Considering the serious egg that the Rams actually laid vs Dallas at the Coliseum in real-time, As CSkreager pointed out, the Falcons always lost to the Rams in LA. The 78 NFC championship game was weird. The Rams played really tough through 3 quarters. At half it felt like the Rams had the momentu...

If guys like Hubbard and Brian Kelly are on the list, I'm guessing there are going to be someone notable that is completely left off. Someone like Joe Morrison, Homer Jones or (gasp) Del Shofner.

Don Chandler (K) 72. Ron Johnson (HB) 71. Antonio Pierce (LB) I am a little surprised to see Antonio Pierc...

Was it injuries for Ferguson or Buffalo simply needing a slight upgrade at QB? Or a little of both? And maybe they don't win either hypo-AFCCG anyway for Knox, hate to say, historically always had trouble getting past that round albeit lack of a better QB possibly being the reason. I can't really a...
