1992 Cowboys wallop whoever they play. I don't think that the Cowboys would have walloped the Oilers or the Chargers. The Bills were banged up and worn down mentally and physically entering both of those SB's, and they made Dallas look better than they were. Plus either of those other AFC teams doe...

If the Patriots screw up and allow Buffalo to win the division, Maye can forget about winning the MVQB award. Taylor and Smith-Njigba have slowed down as candidates and Jones is trying to play through injury. Could the Packers go on a defensive tear and allow Parsons to enter the conversation? I kn...

The Patriots schedule is so laughably weak is is fooling us into thinking Drake Maye is actually good

That 01 Eagles team was one of the worst team to ever reach a conference championship game. They basically made the playoffs by default because the NFC East was terrible, a with a 5-11 caliber team propped up by smoke and mirrors I thought that in real time. I was shocked that they outhit the Bears...

IMO, in the event or Bills not coming back, whether its at Pittsburgh or home against Houston in the AFCCG, Dolphins don't make the SB in '92; and Cowboys wallop whoever they play. Miami/Pittsburgh/Houston wouldn’t have turned it over 9 times and they wouldn’t have had the mounting pressure of XXV/...

1992

If the Oilers hold onto 35-3, the Dolphins make it to Pasadena

The final team that I'll mention, though, is one who was 6-8 by then, but were actually still in it - that team being Washington in Joe Gibbs' HC debut! Yes, we know the story - and I believe it was mentioned here recently as well as numerous times in the past - lost their first five games and then...

1979 What if Washington beats Dallas in week 16? The Redskins win the East, shoot up to a #1 overall seed, Chicago misses the playoffs, and the Cowboys have to go on the road to Philly for a wild card game against a team they barely escaped 2 weeks earlier at the Vet. Because of the “no divisional r...

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

For me I'm reminded of the 2001 season. I was super hyped for those playoffs all year long because I was sure we would get 2 matchups that I really wanted to see, Oakland vs Pittsburgh in the AFCCG, and Chicago vs St. Louis in NFCCG. Of course the tuck rule and the Eagles messed that up for me. Per...
