BuffaloBillies Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 There was a first time Scorigami this year when the Cards beat the Texans 31-5. That scored had never happened before (understandably) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Darragh Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 When we lost to Cleveland 8-0 a few years ago (painful memories) it was the first 8-0 game since something like 1928 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 And if we played the entire game like we did the 4th quarter, we might have hit a rare score of something like 63-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 2-point conversion until 1994. You would have to try really hard to get to 11 points without a 2-pointer. Then even if you did, 26 isn't exactly a common score either, especially with out a 2-pointer Yes the AFL had the 2 pointer, but considering even with the 2-pointer 26-11 has only happened 3 times in over 7,000 NFL games since 1994, it's not that hard to believe it never happened in 600-700 total AFL games.

How crazy would that be to win with 2 safeties only. 4-4 would be even crazier. Technically, you could have a 1-0 score if you somehow scored a conversion safety. It hasn't been done in the NFL since 1940, but it is possible for both the offense and the defense even today, I think. EDIT: You can only score a conversion safety on an extra point try, so 1-0 is not possible. But 6-1 is possible.

Nextmanup Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I made note that the score was weird at the time time, thinking "good luck" to anyone who actually guessed it correctly in the prediction thread...but I didn't realize it was that rare!

EDIT to my above- I had some time and played with the scorigami thingy. Prior to the 2-point conversion adopted by the NFL in 1994, 11 points was only scored a total of 11 times. Only 2 of those were the result of 2-pointers in the AFL, once each by Oakland and Buffalo - both in 1961. The other instances of 11 points in all those years came from- 3 FG + safety -- 6 times 1 FG + 1 TD (missed XP) + safety -- 2 times 1 TD + XP + 2 safeties -- 1 time 6 minutes ago, MJS said: I guess you are right, but it is possible for a team to score only 1 point, so the score could be 6-1.

Just in Atlanta Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Call me when we have 80-1. I do find it interesting that there was a 0 to 0 score somewhere. Anyone know who? “The last 0-0 game was more than 70 years ago. It was played on 7 November 1943 between the Detroit Lions and New York Giants.” Thanks, Google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it was a different game back then, LOL. I find it interesting that 4 points was ever only scored once in the whole history of the league, when the Racine Legion defeated the Chicago Cardinals 10-4 in 1923.

Those were the somewhat oddly-named offensive 1-pt safety though, which still results in the offense scoring 7 points on a TD. AFAIK the defensive 1-pt safety has never been scored in either college or the NFL because there's only one even remotely plausible way it could happen, although it's still in the rules. And the defensive version is the only way to end a football game with 1 point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the defensive version is the only way to end a football game with 1 point. Yeah the only way it could really happen is if a team did it on purpose. And the only reason I can possibly think of to do that would be if the team was in the final game of the season and needed to win with a point differential of more than the 1 or 2 points would give them a playoff tiebreaker. Say the only way the team could make the playoffs was to win by 4 points, and a touchdown puts them up by 1 point. Rather than go for 1 or 2 and win by 2 or 3 they could take the 1 point safety and give the other team 1 point. That would tie the game and send it to overtime, giving the team a chance to win by more than 4. Of course this scenario would be extremely rare anyway since the point differential is so far down the tiebreaker list. The NFL adopted their current tie breaking procedures in 2002, adding SOV, SOS, offensive and defensive rankings all before getting to point differential - and I don't believe they've ever gotten further than SOV in that time. Before that I think there was an instance of point differential being used in the '70s. So I guess it would take a coach looking to add an oddity to his or a player's resume. Like Bellycheat* letting Doug Flutie kick a drop kick for the first time since the '40s. I do remember seeing a high school team use the above scenario with a regular safety to get his team to OT for that very reason, but I don't remember how they fared in the end.
