Re: Bigger shocker, Landry's firing or Jimmy Johnson's "firi

Jimmy was surprising but he was also worn out after the 1993 season. He never was the type to stay with teams very long, even as a college coach. I am a Johnson fan but not sure if he should have made the HOF over coaches like Parker, Coryell, Schott or Knox but back to back championships--and tale...

Re: Bigger shocker, Landry's firing or Jimmy Johnson's "firi

Yeah there really is no comparison here. Johnson had taken the league by storm during his five years at Dallas and was a defending two time Super Bowl champion. Landry (although extremely successful in the past) had struggled in recent years and many thought the game had passed him by by the late '8...

Re: 1994 Cowboys

95 Cowboys perhaps. But likely not the '94 team. Remember the game against Cincinnati, when Jeff Blake and Darnay Scott bombed them to a 14-0 lead (before Dallas came back to win 23-20)? Dallas's secondary was vulnerable. Darren Woodson should have been FS, and James Washington was SS. And, their C...

Re: 1994 Cowboys

And if 'steamrolling-down-the-stretch' Blitzburgh doesn't allow the Chargers to make it there in the first place, it would have been real difficult for they to beat Dallas. Noticeably more-so difficult than their actual SB date in the dessert a year later. This despite the '94 Steelers, IMO, being ...

1994 Cowboys

The 1994 Cowboys have always in my opinion been the most interesting of all the Cowboys teams of that era. One aspect is that they didn't when the Super Bowl so it is fun to speculate about how good they 'actually' were. Another is that they had a different head coach than the previous two teams so ...

Re: Buddy Ryan was pursued as Vikings' DC for '91

To be honest after seeing that Houstan '93 documentary I think any team would have been smart to stay away from Buddy Ryan as the guy was truly toxic. He was a great defensive coordinator if he had the perfect set of talent and was an all around very average head coach. His ego was far bigger than t...

Re: After this years SB I think I might be done as a current

Well regardless I am just not sure I can support the current NFL anymore. It's hard enough to watch it when the teams really aren't all that great anymore. But then when you add in things like what happened at the end of the biggest game of the year that just becomes a little too much for people who...

Re: After this years SB I think I might be done as a current

The refs just made sure the Eagles didn't have a chance to come back and drive for a tie or a win. It almost seems like the league wants their big stars to win.

After this years SB I think I might be done as a current fan

Never mind that there was virtually no defense played the entire game but then the refs all but gave the game to the Chiefs on a very iffy call on the most important play of the game. I'll always be a fan of the history of the league but I am getting to the point to where I'm just not sure I can wat...

Re: Prayers for Damar Hamlin

Yeah looks like they are saying his vitals are back to normal but that they aren't sure if there was brain damage that was done due to him not being able to breath on his own.
