Definitely Thompson, who I believe deserves HOF consideration. Like Griese, he took his team to three consecutive championship games, utilizing his best running back, while winning too and was one of the first successful T-Formation QBs ... he didnt have an Earl Morrall winning ten straight games fo...

I see what youre saying about 1991, though Buffalo and Denver played an excellent, defensive, AFC Championship game. Too bad the Lions couldnt step it up against the Redskins. After watching the Lions whip the Cowboys, a team that matched the Redskins very well -- I am sure the Redskin players could...

Haha ... yes the Steelers are a good organization, yet only Bradshaw and Big Ben won SBs, so Ben will get in ...

Shaw coached against Parker, Ewbank, Halas and Owner Dan Reeves, with Gillman later joining the mix.
A tough division to win.

He went to the eastern division and turned the Eagles around with Brocklin pretty quickly. Despite the Giants, as well.

After mentioning Barber and Lynch above will Rice make the semifinals again ?

Good posts ...

NFC ... N.O, TB ... Rams upsetting Hawks
AFC ... Balt, Pitts ... Indy upsetting Buff

Lynch has waited patienty, being a former finalist with bites at the apple, while Barber becomes a first-time finalist. Bot...

It may have been presented before but another underepresented position for at least the 80s on up, is the nose/shade tackle position. Though many people were not happy with Curley Culp being elected to the HOF, I was delighted and believed it was time, though his and Robinson's elections, have proba...

Thanks, Juggernaut for the clear-up ...

Another strong team was the 1984 St Louis Cardinals who had a chance to beat Washington in RFK the final game to win the division but missed a FG, I believe. This offence was potent with Anderson, Mitchell, Lomax and Roy Green looking like Warren Wells going deep ! They had the offense to beat anyon...
