It's kind of funny watching this and hearing younger football fans commenting how this is the first time in their lives they can remember the Patriots being bad. It's almost hard for them to compute. For the rest of us of course the Patriots of up until 1992 were not known as one of the NFL's premie...

And we can finally put this one to bed

The New York Jets have beaten the Philadelphia Eagles.

I have my closure for the Eric Allen game.

as it usually is in the Saleh era. All he does is talk and the team continuously comes out unprepared and underachieves. I think you're being a little hard on Robert Saleh. It's hard to win consistently in the N.F.L. w/o solid QB play. Just ask Bill Belichick. Maybe I am, but I don't think he shoul...

I don't mean movies that use footage from actual games, rather scenes that try to recreate something from a pro or college game or practice. I find being a football nerd I tend to pick these apart rather ferociously and missed opportunities and inaccuracies irritate me far more than I should :D I re...

Awful. Strangely I was just watching that old NFL films clip where Francis talks about taking some Raider player on a flight in his private plane and then (jokingly) kicking the door open and threatening to boot him out.

Okay, I'm done. Zach Wilson should not be allowed to play again for the Jets unless in garbage time. He is still at the embarrassment level. He has to make significant improvements to merely be called "bad." Broadway Joe agrees with you 100%: https://sports.yahoo.com/joe-namath-calls-for-...

I have a hunch it has to do with trying to give every advantage possible to the offense. Stacked up at the 1...push em in. Same reason they allow those absurd sticky gloves (which I make regular one handed catches with when I put them on) That's probably the reason. Same way they now allow the offe...

Another weird one was former Oilers WR Tim Smith. 3rd round pick, barely plays 1980-1982. Then in 1983 picks up 83 receptions for 1,176 and follows that up with 69 catches for 1,141. Has a 46 catch season after and that's pretty much it for his career. Those were some miserable years for Houston.

Similar to the Carroll Dale comment, I was really surprised that Terry Metcalf wasn't in the HOVG yet. Seems like this is the sort of thing that was made for that guy. Only really played 5 NFL seasons. He was an incredible game changing type performer but...just didn't have any kind of longevity. M...

I think the Tush Push will be legal until a starting QB gets hurt by it. Then there will be a big outcry and pushing the runner will be against the rules again. Reminiscent of the mass momentum plays of the game's early days ... Exactly. The rule against pushing or pulling the runner was one of sev...
