John asks…

Are the Colts the biggest underachievers in the history of the NFL?

7 straight playoff appearances.
6 straight 12+ win seasons.
2 conference championships appearances.
And only 1 super bowl title to show for their success.

The Bills 4 straight super bowl appearances don't count because at least they got to the super bowl.

I look also at the Cowboys. The so called chemistry that Jerry Jones failed to create. All the hype, all the publicity, all the guarantees, have fallen by the wayside.

I really wouldn't call the Colts the the biggest, but the expectations that were given to the Colts has definitely fallen short. Probably why the picks and the predictions should be taken with a grain of salt.

And THANK YOU! For not bashing my Bills... While we missed winning the Big One, the core players from that era, Kelly, Thomas, and the coach, Levy have all made it into the Hall. Look for Bruce, Andre and (my favorite) Tasker to get recognized this year!

Just like Manning is a definate shoo-in as well.

Donald asks…

Best/Worst dynasty in NFL history?

Choose between:

A) 60s PACKERS (2 SBs+3 additional NFL Championship victories, lost 1 NFL Championsihp game, 6/10 playoff appearance)

B) 70s STEELERS (4 SBs, 6 conference championship appearances, 8/10 playoff appearance)

C) 70s COWBOYS <66-82> (2 SBs (+2 losses), lost 2 NFL championship games, 12 conference championship appearances, 16/17 playoff seasons)

D) 80s-90s 49ERS (5 SBs, 10 conference championship appearance, 16/20 playoff season)

E) 80s REDSKINS <80-91> (3 SBs, 5 conference championship appearance, 7/12 playoff season)

F) 90s Cowboys (3 SBs, 4 conference championship appearance, 8/10 playoff season)

G) 00s Patriots (3 SBs (+1 loss), 5 conference championship appearance, 7/10 playoff season)

H) Anything else (probably 70s Dolphins, late 70s-early 80s Raiders or 00s Steelers? Or maybe even 90s Bills)
Lions never was a dynasty...

admin answers:

If the 49ers dynasty was limited to the time Joe Montana was their quarterback, they'd be my choice for best dynasty. Add the Steve Young years to that, and I have to knock them below the '70s Steelers.

If the Bills of the '90s were a dynasty, they're my choice for worst. If they aren't, then I have to go with either of the 2 Cowboys' dynasties here (probably the '70s version, since my primary reason for considering the '90s version is because I hated 40-50 players on it, including Troy Aikman).

Sandy asks…

What was the most lopsided division vs division series in NFL history?

In the modern 32-team NFL, each division plays all teams in one conference division, and all teams in one opposing conference division. There are 16 games in each division vs division series. Has any division ever swept another division 16-0, or what is the most lopsided that the matchup has ever been?

My guess would be that a 16-0 sweep by a division would be even more unlikely than an undefeated regular season record by a single team, which has only happened once in the 32-team league and only twice ever, simply because there is generally more variation in quality within divisions than among a team's performance week to week in a season. I would also guess that 15-1 or 14-2 would be less likely than the corresponding single-team season records.

The current matchup between the NFC East and the NFC West is the most unbalanced in recent memory, though. I could see an NFC East team in 4th place with 9 or 10 wins and the NFC West winner making it in with 7 or 8, since NFC East also plays AFC North (worst in the AFC, just one contender) and NFC West also plays AFC East (currently best AFC record, all except Pats improved). Still, I'd like to hear if anyone has the records on whether there were any even more lopsided in the past.

admin answers:

I don't know, but it will be interesting to see if any NFC east teams lose to the NFC west. Cardinals could pull off a win possibly, and the skins never play good in Seattle, so we'll see.
