I think that was @Orange Studs.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

He's younger than me, so get off our lawns!

Wow, didn’t realize anyone on here could be older than @InVOLuntary. Do y’all exchange information about who makes the best dentures, the best walker, etc?

What was it like having to listen to the games on the radio with TVs not being a thing yet?

The cheerleaders wore short skirts, showed a little ankle.

They missed the playoffs, but won 11 games that year with Matt Cassel. To me this hurts the Brady debate.

Thats not even the most glaring. Prior to Mannings injury, the Colts has top 5 offenses. In 2010, I believe they were 4th in scoring. The season Peyton missed they plummeted to 28th.
They went from 10 wins to only 2. Went from winning their division to dead last.

NE also had a top offense before Brady got hurt. But what happened in 2008? They "plummeted" from #1 to #5. The Pats went from 16 wins and #1 in the division to 11 wins and 2nd in the division.

In 2011, 3 Colts QBs combined for 57% completion, 3223 yards, 14 TDs and 14 INTs.

In 2008, Matt Cassell had a 63% completion, 3693 yards, 21 TDs and 11 INTs.

IMO, these are the biggest factors in the debate.

Yeah but he had to take the horse down to the field for that.

GAH volatil'd

Is that you back in the 60s? How did you get in converted from black and white?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

er
I agree I dont think Clemson's lbs and safety's can cover LSU'S slot receivers.

LSUs defense sucks..

Hey @InVOLuntary what was the public comfort when Jack the Ripper was terrorizing London? Did you think he'd cross the ocean in the 3 month journey?

John Ward was a beautiful thing.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I’ll bet you not only do they beat Clemson but that it’ll be by 2-3 touchdowns or more

They could very well do that, but as bad as LSUs defense has been..I don't think it will be that easy, but I wouldn't bet on this game either way.

247 lists Pruitt as his lead recruiter when he was at Bama. Could be something to watch.

Was the player Kirby left campus for during Quay Walker’s official...knowing he had him in the bag.

@InVOLuntary complained about baby boomers when they were kids the way boomers complain about millennials now.

Hey @InVOLuntary , what did you eat when you came across in the Santa Maria? Fish?

 

[InVOLuntary]

All of y'all can go .........

Here’s how I picture the Jerry Jones/Jason Garrett situation playing out...

 

[butchna]

No Bailey, time to panic

Dominic was featured.

Like a couple others I was around for the Montana and Marino years. My heart was broken as a now reformed Bengal fan when Montana to Taylor happened. Marino was just plain awesome, but had similar issues as Peyton did in Indy with the supporting cast being mediocre for the most part. As an even younger guy I saw Unitas and fellow HOF member Sonny Jurgensen. Many forget SJ was at the top in the 60's with both the Skins and Eagles.

The point of all that is there is no one GOAT. There are numerous GOAT's depending on the era.

I agree you simply cannot compare eras. Seems like if you wanted to say most dominant in their era it would have to be Unitas or Baugh.

Cowboys should hire McCarthy. But they will end up hiring a position coach Jerry can push around.

Yep - didn't need to see it to get the picture and be excited.
