The issue for me isn't that. It's that I'd seen a lot of football and never hed seen it called before ... maybe you did, but it was something that was a surprise. It meant they were wrong for years and years and that was when they started enforcing it. Right! That's my objection exactly. That was t...

The Tuck Rule game ... damn the ruling and interpretation of the "incomplete pass" ... Brady clearly brought the ball down from a passing motion making him a RUNNER who fumbled the ball into the Raiders hands. No way that was an intended pass. Still on the short list of the worst calls I'...

George Allen's first season in Washington. NFL Films did a really good overview of their season that used to be on YouTube. Not sure if it still is. Basically knocked the Rams out of the playoffs on a late Monday Night Football win. I was going to mention Allen too. Besides his arrival, the two thi...

Coaching? Yeah right Dallas won in spite of Jimmy not because of him Washington players basically coached themselves Parcells played not to lose But they got away with it because this was when basically you just drafted offensive lines by size rather than actual ability This is becoming more and mo...

In 2006, the Titans were outgained 396-98 but still won thanks to 3 defensive touchdowns (83 and 61 yard interception returns, 92 yard fumble return score) A similar game took place in the American Association in 1940. The Jersey City Giants outgained the Paterson Panthers 293 to 77 and made 17 fir...

You sure it's Isiah Thomas you're thinking of? I ask because Reggie Miller did something very similar in 1994 or '95.

The 1984 49ers IMHO are the most overrated team in NFL history ... But worst of all was their attitude- they seemed emotionless, played with no joy, came off as robots. They somehow made an 18-1 season seem as exciting as a tax return. There’s a reason why the 85 Bears had the same record and becam...

Oh, and if we're just talking about teams from after the merger in 1970, I might vote for the 1979 Redskins. I think they would have been the NFC's top seed for the playoffs if not for that one-point to Dallas in the final game. I thought that also until a few years ago when I really dug in and res...

After losing tough championship games, the players wouldn't have cared about another game. I think that's what killed the Playoff Bowl, in fact. For the first several years, the teams involved were just the ones that finished second, and the postseason appearance served as a lower-class award for a...
