Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
Haha ... that's true Bryan, yet as you know, the Colts were a lot better at the end of that season. Unitas actually threw well against the Dolphins in the AFC Champ game in 1971 but just couldn't get them on the board after O' Brien missed early FG attempts.

Re: Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs
With a chance to win the division, the 76' Bengals blew both games against the Steelers. They also could have beaten the Raiders to win the Central but lost. At least they beat the Steelers in late 1977. They may have overlooked the Oilers or simply had a letdown ... these losses, as well as a 75' l...

Re: Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs
The 67' Colts were the top team, but the 77' Bengals just missed as well. After whipping the Steelers, they had the division if they could beat the Oilers the final weekend but Houston got to Anderson with their pass rush that day and won, giving Phillips another winning season.

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
Had Baltimore won their division in 1971 like they should have, a very interesting match-up in KC for the playoffs. Due to the weather and Municipal Stadium, Unitas I believe, would have had a good throwing day with the Colts winning a close, defensive battle. I feel the Colts wouldn't have struggle...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
The weakest Raiders team in the Madden era was his last in 1978. Injuries and bad play on the offensive line(Marvin) allowed Stabler to get hit too frequently as he had a bad year. With an 8-4 record, the Raiders lost three straight before ending the year with a victory over Minnesota. The defense w...

Re: Kirk Cousins (R.I.P. Vikings career?) - How did he do?
The drafting of Penix makes me feel Cousins will get two seasons and that's it. The Falcons probably felt the Vikings didn't put enough pressure or urgency on him but it takes a team to win it all.

Re: Kirk Cousins (R.I.P. Vikings career?) - How did he do?
Good call on McCarthy, RC ...
Meanwhile, Atlanta has had an interesting off-season, turning down Belichick for Morris, giving a bunch of money to Cousins, who now has to win games while mentoring the #8th overall pick in the draft in QB Penix ... I dunno

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
So we penalize the 73 Dolphins because they didn't have to face the Steelers, Rams or Cowboys? The Cowboys lost Calvin Hill in the playoffs, the Steelers allowed the Raiders to run all over them and the Bengals were bombing defenses with Anderson to Curtis, not to mention a good running game. The Do...

Re: Seniors
Good call Jackson ... John Gilliam was just as much a deep threat as Harold Jackson but was also hurt by going to multiple teams. Had he stayed with the Vikings, instead of going to Atlanta, his numbers might have compared with Jackson's as well, but his career ended with injuries after leaving the ...

Re: John Stallorth/Lynn Swann VS Jerry Rice/John Taylor
Prescient thread however, since Pearson and Branch have made the HOF and Sharpe will soon. Looking back at Swann's career, it's amazing how well he played in big games, for division, wild card, conference or SB, he delivered. I feel had he stayed healthy his last three seasons, the Steelers would ha...
