1977 or 78: Don Calhoun, Ike Forte, Horace Ivory, Sam Cunningham, Andy Johnson, et al. GREAT rushing team. Broke some records if I recall. Of course that was back when the running game was king all around the league. And yes, I'm old.

Steve Nelson --- great middle linebacker, tough as nails. And Mack Herron, something like 5'5'' but incredibly exciting kick returner and RB.

Dont post much, but feel like this is a worthy moment... I've been a Boston sports fan since the 1960's (Pats, Celtics, Sox, Bruins) and I've gone through many seasons, some up, some down, followed many players, lived and died with different teams, and if I step back and look at the big picture...

Sadly, I think that hit is probably a penalty in today's game...

Not saying it was the most impactful, or most important, but for me I'm glad that the OP included the Brady to Branch bomb in the 2004 AFCCG. Its sort of hard to imagine now, but at that time we were underdogs to the Steelers, both in the actual game, but also in terms of overall NFL history...

Jags wont win out -- they have to contend with Jimmy G, 12/24 at San Francisco!

The first play that came to my mind was the Troy Brown / Antwan Harris blocked FG return for TD in the 2001 AFCCG. For more recent fans its hard to understand where we as a fan base were then. We had not ever won anything, had suffered through many horrific years (1-15 anyone?), and were...

That Windsor play was unbelievable. What is more, I think that was the last play of his career --- he tore his knee to get the win and that was it for him.

Fan since '71. Earliest memories were of Plunkett and Vataha, and shortly afterwards those strong 70's teams with Haynes, Francis, Hannah, Grogan and Cunningham. And dont forget Mini Mack Herron who gave us a lot of excitement in some middling years.

I've known he's an idiot from the first time I read his column title " Ten Things I Think I Think." This implies that he's not even sure of what he thinks --- and it gives him a out for any opinion he states --- namely "Well, its not what I think, its only what I think I think." Really...

Back in the mid 70's, he was amazing. An electrifying return man, and decent running back, and all that while only 5'5''. His lack of height in fact accentuated his dynamism and he was a spark on a few not very good Patriots squads. He was my first favorite Patriot, and is much...

I tuned into Game 4 last night and I was surprised how much I enjoyed their 8th inning collapse --- especially seeing those Mets fans doing that "rolling their arms" thing behind home plate, just as they did in '86. Brought back some memories and anger that I had supressed, I think.

Sorry, missed that original thread, maybe a sticky on this would be good given the increasing amounts of misinformed crap we are all getting...

Yeah there is a lot of detail there. For a high level summary, they give a score of how bad each teams cumulative infractions have been. Top 3 (i.e. worst) Broncos: 48 Jets: 44 Steelers: 40 Bottom 3 (i.e. best) Jags:12 Chiefs:12 Rams: 14 Patriots are at 20

Cant say I have looked through all the details on this site, but it does provide some good ammunition against those that claim the Patriots "cheat" above all other teams. There are details of infractions for all 32 NFL franchises through history, and the Broncos and Jets are rated the top...
