Re: Kicking is just too easy

The NFL doesn't know what to do about Extra Points and Kickoffs. My thought on this draws a bit from rugby...the scoring team can elect to kick the Extra Point from anywhere on the field, and the spot of the Extra Point kick will also be the spot used for the ensuing kickoff to the other team. So a ...

Great college football teams from the 1930's-50's & the NFL

I have an old Sporting News book from the late 80's which lists the alleged 25 greatest college football teams of all-time. Its an interesting book with a ton of information, even if the rankings are kind of weird (Jimmy Johnson's 1986-1987 Miami Hurricanes teams are ranked behind the 1976 Tony Dors...

Re: 1950's Detroit Lions

The Rams were a good team from 1949 through 1955 (some call them a dynasty), but did not have as good a defense as Detroit, even though they had great pass rushers Larry Brink and Andy Robustelli. The Rams could score points with their great offense (Waterfield, Van Brocklin, Hirsch, Fears, Boyd, T...

Re: 1953 NFL Championship game footage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq3tvLnZpfc Volume 4 of 4 Just a few quick thoughts on the game. The Lions seemed to be able to move the ball better than the Browns, but they also seemed to be stuck in terrible field position for most of the game. Graham was not incredibly sharp, but his receivers ...

Re: 1953 NFL Championship game footage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsnW2K01Hcw The Lions pull off a successful "Home Run Throwback" with Doak Walker completing a 20-yard TD pass play to Bobby Layne at the 4:40 mark of the video...only to be nullified by penalty. I assume its because Layne lined up under center and then bec...

Re: 1950's Detroit Lions

...saban, sure have enjoyed what you have written concerning the '56 lions, yet have to take issue with one statement. gilmer did not play well against the bears. film study(many times have watched the film of this game)shows that gilmer just is not a quality back-up coming off the bench. the lion ...
