FEMUR

10 players in NFL Films' top 100 players of all time
*7 1st ballot HOFers, 19 total (of 21 eligible).
26 Super Bowl wins/39 total NFL Championships
15 all decades teams.


QB - Johnny Unitas - 10x Pro Bowler/5x All Pro/3x MVP. Regarded by some as the GOAT, especially before 1980. One of the few QBs who played back then who could excel in today's NFL. All decade team 60s. #6 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. 1st ballot HOFer. 1 Super Bowl win, 3 total NFL Championships.

RB - Terrell Davis - 3x Pro Bowler/3x All Pro/MVP/2x OPOY. Injuries cut his career short and yet he has still been a HOF finalist a few times. The 4th of 7 men to ever rush for over 2,000 yards. 2 Super Bowl wins.

FB - Daryl Johnston - 2x Pro Bowler - The lead blocker for the NFL All Time Rushing leader, Emmitt Smith. 3 Super Bowl wins.

WR - Paul Warfield - 8x Pro Bowler/2x All Pro. Hall of Fame career while mostly playing for the Browns... now that is saying something. #71 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. 1st ballot HOFer. 2 Super Bowl wins, 3 total NFL championships.

WR - Andre Johnson - 7x Pro Bowler/2x All Pro. Played most of his career without a viable QB option and still put up great to elite numbers. Not HOF eligible yet, but I have a feeling he will wear a gold jacket.

TE - Iron Mike Ditka - 5x Pro Bowler/2x All Pro. One tough SOB. Put up solid numbers way before they knew how to use the TE. All decades team 60s. #59 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. HOFer. 1 Super Bowl win, 2 total NFL Championships.

LT - Art Shell - 8x Pro Bowler/2x All Pro. Widely regarded as one of the greatest OL to ever play. All decades team 70s. #76 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. HOFer. 2 Super Bowl wins.

LG - Randall McDaniel - 12x Pro Bowler/7x All Pro. One of the greatest guards of all time. All decades team 90s. HOFer.

C -Jim Langer - 6x Pro Bowl/4x All Pro. Centered the line for the only undefeated team in the Super Bowl era. All decades team 70s. 1st ballot HOFer. 2 Super Bowl wins.

RG - Tom Mack - 11x Pro Bowler/1x All Pro. Anchored the Rams rushing attack during their Super Bowl runs in the 70s. HOFer.

RT - Forrest Gregg - 9x Pro Bowler/7x All Pro. Vince Lombardi said he was the greatest player he has ever coached. All decades team 60s. #54 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. 1st ballot HOFer. 2 Super Bowl wins, 5 total NFL Championships.

DE - Michael Strahan - 7x Pro Bowler/4x All Pro/1x DPOY. Holds record for most sacks in a season and #5 on all time career list. All decades team 00s. #99 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. HOFer. 1 Super Bowl win.

DT - Cortez Kennedy - 8x Pro Bowler/3x All Pro/1x DPOY. All decade team 90s. A beast of a DT. HOFer.

DT - Dan Hampton - 4x Pro Bowler/1x All Pro. Versatile player who lined up at DT and DE for arguably the greatest defense of all time. All decades team 80s. HOFer. 1 Super Bowl win.

DE - Lee Roy Selmon - 6x Pro Bowler/1x All Pro/1x DPOY. Hidden on a dismal Bucs team as they just entered the league. Still regarded by most as the best player in franchise history. #98 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. HOFer.

LB - Dave Wilcox - 7x Pro Bowler/2x All Pro. Nicknamed "The Intimidator". Not a bad nickname for a linebacker. HOFer.

LB - Dick Butkus - 8x Pro Bowler/5x All Pro. Widely regarded as the GOAT MLB. All decades team for the 60s and 70s. #10 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. 1st ballot HOFer.

LB - Derrick Thomas - 9x Pro Bowler/2x All Pro. One of the most feared pass rushers in NFL History. Had he not died in a car accident, we might be debating who was better between him and Lawrence Taylor. Holds NFL record for most sacks in a game with 7... Poor Dave Krieg. All decades team 90s. HOFer.

CB - Mel Blount - 5x Pro Bowler/2x All Pro/1x DPOY. Very physical corner for one of the greatest defenses in NFL history. All decades team 70s. #44 on NFL Films' top 100 players of all time. 1st ballot HOFer. 4 Super Bowl wins.

CB - Herb Adderley - 5x Pro Bowler/4x All Pro. Lockdown corner and dangerous return man. Returned 3 picks for TDs in one season. All decades team 60s. #64 on NFL Films' Top 100 players of all time. HOFer. 3 Super Bowl wins/6 total NFL Championships.

SS -Willie Wood - 8x Pro Bowler/5x All Pro. Holds the record for most consecutive starts by a Safety. All decades team 60s. HOFer. 2 Super Bowl wins/5 total NFL Championships

FS - Larry Wilson - 8x Pro Bowler/5x All Pro. One of the original ball-hawking safeties. All decades team 60s. 1st Ballot HOFer.



* 1 more 1st ballot HOFer would have been added to this list, but NOS talked me into drafting Terrell Davis even though I had Gale Sayers. He claims you guys will like TD more than Sayers. I guess we will find out.

I got myself winning. I could also write a novel but nos would critic my grammer (spelled wrong on purpose nos) My defense has the #1 Bruce Smith, #3 Kevin Greene, and #9 Julius Peppers All Time Sack Leaders on it and I feel Unitas would be having some trouble all game. My offense can throw it with Manning or run it with AP and it would be tough to stop.

 

[Mebert]

Ritz bits sandwhiches

 

[wlk3]

Ritzy has the advantage by formation to start off and I don't see where he can make up that difference... Bad matchup, I got Ritz in a close one...

I new the first vote was a fluke. LOL. Femur does have a good team though and it would be a great game to watch.

Ritzy in a close one

 

[Nosferatu]

Great teams obviously. Femur's offensive line is crazy good! His secondary is also amazing. Femur wins on a late fumble by AD.
