mushypeaches Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The first football game I ever attended was Super Bowl XXI in Pasadena. I gladly rooted for the underdog Broncos even though they didn't have much going for them besides John Elway. Dan Reeves was a class act and a reminder of a bygone era of professional, solid, no-nonsense coaches who didn't need sound bites and BS to motivate their teams. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Damn man....First Madden, now Reeves...who is the third one gonna be?? These things always seem to happen in three's...there is a logical choice because he is way up there in years, but I don't want to say it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Funny I remember seeing Reeves on the Denver sidelines dressed in a suit and thinking he was sooooo old. It turned out he was in his early to mid 40’s😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Cool thing about Reeves was his NFCCG upset against 15-1 Minnesota, when everyone had the Vikings penciled in to play Denver in the Super Bowl. Minnesota probably had a good chance to win too. Unfortunately, the other part of Reeves legacy is a coach whose teams got outclassed in the Super Bowl three times. If Reeves wins one Super Bowl, he’s an easy HOF’er IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Just after the anniversary of the Ice Bowl, in which he threw a TD pass. RIP, Coach, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Reeves wins one Super Bowl, he’s an easy HOF’er IMO I think he deserves to be in anyway. He got Denver there 3 times and then Atlanta years later, and in the middle took the Giants to the playoffs. Levy is in with 4 losses so I don't see why Reeves wouldn't be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways its been a a bad month for NFL HOF deaths. Two HOF players passed away recently as well, Claude Humphrey( age 77) and Curley Culp (age 75). Also of course Bucs WR Vincent Jackson dying at a young age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Dan Reeves. I was in the check out at the grocery store and one of the gossip magazines had a Betty White at 100 cover. The lady in front in front of me said “nope, she died a couple hours ago”. A strange percentage of my family members lost were right around the holidays. Our first year in FL my wife flew up to see her father in the hospital on Christmas Eve. He was pretty out of it, but he kept saying “I can’t do it, I can’t do it”. She finally got him to explain that he couldn’t die on Christmas and forever taint the day. He made it until 12/29. RIP, Dan Reeves. A huge name in the sport, and so much more. . Edited January 1, 2022 by Augie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Go Buffalo Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 That's more sad news. Another Legend of the Sport, and a great human being gone. My prayers go out for his family. RIP Mr. Reeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Always thought he was a highly under rated coach. Admired him greatly. RIP Mr Reeves The great ones are leaving us en masse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
