It seemed set up for Miami in 1985. They had defeated the undefeated Chicago Bears in the regular season. They would host the New England Patriots in Miami in the AFC Championship Game and they had already defeated the Patriots less than a month earlier on December 16th in Miami 30-27. So it was no...

THIS one is All-Time tops with me...(Lions/Browns '50s second-best)...

To those in here who feel that the bar has been lowered when it comes to getting elected into Canton - which, pretty much, makes just about ALL of us - at what point in time, perhaps a specific Draft class, signified to you that the Hall will no longer be a small one; the standard now lowered?

Two one-and-done 13-3 top-seeds. Who's the better of both?

And yet I couldn't name you one memorable Sunday Night football game without being prodded and reminded of it. Are you the same way? 1983 Raiders-Cowboys, 40-38 shootout 1985 Cowboys-GIants, late Cowboys victory, back and forth game 1985 Steelers-Chargers, 54-44 shootout I actually do remember the ...

Why not talk about odd-man-out Saints in Archie's second season? They finish 2-11-1, tied for their worst season yet at the time (2-11-1 two years prior) but not the worst team in the league that year thanks to Peterson's Oilers. And, technically, not 'second'-worst either being they beat the Eagles...

And yet I couldn't name you one memorable Sunday Night football game without being prodded and reminded of it. Are you the same way? Yes, exactly! I'm really trying to come up with a significant one. ANY one, for the most part! Now I do remember Rams at Dallas in Wk#7, 1981. But that was simply a c...

I didn't know until right now that ATLANTA were all by themselves atop the division with two weeks to go! Van Brocklyn's bunch was 7-5 with the Rams & Forty Niners at 6-5-1 apiece. The Falcons already split with the Rams who, themselves, just won their second game against San Fran; and the Falco...

IMO, the '81 Bengals and '88 Bengals are each better than either the '86 Browns or '87 Browns. '81 Bengals a real 12-4 SB team to me! Not a fluke at all. I guess it should be seen as theory, but I've opined before that the big reason for Cincy's surge that season was just simply how tough their sche...
