Re: Greatest passing day in Pro Football history?

Possibly the best ever. I'd say either Ben's game today or you could make a case for Y. A. Tittle here...

Re: TOP QBs of TODAY

Ben Roethlisberger is 15? His playoff record is 10-4. This is why I hate fantasy football. It's completely screwed up how a lot of people watch the game.
Interestingly, he may just have had the best game, fantasy-wise, by a QB in league history today. 522 yards, 6 TDs, 0 picks

Re: Expansion in the 60's with no AFL

If expansion doesn't come quick enough for some cities' liking, I wonder if Gary Davidson starts the WFL seven to eight years earlier. I think that he was one of the founders of the ABA in 1967. ...which would divert his attention away from the founding of the ABA. Who knew that the ripple effects ...

Re: Expansion in the 60's with no AFL

With Paul Brown out in Cleveland in 1962, perhaps he uses his influence to get an expansion team in Cincinnati in the late 60's early 70's.
ah. You're right. Cincy probably would have gotten a late 60s expansion team just like in real life.

Re: 1970 AFC Title Game Question

In a book I have it says that Lamonica pulled a thigh muscle early in the second quarter because of a hard hit by Bubba Smith and left the game.

Re: Contributors in the PFHOF next year

Sabol. He probably had as much of a hand in the growth of NFL Films as his father. If not more.

Re: Why is CBS showing the Seattle Carolina game?

Something similar happened here in Buffalo a few weeks ago with a Bills/Patriots game being on Fox. The only answer I got was something to the effect of NBC might have flexed out a game from CBS earlier to CBS had the right to steal a game from Fox. So it was a 3 way swap of games? Really weird.

Re: Expansion in the 60's with no AFL

One thought that comes to mind is that the NFL would probably have a look and structure similar to the NHL and NBA with Eastern and Western Conferences. Since that's how the NFL was divided up in 1960 they probably wouldn't have any reason to change that. Would the championship game even be called t...

Re: Rams seem to be as good as gone...

I'm from Buffalo and most of my in-laws are in St. Louis. Whenever we visit for Christmas every other year and I start up a conversation about the Rams or football in general, I get not much more than blank stares. Its all Cardinals and a bit of the Blues whenever they're good. I did go to a Rams ga...
