  1. Those 70's Raiders were friggin' fantastic. I'd love to see how many minutes everyone's favorite GOAT/whiner boy would have lasted against them. My guess would be less than 30.
  2. What kind of stupid stat pretzel is 17.1 yards per catch on 62 targets?? so if he made 10 catches for 171 yards on 62 targets.... I know he was better than that, but you've got to be lit to draw a conclusion by putting those 2 stats together.
  3. On the 'statue' thing, Marino was no Deadsloe: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/11/12/remembering-dan-marinos-incredible-streak-of-759-passes-without-a-sack/ " Dan Marino owns the NFL record for consecutive games and consecutive passes without a sack, and no other quarterback before or since has ever even been in the same ballpark. Marino got sacked on September 25, 1988 in Indianapolis. He then played 19 consecutive games without getting sacked. He wasn’t sacked again until October 29, 1989 in Buffalo. Between sacks, he threw an incredible 759 passes. To throw 759 passes without getting sacked is such an insane record that it looks like a typo. The team that has allowed the fewest sacks this year is the Saints, and Drew Brees has been sacked nine times while throwing 304 passes. Marino threw two and a half times that many passes and wasn’t sacked even once. Marino was well known for his quick release during his time as the Dolphins’ quarterback, and he could get the ball out so quickly that opposing defenses never stood a chance. For 19 straight games, no one could bring him down." Can we please stop anointing every current player the greatest, please...
  4. It's the 'not really close' part I was commenting on. There's a lot of 'greatest ever' type commentary proclaimed about current players-it's out of whack with faded memories or no memory at all about just how amazing past players were. The league was not scattered with, 'pretty good' players until just recently, it has had a bunch of amazing players, who played in a much grittier league to boot. Don't get me wrong, I frickin hate Marino haha, and there may have been better overall quarterbacks, but as a passer, it's hard to put anyone 'way' ahead of him. He definitely lacked running ability, but his short-area awareness, quickness, and release made him nearly unsackable- check out the numbers.
  5. The greatest 'passer' in NFL history, to me, is Marino. Deadly at every range, lightning release, and almost never took a sack in the age of the 7-step drop. Mahomes is up there, though.
  6. He lost the popular vote in 2016, by a mile, and he's never disputed that election- just his meager election ceremony turnout. The Trump cult has its head so squarely up its own ass it appears to be a head.
  7. Because sometimes you have to show strength when presented with the option for a desperate move. 'Going for it' tells the opposing team we have to take every chance we have to keep up with you. A normal football team takes the points and lives to fight another series, a desperate team takes those chances.
  8. Totally. Doesn't matter how much gold-plating you cover it with. I think some'll be learning the definitions of libel, slander and defamation soon... Of course she did- wonder how much that cost Mrs. Conway... And just how thoroughly twisted do you have to be to keep topless photos of your own daughter on your electronics. Don't answer that, it's beyond calculation
  9. https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Kellyanne-Conway-Accused-of-Posting-Topless-Photo-15898401.php It's like living through a never-ending Jerry Springer Show...
  10. Keep the talent and regroup. We got out-coached by Andy Reid. Get a breakout threat at running back, TE, and rework defensive personnel. Not saying there can't be a better cost/youth concept than Brown going forward, but he was definitely part of the reason we made the AFC Championship game.
  11. Granted I don't remember much about the 70's games, but I did live through the Lakers-Kings rivalry where the Lakers beat them 43 straight times. That was a rivalry for the ages...
  12. We had zero pressure, and our guys were blanketed. We got out-coached.
  13. What, by never beating the other team? That's how one-sided rivalries are born.
  14. 'Finally' is a bit tough to pin on a 24 year-old, but as Sick Boy pointed out in Trainspotting, 'Sure, you kept on listening to Lou Reed, but deep down inside you knew all of his later stuff... was just shite.' #JoshAllenPeakedAt23and7/8ths
  15. Looks like 2 of you have your brain cell jump-started today.
  16. Probably new to the saying. I think in England it goes 'tooth crossed.'
  17. Dunno, but he was a helluva lot better RB than Emmit freakin Smith.
  18. Bet both sides and cheer for a close game.
  19. More of a Bills Inquisition fan, myself.
  20. Ha. My name's so long, the dots look like character replacements. Thanks
