Re: Worst draft classes for a team
6. IK Enemkpali - DT That's the guy who punched QB Geno Smith in the face in August 2015 over 600 dollars that Smith allegedly owed him. Naturally, the Bills and Sexy Rexy signed him after that, and put him on their practice squad after cutting him (he was activated that year and played in 11 games...

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 t...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
Haden played terribly in the mud. I don't see him playing better against Washington's secondary, which was better than Minnesota's (with Joe Lavender, Ken Houston, and Jake Scott).I don’t. LA’s Viking jinx was real and they had already beaten Washington in the 74 playoffs.

Re: Worst draft classes for a team
Since 2017, the Denver Broncos have been held hostage by an out of control John Elway and his crappy FO and scouting department (that even the Walmart-Penner group won't get rid of): 2017: Garret Bolles was a poor pick in Round 1 (over Ramczyk, no less). In Round 2, they take DeMarcus Walker, a 4-3 ...

Re: Best ever Forty Niners team?
What people don't see is it takes a lot of luck with these dynasties. UCLA cheated, but they played in a weak era, and they got lucky several times. 10 titles in 12 years....luck. That's an interesting take. And 1973 Indiana had the most reprehensible person in college basketball history (Dave Blis...

Re: Best ever Forty Niners team?
I suppose it might be that way if you watched the Celtics always win the NBA or John Wooden and UCLA always win. By the time the Yankees won the 3-straight WS, I had watched sports long enough that I was able to appreciate it while it was happening, in a way that I couldn't appreciate the Steelers ...

Re: Were 10-6 49ers of '91 as good as record indicated?
Why should McDonald have been playing linebacker and Lee Woodall strong safety in your opinion? This wasn't my idea, but it came from a guy that I talk football with a lot online (and a former 49er fan). It goes like this: What Lee did best was pass coverage, pursuit, and open-field tackling. Also,...

Re: Were 10-6 49ers of '91 as good as record indicated?
Why were Merton Hanks and Ken Norton Jr. not good in your opinion? And out of curiosity, since you said the media had a bias in favor of that team, was Dana Stubblefield any good? (he won the defensive player of the year in 1997) Hanks was a showboat who got a lot of fluky INT's, wore a bandanna, a...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
What if the Bears don’t win 1977’s Slush Bowl and miss the playoffs? Washington instead would have played LA in the Mud Bowl I actually can see the Redskins pulling off the upset that year in LA before falling in Dallas. Also, if this leads to George Allen getting an extension, then maybe Bill Wals...

Re: Were 10-6 49ers of '91 as good as record indicated?
No knock on Deion at all, but I find that interesting. They went from having the 1994 defensive player of the year in Sanders to having two players who received votes for the award in 1995 in Merton Hanks and Ken Norton Jr. Hanks and Norton weren't good players. They got votes because the media had...
