This is pretty tough - the 90’s had some dominant championship teams and thanks to players moving around in free agency you didn’t really see all of these teams compete against each other. Off the top of my head I’d go… ‘92 Cowboys ‘93 Cowboys ‘94 49ers ‘99 Rams ‘96 Packers ‘98 Broncos ‘91 Redskins ...

I don’t think Sharper’s play even warrants induction to the Hall, so it doesn’t bother me that his criminal actions seem to be disqualifying him up to this point. His interception numbers vastly overrated his play. He was consistently terrible in coverage, took bad angles at tackling, and was at the...

This is meant to be a broad question, but one I think everyone here would have an opinion on. What was your "best version" of the NFL, and when did it change for you?

Every week during the season the Packers release a "Dope Sheet" with, among other things, rosters and depth charts for their upcoming game: https://www.packers.com/news/dope-sheet-packers-head-into-week-13-bye-2021 Has anyone saved or archived these through the years? I was hoping to find ...

You can find the Cowboys gamebooks and media guides by using their media site: https://www.nflomg.com Select the Cowboys, and then enter the following: Username: cowboysguest Password: cowboys2021 I believe they have every single media guide in team history, and every single gamebook minus a 1967 ga...

Here's a conundrum that I haven't run into before: when is an offensive formation and official positions determined, before or after pre-snap motion? For example, in Week 4 of 2009 Green Bay got the ball first against Minnesota. Green Bay broke the huddle with a RB and FB in the backfield, a TE line...

The Cowboys best chance was 2007 of course but the Giants defense was inspired, while Romo and Owens were quiet. The 2014 and 2016 teams blew both playoff games with leads, while Dez Bryant had the controversial non-catch and Rodgers found a way to beat them the second game. 2007 was the year of th...

Cowboys fans and their local writers seem pretty high on the team's Super Bowl chances this season. As a Packers fan I've gotten pretty used to Mike McCarthy led teams stumbling in the playoffs, but this year's Cowboys team seems pretty deep and talented. Is this the most hope the Cowboys have gener...

Its a tough call between the 1984 and 1989 49er teams. The way the 49ers dismantled the Giants, Bears and Dolphins, not to mention become the first 15-1 team ever, the 1984 team with its overrall depth gets the nod for me, simply because the Rams and Broncos were far weaker teams though Montana had...

One piece of history that I'm surprised to be having problems with is identifying starters in the Pro Bowl, mostly from the 60's and early 70's. I'm noticing mistakes in media guides, and discrepancies in old newspapers from that era. Does anyone know of a good source for finding this information? ...
