You can't say what all you've done and act like it's sone unheard of accomplishment. It's an accomplishment no doubt, but I've worked hard, struggled and bought land /house also. But I'm definitely not going to act like I need a ceremony from another generation. That's not called great. That's just not being a bum.

The greatest generation is a very well known saying, so yes. That's what I called them.

My work ethic is great, yours sounds great also. But for some reason everyone wants to classify people, good or bad, lazy or motivated, into a generation and you can't do that.

Peace. I try not to stereotype age groups, and I for one do not think my generation is better or harder working. There are hard working and lazy people of all ages.

Personally, I think of my parents' generation as Jackie Gleason (Honeymooners) or Archie & Edith Bunker. My stereotypes, I guess. :)

That's what I was afraid of. If KC makes the Super Bowl, I really hope he is able to play

Even if he doesn't play this year, he'll still have surgery to repair the deformity in the offseason and play at a high level the next few years. They were already considering doing it but even a 80% Berry in the playoffs is an upgrade over what they have so they've held off. Anybody thinking he isnt coming back at some point is fooling themselves IMO

Ok..I agree.

I never ever understood that want for “i-formation” and all this stuff. We had all the tools to win a national title on offense and a enough player makers on defense...That year should’ve been like this imo.

Basically use 11 personnel the entire game like the Rams do.

Malone and Jennings outside with kamara in the slot. (Get kamara ~8-10 carries tho)
Croom at TE.

Hurd and Kelly splitting most of the RB touches.

Good luck guarding kamara with a LB/safety or leaving one LB in space if you go dime to tackle Kelly/hurd/dobbs.

Yeah, I would never count Berry out, considering everything he is already came back from. But, I really want to see him play in the Super Bowl, of course if they make it

I hope not but Achilles is maybe the hardest injury to come back from, especially couples with that heel issue he has now. Berry is the 3rd best player to ever play here imo.

I think it had more to do with the 4.3 40, he ran at the combine at his size. Btw, Jamal should already be in the NFL HoF and It's bullsh!t that he's not and Terrell Davis is. A lot better numbers than Davis except for TDs and one less ring

I agree on Jamal, but let’s not poop on Terrell Davis. He was an amazing, hard working talent and it wasn’t his fault he had a genetic knee issue.

I was a big Broncos fan growing up so 97-98 were wonderful times in more than 1 way for me!

I've got a story much like yours. Through the years I have met a handful like us in the younger generations. There's still hope more will figure it out. But it seems to be getting tougher.

Greatest Generation was promoted by Tom Brokaw. My cynical side says it was to make money and stay relevant in media. Many were great in that generation. Their drive to succeed and parenting skills led to the hippie generation and boomers. So I guess it is all in the interpretation and eye of the beholder.

Now that I'm retired I get to live the hippie years I never had, because I had to wear a coat & tie and keep my hair short for my job. I haven't worn a tie in ten years! :)

Agreed, for a couple of years Davis was the best RB in the NFL, although a lot of credit should go to that offensive line and Elway

A lot of people tend to also poo poo Elway at that point in his career, but that is absolute bull crap. Old man had game. Those were some of the overall best teams of all time both offense and defense.

We had:
Dobbs, Hurd, kamara, kelly, Malone, Williams, on the same offense...and basically nothing to show for it.
Click to expand...

Williams had some chances. They forced the ball to him early in a couple of games to keep him interested. He had a huge fumble in the red zone against Arkansas in 2015. Just like at Bama, Kelly had to wait his turn. If people are complaining about Kamara getting so few touches, then you can’t complain about Kelly.
