Most of Drew Brees' Saints teams were basically carbon copies of the Air Coryell Chargers- an offense without a defense.

Going for an opposite of the recent 75_75_78_79 thread about weakest teams above-500 teams that didn't make the playoffs. In other words, this thread is about teams that DID NOT finish with a winning record but were anything but weak. The poster boys for this would be the 1989 Cincinnati Bengals: +1...

1992 Colts I could've so easily ended up 4-12...but to get over .500 and finish 9-7 with an offense that seven times scored 10 or fewer points (shut out 3 times) basically the inverse of teams that couldn't finish above .500 because their defense allowed way too many points (ie 1984/1985 Chargers, ...

I am not upset, because it's just a game, but I will put it to you this way: Who did the 97 Broncos beat in the SB, and who did those NFC teams (from 84-96 beat) in the Super Bowl? Well, the Broncos beat the best defense in the NFL and the three-time MVP in Brett Favre. Their offensive line neutral...

Chris Mortensen said in The Sporting News after the first Dallas loss that the Bills should have traded either Jim Kelly or Thurman Thomas. I would have traded Thermal, and he wouldn't have been the only guy I got rid of. Ah yes, the start of 'hot take' reporting with guys dropping in to ESPN to de...

This team allowed the most points in a season by any team in the 1990s

They had a -235 PD and somehow it wasn't even the worst PD for a team that season

I get the feeling that you are a little bitter because those late '90's Bronco teams are kind of forgotten about because they fell in between that NFC run of dominance and the Patriots dynasty. I am not upset, because it's just a game, but I will put it to you this way: Who did the 97 Broncos beat ...

With KC trying to do what no team has done in the SB era, I want to look at teams that had a realistic shot at a Threepeat No 68 Packers (Lombardi left) or 99 Broncos (Elway retired) Between these teams how would you assess their 3Peat Chances and efforts: 1974 Dolphins 1976 Steelers 1980 Steelers 1...

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...

New Orleans made their wins count (Rams, 49ers, Cowboys- plus the Oakland tie that felt like a win)
