Re: Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs

The playoffs in the 1960's weren't what they are today but probably one of the best teams from any era to miss the post season was the 1967 Baltimore Colts. There aren't a lot of one-loss teams that didn't make it to the playoffs, especially with a league MVP (Unitas) at QB. https://www.pro-footbal...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread

I don't agree about the 73 Dolphins ... the expectations of defending a world championship is difficult for any team, especially since it was only done thrice since the end of the 1959 season when Baltimore and Green Bay did it--excluding the AFL*-- The Dolphins hammered the Bengals, Raiders and Vi...

Re: COFFIN CORNER VOLUME 46 NUMBER 1

Re: Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?

I'm too lazy to do a Top 10 list. I'll do a Top 1 list:

Worst: 1966 Giants

But man, I just looked up the Bucs' first 2 seasons. Forgot how truly terrible they were. They were shut out in 11 of their first 26 games. Brutal.
