Re: Were 10-6 49ers of '91 as good as record indicated?
No knock on Deion at all, but I find that interesting. They went from having the 1994 defensive player of the year in Sanders to having two players who received votes for the award in 1995 in Merton Hanks and Ken Norton Jr. Hanks and Norton weren't good players. They got votes because the media had...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
On page 10 of this thread, I talked about how KC could have had Troy Aikman. They aren't the only ones. In Week 1 of the 1988 season, this happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geH3xsQF5m0 Then, in Week 13, the Steelers were able to beat KC 16-10 after Steve DeBerg overthrew a wide open Kittrick...

Re: Packers Saints rivalry
Who's better between the Saints & Packers, '83, not a bad idea for a thread. Would NO's defense despite their offense have been able to take advantage of a falling Dallas team as the Rams were able to do? Would Green Bay's offense have been able to do the same despite their defense? NO almost w...

Re: Joe Thomas with 49ers
I heard that the Falcons were also looking at Thomas, but he went to SF because he was friends with Eddie D.
He probably doesn't do much better in Atlanta. They probably fire him, and maybe they hire Eddie Lebaron a few years later (and maybe Dan Reeves takes the HC job and doesn't go to Denver).

Re: 2022/1989 Pittsburgh Steelers
Especially the Steelers. Bubby Brister would have been too young and devil may care to know that he is supposed to get slammed.One key is that DEN had the previous Super Debacles looming over their heads- PIT/CLE wouldn't have had that pressure.

Re: Eagles at Falcons NFCCG, 1980
As for a hypothetical SB..... I don't think Leeman Bennett would have had ATL as uptight ala Vermeil. Bartkowski couldn't have fared any worse than Jaws did. The Raiders routed the Falcons the year before (50-19 in Week 7). In that game, Atlanta out-gained the Raiders (434-347) but had six turnover...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
The 73 Raiders lost 4 games and had a tie. They barely held off Denver in their own division, plus benefitted from a playoff rotation where they avoided Cincinnati. That was by far OAK’s weakest team of the Madden era 1970 seemed to be a bit weaker, but 1973 wasn't far off. The next three years, th...

Re: 1983 Chargers
The 84 Chargers are more intriguing 0-8 in the AFC West but 7-1 against the rest of the league (including wins over Miami AND Chicago) Right. I remember PRO! magazine doing a feature on the AFC West at the end of that season (being the toughest division in football, which it was in spades). I am al...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
I think Bill Parcells said if the Giants had selected Reggie White in the 1985 allocation of the rights to USFL players, their defense would have been declared illegal. I think they selected Hall of Fame tackle Gary Zimmerman, but he did not like New York City. They probably get one more Super Bowl...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
Gabriel could have joined, with Tom Flores traded a year earlier and Lamonica still backing up Kemp in Buffalo. Could Gabriel had led them to a western division championship over the Chiefs? Could other former NFL QBs had helped other AFL teams? As for the Rams in the NFL, they would have lost thei...
