Upton Bell, born in 1937, had to be referring to when CS was official with Bears ... not when he was friends with Halas at Univ of Chi and shared ideas on T But still ... would like to know what he means by "new" that was designed circa 1951+ as per the flanker position 2024-02-21_19-44-3...

And then my next thought was Elroy Hirsch - that's it. 24 games.

EDIT: Okay, now I see I clicked the receiving yards column. PFR has those listed first on his profile. But I still got Sayers right.

Well, my first guess after Brown and Perry was that Steve Van Buren might have done it - so close with 18. Of course, he had a few 10-game regular seasons.

My next guess - Gale Sayers. 20 exactly.

Before Schottenheimer, KC went to the playoffs only one time since the Dolphins playoff game in 1971. He won three division titles. Hank Stram won 4 in his tenure, which was much longer. Before KC, Marty made winners out of the Cleveland Browns. I understand that he didn't go to the Super Bowl with ...

Two tihngs: 1. I have not heard of Strat-O-Matic, what is that? and 2. In my experience these days, coaches are criticized more for clock management than quarterbacks are.

Hadl?) being rated a 3 one season. Played a few games while eating Cheetos. Orange thumb prints all over th...

Here I thought it might be the Broncos team that went 11-5 and missed the playoffs in 1985, but I see that they lost to the Dolphins at home.

I agree the game is different and I am one of the first guys to say things like, "What about Otto Graham/Bart Starr/Johnny Unitas" when people start raving about current quarterbacks. I've been watching since the late 70s. I saw the back half of the Steelers dynasty. I watched Montana's e...

Reid is being underrated here fairly significantly. I said before the game the Chiefs would win and they would outcoach the 49ers. They outcoached the 49ers the last time, outcoached the Eagles, outcoached the 49ers again. I am very impressed by that. Above Landry, no question about it. Shula in th...
