Re: NFL MVP's who didn't deserve to win
If I were to cast a "just to be different" vote in 1994 for MVP...maybe make a case for Ben Coates. Became an elite tight end that year. 96 receptions. At that point it was the most ever by a TE. He was also a good blocker...clutch catch after clutch catch.

Re: 1997 Raiders Defense
I remember being at a Raiders/Jets game where Cole Ford went 1/5 and absolutely cost them a win. It was one of those rare games where the Jets opponent followed the script usually reserved for the Jets Raiders had 0 turnovers and even had fewer penalties than the Jets! Normally a 90s Raider loss wa...

Re: 2021 QB draft class
Just how badly Wilson can look out there is really jarring. Poor accuracy. Terrible ball placement on the easiest of throws. Perfectly set up screens which he throws at the feet of the receiver and 3 yards in front of him. No ability to read a defense. Will outright not see an open receiver and opt ...

Re: NYG under Ray Perkins, 1979-thru-'82
I think they are still good though not quite the level that master motivator Parcells would get them. You still have George Young and Ernie Adams there. The talent there would have them either in or competing for a playoff spot every year. I do not think Parcells stays there as DC & LB coach if ...

Re: Aaron Donald Retires
Absolute first ballot HOF'er and a dominant force. His ability to shed a tackle and just appear out of a mass of bodies at the line and rocket towards a QB was something else.
He could go from being engaged in a block to engulfing a QB 7 yards away in seemingly less than half a second.

Re: 1995 Patriots- What went wrong?
The defense wasn't great in 1994, but they finished 12th in points allowed and 18th in total yards. The next year, they dropped to 25th in points and 28th in yards allowed. One reason for this may have been turnover on the DL. In 1994, they had 12-year vet Mike Pitts and former Cardinal Mike Jones ...

Re: Kirk Cousins (R.I.P. Vikings career?) - How did he do?
With Cousins now going to the Falcons, the Vikings have their chance to develop someone from the draft but who will they go after? Well, we got our answer yesterday with the signing of Sam Darnold to the Vikings. They signed him to a one-year, $10 million contract, which I'm told is the cap-percent...

Re: 1992 Philadelphia Eagles discussion
Kotite in 1992 wasn't quite yet the total burnout he would be when he joined the Jets in 1995 (leaving his own teams practice early to beat traffic) Walker in 1992 was about 30 which was a scary number for running backs in the NFL historically, so it was quite an achievement for him to hit 1,000 eve...
