If only... Does anyone remember the Dream Bowl that ran once or twice on ESPN? They built up the ideal, dream, teams mixing players and coaches from different eras without regard to reality orplaussibility, and simulated the results, allegedly on a computer. The video wizards at NFL films stitched together a weekly game and highlights, ending in a Dream Bowl. It was an interesting flop, IMO. What I recall vividly was that Chuck Noll was coaching on one team while playing tight end, I think, on the other :) Anyway, take any Noll team from 74 to 79, any team at all, and they'd beat the vaunted 85 Bears like a drum :P This space is closed for remodeling |

Owners want offense and will change the rules to ensure that happens. remember the " Bump and Run " defense. Pretty soon a defender will get a penalty for even waving bye-bye at a receiver as he streaks towards the end zone. Buzz Paff |

| thecesspit Member since: Apr 19, 2010 Threads: 38 Posts: 3105 | Whereas a large body of fans want stifling, bone crushing defense. Go figure. I prefer to see a swarming D, with a stupid stretch offense. My dream team would be the Greatest Show on Turf, with Barry Sanders in the backfield, with Early 2000 Ravens on defense.

Owners want Super Bowls rings. They'll do what it takes to get them. Let two or three teams win big on the strength of their defense, and you'll see the fad move the other way. This space is closed for remodeling |

Yes!!! Thanks for reminding me. Let me make a separate thread for this year. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |
