6 QB’s Blanda, Unitas (nice job Steelers) Namath, Montana, Marino & Kelly

Unitas (nice job Steelers)

Lol, imagine what could have been.

It’s a guess to say that the same things would’ve transpired in the 70s if you had Unitas up until that point but what a decades long dynasty that could’ve shaped up to be.

The Steelers also had and cut Len Dawson as I recall.

The 2 coaches in the Ice Bowl both worked as assistant coaches together at an NFL team before taking the head coaching jobs at Green Bay and Dallas. Lombardi and Landry were both coordinators for that team. Which of them was the offensive and defensive coordinator and which NFL team did they work for before moving on to Green Bay and Dallas?

 

[Moab]

The above should be fairly easy, so I'll give you a more difficult one.

The 1985 Bears have been regarded as one of, if not the best defense in NFL history. That stated, they had 2 starters from the 1984 season hold out for the entire 1985 season in a contract dispute. Who were those 2 players?

I might have one.

Name the only offensive lineman to be named to the pro bowl each of his first ten seasons.

Munoz?

The Giants.. Lombardi was the OC & Landry the DC.

 

[Wamu]

Munoz?

Nope.

 

[Wazmankg]

Nope.

Thought I had that right for sure, but he didn't make it his rookie season.

Hampton & McMichael.. just a guess.. no idea really.

 

[Moab]

Nope.

Joe Thomas?

 

[Moab]

Hampton & McMichael.. just a guess.. no idea really.

No, they both played.

Here is a hint, one was a OLB and the other a safety. I believe Duerson and Wilson were their replacements.

 

[Moab]

The Giants.. Lombardi was the OC & Landry the DC.

Correct. Both of them thought they were in line as the next HC for the Giants but saw the writing on the wall and left. The rest is history

 

[Wazmankg]

Well this was wrong and nobody who wasn't a Bears fan back then will get it without looking it up.

 

[Wazmankg]

I looked it up and have to admit that neither of those names rings a bell.

To be totally fair the only reason I know it is I re-watched the Bears/Giants 85 divisional playoff game and it was mentioned on there.

There are a few old games I'd like to rewatch but can't find on youtube. The 86 NFC Championship game Redskins/Giants and 96 Panthers/Packers. I can find highlights, but not the full games. There are some really good physical football games from the 80's and 90's that are uploaded, but those 2 specifically I can't find. 2 of the very good games where they beat the hell out of each other are the 83 49ers/Redskins and 95 Cowboys/49ers. The non-playoff game that is just unreal is the 85 Raiders/Bears. I'm pretty sure the hot tubs got wore out after that game and ice was in short supply. It was brutal.

Who was the first wild card team to win the Superbowl, what team did they beat and what year?

The Raiders > the Skins? 82.. or was it 83
