I remember that Tony Dorsett was the first to gain 1,000 yardas in his first five seasons, but in the very next season the 1982 strike came and cancelled 7 games, erasing the posiibility for Dorsett to continue the streak and others (like Earl Campbell) to achieving it. I remember the first time so...

1985 Lions - Beat four playoff teams (Dallas, San Francisco, Miami, N.Y. Jets), but only had a 7-9 record. 1985 Cowboys - Had that famous 44-0 loss against Chicago, at Cincinnati scored on them 50 points, but they were able to beat the Redskins and the Giants all 4 times, and won the NFC East, only ...

If you base induction on talent alone, Brown is a slam dunk. However, with all his off-the-field, and personality issues, I can see him not being inducted. There are definitely guys who aren't in based on what they did off-the-field who were really good. As I understand it that would be Jim Tyrer, ...

Which candidate whose at the end of the line are you thinking about Darren Woodson or Richmond Webb. But you never know. Eric Allen was not on my HOF radar last year. My pick would be also Richmond Webb It's interesting that a few years ago Webb didn't even make the preliminary list of more than 10...

It's interesting how the two Prime Time games that were played on Thursday (Raiders-Broncos) and yesterday that finished with the same 10-7 score have different opinions.

The 1990 Vikings - I thought that with Herschel Walker playing the full season and acquiring Cris Carter, the Vikings could get to the NFC Championship game. They had an 6-10 record, even that Walker and Cris Carter played all 16 games, and Anthony Carter gained morev than 1,000 yards receiving.

Recently I had a reunion with school friends and we talked about these two great running backs. And some questions came up (I'm sure they had been discussed in the forum before): 1) Why Herschel Walker wasn't selected in the 1984 NFL Supplemental Draft (like Steve Young and Reggie White, among other...

In 1975 also the Raiders still didn't have John Matuszak, and Dave Rowe wasn't a starter (he came from the Chargers during the season). By 1976, the Raiders moved to the 3-4 defense and Otis Sistrunk replaced Horace Jones at RDE.

That's a good q on if/who holds stickum against him. Lester had a few years were he committed an unreasonable amount of penalties. And that's sort of the problem - I've charted ~20% of his career games and he really is very borderline. Is there another player ever who's reputation is so largely col...
