Re: TJ vs JJ Watt

Well, little bro just passed big bro in career sacks today. I say that J.J. has the more impressive career though. Multiple DPOYs and better at the "eye test". His freakishly long arms constantly batting down passes was a thing to watch.

Re: Rank all ’90s Super Bowl winners, #1 - #10

I don’t think it was “better” seeing the same teams in the spotlight over and over again. Basically the 49ers and Insert NFC East team here winning all the time got real boring real fast.
I agree.

Re: Matthew Stafford: HOVG, or HOF?

As a 49ers fan I can't find it within myself to root for the Rams or Seahawks and I truly wonder what the NFC West would've looked like had San Francisco not been consumed by injury after injury this season. Full seasons from Bosa and Warner (among others) might've given the division a very differe...

I apologize if the above came off as in any way being a criticism of you, Chris. I've always enjoyed your writing and respected your opinions and I intended no insult. I just don't know how "What If..." does their simulations, what those stats are based on or how that prediction was arriv...

The 49ers won a simulated matchup I ran just now on whatifsports 45-10. :shock: Neutral site at the Superdome.

Re: Notable Halloween NFL Games

I saw a graphic somewhere else today (pro-football-reference newsletter?) with all the all time leaders in various stat categories for 10/31. I was a bit amazed that the all time TD pass leader in Halloween games was Sammy Baugh with 10.

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

I am a fan of the team but there were Native American groups that complained about the name years ago so this narrative about it only being a recent "woke" thing is false. True. The Washington ownership pretended the name wasn't a problem until all their sponsorships, stadium vendors, etc...

Re: Class Of 2026 Modern Preliminary List

Because they reached the final seven for the Class of 2025, nominees Willie Anderson, Torry Holt, Luke Kuechly and Adam Vinatieri automatically advance to the final 15 for the Class of 2026. ^^^ In the fine print beneath the list of preliminary nominees on the HOF's website. Apparently I missed thi...
