Good job on Cambell not kicking the FG earlier. LOL.

Time out? They will need that to stop SF on the next series.

Sorry... complete brain fart by me. I was distracted at the gym for a while and thought the game was already finished.

The first 30 picks are now locked in.

All the tin-foil hatters can now put the hats away until next season:

KC at Buffalo was the real Super Bowl.

What's "Tier S"? Sensational?

I officially switch places for Lamar and Josh.

Lamar: MVP...MVP...MVP!

Fire Frazier!

What is the f'in need to spill your guts on social media (and then delete it)? Social media seems to cause more problems than not, unless you use it for marketing or spread good info. Just stop.

Flogs! Wow, nice. Definitely Australian (or British) English. You never hear that term in the US. 😄

Ok, on second thought, your post has convinced me KC needs to beat Baltimore today and the NFC team in the SB in blowout fashion, thus proving the Bills were easiky the second best team this year and could have won it if they had beaten KC.

Confused by your post.

Nice story! He deserved that for picking the Giants! Heck a dollar was a lot back then. I remember an old lady in her 80's giving me a nickel tip every week in the 80's on my newspaper delivery route. I was grateful...sort of, lol. The biggest tippers gave me $0.50 each week. But a nickel was enough back then to buy two pretzel sticks from a jar at the local convenience store. The only bet I ever heard of as a kid was when my friend bet my baseball coach $5 that the Islanders would beat the Oilers for the Stanley Cup in 1983. He was right, and my coach paid up.

Notice Cornelius Bennet and Ray Bentley were the backup P and K, respectively.

This. There are only six franchises besides us which have been around since the SB era begun in 1966 that have never won a SB: Minnesota Detroit Arizona/St. Louis Atlanta LA Chargers/San Diego Tennessee/Houston Cleveland doesn't count, no matter what the NFL officially decrees, since they won two after they moved to Baltimore. They are effectively an expansion team. Other expansion teams which haven't won one: Carolina, Jacksonville, Houston, Cincinnati.

What?! 1974: Buffalo lost to Pittsburgh in the divisionals then Pittsburgh won their first SB ever against Minnesota! 😅

I had said before I wanted Detroit to win, but, I don't want them to win on their first try. It doesn't seem right. You have to earn that. KC and Baltimore each lost their first time. (SF did win their first.) But SF already has five, KC has three, and Baltimore has three. So I really don't care. F all of them.

Well, today was the 33rd anniversary of the infamous "Wide Right". I realize it's a sore subject for many, and I hesitate to bring it up, but I just came across some videos from the game, and I watched in awe. Especially how people have aged (I put a screenshot of the young Belichick below) and the styles back then. Jim Kelly in a mullet, Lawrence Taylor with one dangling earring, etc. The 80's and early 90's were a weird, but fun time for those who lived through it. The video clips brought back a ton of memories. I remember how Buffalo had destroyed everyone that year. Jim, Thurman, and Bruce were dominant. The opening of the ABC telecast with Hank Williams, Jr. also brought back chills. A few things I learned today: 1. The 47-yarder was Norwood's longest attempt ever on grass. 2. For the SB, the Giants constructed an entirely-new defense, playing two versions of dime. Belichick had just two down lineman and they let Thomas do whatever he wanted to do. They knew there was no way to stop him. This was weird for them, since they had never allowed a running back to do that. BB said the strategy was to put as much speed on the D, take the crossing and inside routes away, knock the balls loose, and be as physical as they possibly could be with the WR's. 3. On offense, they had a backup QB playing, and no one had ever won a SB with a backup. So they wanted to slow the game down as much as possible and shorten the game. 4. Still, their plan almost failed due to the talent disparity. The Bills lost it by just three feet. Norwood had the leg strength, but just not the accuracy this time. 9. Someone said in the comments to one of the tweets, that 9 out of 10 times, the Giants' strategy would have failed. They got lucky that one time. BB, Parcells, LT, Pepper Johnson, and some unknown old Giants executive or coach (Earhardt???) outlined the strategy: Screenshots from the clips, which showed the 90's: Full game:

I, for one, was not happy when we signed Von, due to the size of his contract plus his age. I wondered at the time how many good years did he have left. I hoped I would be wrong...

They won't after they re-sign Jones and Sneed:
