Re: CHOG concept
Joe Ferguson with Buffalo actually had a .500 starting record until the Bills disastrous 1984 season. Good enough to win games but not clutch enough in postseason.

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
The Cowboys won in spite of Johnson? I don't think so ... he put the fear of God into his players and they responded. Aikman felt the team was too lax under Switzer and Gailey. Johnson could get away with gambles and hunches better than any HC today. Too bad he couldn't get the same results with the...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
You can't be an AFC Champion being average to weak. The teams simply didn't have the depth or coaching that the NFC had. Far better offensive lines than the AFC, though the Niners line wasn't dominate, which makes their offensive prowess even more impressive.

Re: CHOG concept
Jethro Pugh or Jon Kolb could have been perfect examples had theyre teams not been so successful

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Though I hated the 49ers at that time --still hoping the slow Cowboys could win it all-- was very happy to see Gary Johnson get a ring. He was a force in postseason. The Chargers wore him out with too many snaps ...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Haha ... I thought I liked stirring the pot! CS might have me beat ... bad opponents or not, the Niners were the first team to win 15 games in a regular season and still won it all, shutting out Da Bears and making Marino run for his life. If any 15-1 team is overrated it's the 2011 Packers, who fel...

Re: The 6 Losses of the 1991 SF 49ers
Craig's injury happened in 1990. I still feel he could have helped them in 1991 but that fumble in the championship game made it easier for Seifert to let him go. Steve Young was a lot of their running game in 1991.

Re: The 6 Losses of the 1991 SF 49ers
That Oakland loss was not only bad but it set up events that would help the young Cowboys become champions. Charles Haley was so upset after the loss that he created chaos in the locker room and the team had to summon Ronnie Lott from the opposite locker room to help calm him down. Haley was then tr...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
Had Chandler's kick for GB been ruled no good, the Colts probably would have won and hosted the Browns. Matte would throw better but I think the Browns would have went back-to-back as champions. With Baltimore worried about Collins, maybe Warfield would have shined, coming back from injury? Even had...

Re: 1973 Raiders
The concussions that brought down Staubach started against the Falcons in the 1978/79 divisional playoff. Roger recovered and played well against the Rams and Steelers but in Three Rivers the next season in 1979, Staubach took a hit from LC Greenwood that was really bad. Staubach remained the ultima...
