1981- the sea change year. Legendary draft class, rise of the 49ers and Giants, end of the Raiders/Steelers hegemony New blood like the Jets and Bengals, Vikings and Rams fell off The start of Gibbs first tenure. Starting 0-5, outgaining their opponents by ~500 yards but going -15 in turnovers. The...

2009 Jets D (year 1 of Rex) just missed the cut on this, allowing 14.8 ppg Their offense gave up 3 fumble return TDs and 2 pic sixes. Their special teams gave up 2 KO return TDs The KO Return TDs were 100 and 101 yards, both by Ted Ginn Jr, and Jason Taylor returned a fumble 48 yards all in the Dol...

Vrabel is an overrated coach getting fat off a weak schedule just like he did in Tennessee The differences in the schedule between Buffalo and New England is just games. New England gets the Raiders, Titans and Giants while the Bills get the Chiefs, Texans and Eagles. Yes those two games, there is ...

Read up on the word “redskin” and while I learned a few new things, one thing that was never mentioned was that the word referred to war paint. If there’s an objective source (not some team PR nonsense) that suggests otherwise, I’d be glad to stand corrected. Whatever the origin of the word, and wh...
