Re: Seniors

Anderson usually covered the tight end, back or receiver if the cornerback reacted to the flat, or short pass. Not many strong safeties have three seasons with eight interceptions but Anderson did, as well as make big hits. He was DROY in the AFL and like John said, DPOY. No doubt had he not been in...

Re: Super Bowl champions by the percent of the time they passed the football

The 1970 Cowboys' defense shut down the Lions, 49ers and Colts in the postseason, giving up three total TDs, one a simple fluke. Landry refused to replace an injured QB, which cost his team the championship.

Re: Seniors

SeahawkFever ... I have been an advocate for Jake Scott and Dick Anderson for the HOF for years. Scott has a much better chance unless Anderson can be considered an injury exception like Terrell Davis or Ken Easley. When he had his injury in 1975, he was considered the best strong safety in the game...

Re: Seniors

Maybe Scott gets more traction amongst senior nominees this year. He should have been elected awhile back.

Re: "Equal"s

Though decades apart, I felt Tony Dorsett and Chris Johnson were the same type of runners. I thought Adrian Peterson was very similar to Gale Sayers early in his career and Billy Sims was similar to Leroy Kelly ...

Re: Strongest 500 or below team to NOT make the playoffs

Had Dallas faced anyone but Philly to end the 1990 season--Troy would be done in that game, making the Atlanta game and easy loss-- they would have been a hot but undeserving playoff team. With pure young talent, Johnson might have made a run but losing to Philly was actually better ... The 1991 sea...

Re: "Equal"s

For me, Tom Flores was the AFL equal to Bart Starr, just didn't have the offensive line or defense as GB

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

I miss how cool uniforms looked in the early 90s, probably the last years carrying over from the 50s ... once Reebok, then Nike took over, jersies started looking worse and worse. Maybe players liked them better but I miss the old school looks. I was happy when Parcells changed the Jets jersies back...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls

Had the 2019 conference runner-ups GB and TN met for the SB, I think the Titans might have upset the Packers. Derrick Henry was on a roll that postseason and had the Titans outscored the Chiefs in the championship game, Henry would have been rolling against the Packers as well. Yes, Rodgers was MVP ...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

Haha ... Yes Ralph, I bitch about calls, not the people who bitch about them ...

Just like bitching about referees who think a lateral which is clearly behind the line of scrimmage is somehow a forward pass.
Many fumbles have been ruled incomplete passes and it's gets frustrating.
