Quite a few notable games considering these two from different conferences as well as not too many years both being good at the same time. The most notable of them all, of course, is fiction - both playing in the Super Bowl, 'Ace Ventura, Pet Detective', Dan - as himself - being kidnapped during the...

Not just because of my forever-affinity I have for my '89 Steelers, but I think Chuck Noll should have won COY in the AP poll as well and any other 'legit' poll! 'Just' Maxwell is 'just' not right! Lindy? Yes, a great job! But for '2nd'-place that season? I would go with Schottenheimer instead, usin...

I think you're (@74_75_78_79_) selling Miami a little short here. They benefited from discipline (Shula teams always did), but that roster had more going for it than just “lack of penalties.” Arnsparger’s defensive mind, the Killer B’s, and on the other side when Woodley struggled, they had Strock ...

You have one right now with the Chiefs and Florida Panthers. Chiefs won back-to-back, lost in 3rd straight SB appearance, then missed the playoffs. Panthers lost in SCF, won back-to-back, and are [likely] going to miss the playoffs. So 3 straight championship appearances, won two in a row and lost ...

Starting example - both the Steelers & Philadelphia Flyers ('Broad St Bullies') win their first ever respective league titles in '74 & '75. Then in '76 the Steelers lose the AFCCG. Bleier & Harris, of course, out for that game. Yes, Flyers took it one step further and advanced to the Sta...

It seems like Marino or Elway get a little more kudos than their also=HOFer '83 counterpart.

What would be reasons for placing Jim above both instead?

Three-way race for first to the very end with all three making the playoffs, and the two 'Toilet Bowl'-participants rounding things out! That Pats squad, though getting swept by the Colts, has to be the best 2-win team ever. Consecutive winning seasons to the left of that campaign (Fairbanks/Ehrhard...

Interested in what your opinions are on who you think is better, and why, between these 2x Lombardi-winning QBs?

The year after SBX, the year before Dorsett/Big D's second and last World Championship under Tom Landry. They didn't make it to the conference championship game. They barely lost to the Rams at home in a defensive struggle, 14-12, in the divisional round. I either forgot about it or never knew it to...

After, practically, three decades of bad Super Bowl games to start off with, we’ve been pretty ‘spoiled’ since SBXXX. Two more good SB games would follow from there, making it three in a row. From there we had bombs like Den/Atl, Balt/NYG, and TB/Oak but each one sandwiched by good games. There woul...
