Can't help thinking Trestman deserves another chance without Cutler. Last year they were one of the highest scoring offenses with a journeyman quarterback. McCown said last year he was never more prepared for a game since Trestman was his coach. The comparison was made by others already, but Cutler...

Assuming Trestman is fired(that's a pretty safe bet at this point based on all reports) has there ever been as short and disastrous coaching hire? Even a guy like Dave Shula got 5 years. Trestman took over a 10-6 team and in two seasons has them finishing either 5-11 or 6-10 and will be out of a job...

Faneca, Troy P, and Big Ben all get in. So does Bettis.

Surprised no mention of Drew Brees here.

I recently read Peter Richmond's book "Badasses" and in the chapter on "The Immaculate Deception" he mentions that there was another view of the play from the end zone behind Bradshaw which NBC ran behind the credits at the end of the game. San Francisco Examiner writer Frank Co...

Don't forget 1995 was an expansion year - two more teams to dilute the defensive talent pool. While true, the AFC didn't see a similar bump. The NFC that year was just crazy. Maybe just one of those crazy things that happens from time to time with no real good reason but wasn't sure if anyone had a...

Was looking into Isaac Bruce's career and looked at his 1995(119 catches 1781 yards 13 TD's) which didn't even result in a Pro Bowl berth and started looking around PFR at why. The NFC WR numbers in 1995 were insane. Jerry Rice: 122 catches 1848 yards 15 TD's (All Pro/Pro Bowl) Herman Moore: 123 cat...

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
