Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Where does Elway rank for you CS ? I'm guessing above Steve Fuller? As for Denver always beating Cleveland/Houston, I have three thoughts: 1) You had two of the worst postseason coaches in Schottenheimer & Glanville, three if you include Pardee. But... 2) In a few of the games, two against Clev...

Most impressive/interesting achievement
What is the singular most impressive stat/thing that you've seen in each sport? Football = Don Hutson lapping the field in 1942 receiving Baseball = Toby Harrah & Bump Wills hitting inside-the-park HRs on consecutive pitches Basketball = Isiah Thomas 16 points in last 94 seconds to force OT in p...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I think that's kind of ridiculous, but I think you did mention a really overrated team: the 1985 Bears. They went 15-1 (winning a weak division in a walk) and routed an 11-5 AFC team quarterbacked by Tony Eason and coached by Raymond Berry; the 49ers went 15-1 and trounced a 14-2 team with Dan Mari...

Agreed....that's what makes it exclusive!Brian wolf wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 12:48 am 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
1967 Falcons, coming off an expansion year, had NO ONE from their draft make the team. Interesting. The 67 Saints had a draft that I didn't really understand. They ended up getting a few good players, but their first two picks were Bo Burris and Les Kelley. Burris was a QB who the Saints had planne...

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...

Criteria to be eligible for the CHOG is as follows: *Must have been in the NFL (including AAFC/AFL) for 10+ seasons. *Must have started for 9 consecutive seasons. *Must have never won a postseason game. *Must never have received any ...

Re: E.J. Holub
I would bet there are more players than E.J. who started Super Bowls at more than one position. Ronnie Lott comes to mind (CB 81&84; S 88&89). However, I don't know if there was anyone who started on offense on one occasion and defense on another... anyone? Here is some hasty research: Mike...
