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...

Re: CHOG concept
It's tough for an actual good player to go ten years with consistent play and not get an accolade or postseason game. Larry Stallings is a good example making a Pro Bowl and played a long time.

Re: Worst draft classes for a team
Though he contributed to championship teams and made the HOF, Bobby Beathard had some horrible drafts for the Chargers, before he left in 2000. Gil Brandt made the HOF for Dallas but had bad drafts during the 80s. If these guys can make it, why not Jack Vainisi or Don Klosterman?

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
Good speculation on a potential Cowboys-Jets SB in early 1983. Either the Cowboys pass rush would have gotten to Todd, forcing mistakes or Freeman McNeil could run wild, because as usual back then, the Cowboy's linebackers were slow. I feel Dallas would have let McNeil get his carries as long as the...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
That's the thing, I tried to include injuries and momentum from the championship games but you were on the nose with most of your picks. Its close either way but like people have pointed out, it's amazing that certain matchups like Dallas-Oakland or SF-Buffalo, never happened in the SB. Carolina at ...

Re: 2024 Obituaries
RIP Jimmy Johnson A pioneering shut down cornerback who deserved to be on a championship team. Not many QBs would throw in his area and just across the Bay in Oakland, was another great cornerback as well in Willie Brown. Had I lived in that era and area as a young man, I would have went to Kezar an...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
Thanks again SeahawksFever for an interesting post ... Hypothetical SB Matchups/Playoff Bowls Two ... I feel in an early 2003 SB, the Titans would have beaten the Eagles who didn't have quality wide receivers. I felt the 2008 Ravens were stronger than the Eagles, even with a rookie QB and would have...

Re: Hypothetical post merger Playoff Bowls
Like 74_75_78_79 stated, an interesting list of matchups that could have been SB matchups, rather than playing in a losers bowl. I don't believe the Cowboys without Calvin Hill could have beaten the Raiders in early 1974 however ... I don't believe the Jets would have beaten the Cowboys in early 198...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
Good scenario 7D ... although if Allen would have stayed in Washington like he should have, I don't think Rosenbloom would have hired Walsh. Paul Brown did a good job of telling others that Walsh was too emotional to be a HC and it was Al Davis that let Walsh know what was being said. Though Walsh d...
