Nearly every NFC division dominated AFC. there was a stat i recall from those days. if the NFC won the bowl, the stock market went up next monday. if not, down. it worked but the problem was that the AFC won so few, it was hard to tell whether people just felt good and bought on the monday or if anything else behind it. when i first followed the skins and the NFL, it was a given that the NFC East would win the bowl, with an occasional appearance by the 49ers. i miss those days.

Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly, James Lofton, Darryl Talley, Cornelius Bennet! We were loaded! But looking back - the Giants, Skins, Cowboys all had better teams and it showed. Crazy to think if we won all 4 we'd have to be considered the greatest team of all time. Ugh back to shoveling snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassistheplace Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I love football. I just hope politics doesn't ruin the sport... It's a weird start to a weird season. of course, as a lifelong Falcons fan, it's always weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foursite12 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The high level of injuries have made a huge dent in several rosters. Interesting that in past years we heard that injuries were the result of having 4 exhibition games; now we hear that they are the result of no preseason.

Hoepssa Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Jim Kelly was not the biggest loser in SB era, it was his backup Gale Gilbert, he went to Chargers and getting thrashed, he attended Super Bowl 5 times in 5 years, and won 0. Bills can do something different this year with Diggs, and they recruit some legit defenders with fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice!!! we'd watch pretty much any sport. they would televise the superbowl every year - had to get up about 3am to watch it in those days. when i lived in london, the place had a number of americans so i got to see a bit more and learn about it. then i moved to DC - back at the time of that last great superbowl winning skins team and have followed them as closely as i can ever since. i thought, at the time, that they would always be a serious contender, have great defence, stars like darrell green (still my fave player), a trio of stellar WRs, the best coach and win a heap more superbowls. i could not have been more wrong.

JohnS Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I thought Tom Brady's 5 touchdown passes to come back from behind was quite something today. Also, I didn't mind seeing the passion and enthusiasm from the Bills defense in their victory today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
