Paul Warfield believed had the Dolphins gotten by the Raiders, they would have beaten the Steelers in the Orange Bowl before beating Minn. I am doubtful, without Jake Scott. 1974 was the last year of the rotation system for the AFC Title Game. That year, it went West, Central, and then East. So, if...

I mentioned the 1993 Patriots in this thread. I would also like to mention the 1991 Pats as well. The 1990 Pats, as we all know, are one of the worst teams ever, and HC Rod Rust was fired after only one year. So, they hired Syracuse's Dick MacPherson to be the new HC, and they hired Joe Collier (ex-...

Outside of the Cowboys and 49ers, was any other NFC team from 1992-1995 REALLY good? Good points. Heck, the Packers had better offenses in the early-00's with a great offensive line, Ahman Green, and WR's like Driver and Javon Walker. You also had perennial pretenders in the Eagles, Lions, and Viki...

Denver and Buffalo could beat teams like Washington and San Fran in the regular season, but then in the Super Bowl they'd just get stomped.

I think Buffalo would have done better playing the 49ers in those SB's instead of the smashmouth Giants, Skins, and Cowboys.

1993 Patriots: Bledsoe and Tuna's first year. They lost six games by three points or less, including two in OT (Week 2 against Detroit and Week 10 against Buffalo). After the loss to the Steelers in Week 14 (on a goal line stand), they won their last four games, including an OT thriller against Miam...

Why was he not coaching in 1973?

I think he just got sick of the meddling from the front office, from what I have read. Makes sense, because GM Russ Thomas was an incompetent.

Exactly. That's what I have been saying.

When the Bills were already having trouble beating NFC teams in the postseason how would have trading away their hall of fame running back of helped. I think you guys are just trying to argue for arguments sake. I guess in some people's eyes if you didn't play for the Broncos that makes you suspect...

What would trading Kelly or Thomas have accomplished? Honestly, I wouldn't have traded Kelly. However, trading Thurman and some other players and shaking things up after three straight SB losses wouldn't have been a bad idea, especially with what we know now (that they never won one). Apparently 7D...

What precedent was Mortenson citing?

At the time, Mortenson claimed that Kelly and Thomas didn't get along that good, and that Kelly wasn't the best student of the game (and that he wasn't prepared enough for the SB's as he could have been or something).
