Re: 1971 NFL season discussion
New Orleans made their wins count (Rams, 49ers, Cowboys- plus the Oakland tie that felt like a win) Yes, Archie Manning pulled up some good quality wins. Going back to magazines in 1972 (previews) they mention that was one of reasons they thought Saints would be a good team in 1972-73-74 ... Didn't...

Re: Michael Strahan- Did he only make the HOF because of his storybook ending?
Strahan also is credited with the most tackles for a loss in 2001, 2003, and 2005 according to pro football reference. TFLs are dubious in a lot of ways because of how they keep them. They only count solo tackles, lead tackles -- that's one. Two, if you force a fumble you don't get credit for a TFL...

Re: 1983 Chargers
The defense was atrocious. They played a 3-4 The Chargers usually played a base zone, Classic Tom Bass. I think there were the things you mentioned plus the philosophical differences between players and Bass, and also fit. Bass wanted to run a Tampa-like defense and in 2nd year got to do it full ti...

Thank you
Interesting artifact from the Aug. 12, 1968 edition of Broadcasting magazine. It includes a team-by-team rundown of flagship stations, announcers, and sponsors, as well as information about what networks paid to broadcast pro and college football. The article starts on page 23. https://www.worldrad...

Re: Joe Thomas with 49ers
He was gone so fast --- and he not make a lot of picks --- and how much he actually scouted Bunz and McAfee But the other actioned doomed him ... all sorts of blunders and fighting with people, firing coaches unloading a few guys ... that seemed like good players So, not sure of the question, all I ...

Re: Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs
1975 Oilers- Same 10-4 record as Miami and actually beat them H2H (that famous NFL Films clip of Bum Phillips/Ronnie Coleman after the winning TD). If the 2nd WC of the late 70s had been around, they would have gotten in at the Dolphins expense Playing the the Steelers' and Bengals' division, too

Re: Seniors
As for Meador and Cromwell, I see what you mean when you imply that Meador would look like a better career on paper as he has two more pro bowls. But Cromwell's accolades (which include three first team all pros in addition to four pro bowls) might be a tad more impressive because he played his ent...
