Re: Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?
I think the 66 Giants were worst of the worst. They didn’t have the expansion excuse of Tampa and were a more veteran team than those early Raiders Very good point! No "excuses", but IMO those two early AFL ( new , lesser league at the time) Raider teams mentioned, and of course who I fee...

'41 VS '85 BEARS (for their time)??
"Adjusting inflation", as I'd say. It seems to me that it's down to those two as for who the 'Best-EVER' Bears team is! Yes, you got 1963. Superior defense! But, perhaps, can be seen as a 2000 Ravens pre-cursor considering their extreme defense-heavy-ness. '34 & '43 can be seen as 'twi...

Re: 1974 Dallas Cowboys
Down-the-stretch, no, maybe still not as good as the surrounding years, but playoff-caliber by then just the same. But the 1-4 start did them in. Losing at the Vet, MNF? Sort of a bit understandable in that the Eagles started well that year, and they were due to have their way with them if just for ...

Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?
Starting the very year of Lombardi's first World Champion squad, and ending with that infamous 'dead-ball' year - which ended with the first Super Bowl under a Dome - and all the seasons in-between, who are YOUR Top 10 teams? And your WORST 10 teams? Teams that didn't win a title can be included on ...

Re: 2022/1989 Pittsburgh Steelers
Contrary to what SO MANY people who know me who know that I'm a Steelers-fan, I am NOT a Penguins-fan; nor Pirates-fan either. I'm still traumatized over 1960 despite the event being more than a decade before my birth! And does 'A Bronx Tale' EVER so remind me!! I am a Steelers and Yankees fan. Some...

Re: NFL MVP's who didn't deserve to win
What's ur take on Bananas', 74_75_78_79? Lost his desire? Not the same after injuries, or simply one of the first 90s players to check out after a big payday? Many free agents would follow the same example ... All I know is, end of day, he was a one-year-and-change-wonder. Just the same, not just a...

Re: NFL MVP's who didn't deserve to win
Good discussion on 1992. I felt Sharpe in GB carried his team as much as Foster in Pitts. Smith and Young had great seasons as well but when a QB leads a team to 14 wins, he will usually get more attention ... Foster had that great season but after two more injury plagued seasons, was out of footba...

Re: NFL MVP's who didn't deserve to win
This is a bit of a controversial choice, but..... 1992 Steve Young 1994 no question he earned it, but 1992..... I'd have given it to Barry Foster. Foster did more with less carrying Cowher's first PIT team given how much of an offensive burden he carried. Steve Young had a great supporting cast, fa...

Double-thread: '85 Lions and '86 Falcons
Two 'almost'-one-year-wonder mid-'80s teams one year apart who each started strong, gathering up quality-wins within those starts, but would falter whilst still, at least, looking respectable late in each season. We'll start, chronologically, with the '85 Lions. Daryll Rodgers now onboard, taking ov...

Re: 1993 Steelers
Cowher hops onboard and immediately turns things around! No, not a 9-7 miracle playoff-berth, but their first top-seed finish since 1978! But it was done by backing into that very 11-5 finish in a not-so-dominant conference. I remember, going into those playoffs, many around me saying, "Steele...
