Re: Dick Vermeil HOF worthy?

Shaw coached against Parker, Ewbank, Halas and Owner Dan Reeves, with Gillman later joining the mix.
A tough division to win.

He went to the eastern division and turned the Eagles around with Brocklin pretty quickly. Despite the Giants, as well.

Re: HOF: Underrepresented Position by Era

Young was definitely a multiple threat like Timmy Brown.

For defensive tackles, hopefully Kevin Williams will be at least a semifinalist next year. Maybe Bryant Young will be back as well if Seymour is elected.

After mentioning Barber and Lynch above will Rice make the semifinals again ?

Re: HOF: Underrepresented Position by Era

It may have been presented before but another underepresented position for at least the 80s on up, is the nose/shade tackle position. Though many people were not happy with Curley Culp being elected to the HOF, I was delighted and believed it was time, though his and Robinson's elections, have proba...

Re: Who's the best 9-7 team that DIDN'T make the playoffs?

Another strong team was the 1984 St Louis Cardinals who had a chance to beat Washington in RFK the final game to win the division but missed a FG, I believe. This offence was potent with Anderson, Mitchell, Lomax and Roy Green looking like Warren Wells going deep ! They had the offense to beat anyon...

Re: Dick Vermeil HOF worthy?

I am new to this site, so I am sure other coaches have been discussed in these forums but Schottenheimer, Knox and Reeves continue to deserve consideration. Why is it okay for Levy to get elected going to four straight SBs -- and losing-- but not okay for Reeves going to three out of four SBs ? Not ...

Re: 2020 Hall of Very Good Election Results

Its strange that someone who makes the HOF, Jim Covert, doesnt get elected to this HOVG. Is there a silent protest going on or he simply isnt better than the players selected ?

I understand, completely.

Re: They're Playing My Game

According to the book, Stram was not a huge fan of Jack Steadman. I felt Steadman was the one who got rid of Abner Haynes for his involvement in the 64 AFL Boycott of the All-Star game in New Orleans. He probably persuaded Hunt to fire Stram and Levy as well. The Chiefs were pathetic until Peterson ...
