And then Raymond 'Room Temperature IQ' Berry replaced him with Tony 'She Wears a Skirt' Eason.I was a kindergartener in 1976 so I do not have real-life appreciation of this team but looking up and down the roster they were freaking loaded.
What I do know is w/o Grogs they do not go to the 1985 SB or win the division the following year.

That was a very good offensive team Grogan, Stingley, Cunningham, Francis, Andy Johnson, Hannah, Leon Gray, etc.
Defensively they were decent as well Nelson, Julius Adams, Hamilton, Haynes, Fox etc.
It was a different game then; Grogan only threw 300 passes with a 48% completed, they rushed for about 600 times.. so the game was quite different. Grogan rushed 60 times and scored 12 TD's... he was a tough bastard.
Can someone fix the title? It's driving me crazy!
And in 1978 NE set the still-standing NFL single-season rushing record with 3165 yd. The main rushers were:
Sam Cunningham- 768, 8 TD
Horace Ivory - 693, 11 TD
Andy Johnson - 675, 3 TD
Steve Grogan - 539, 5 TD
Don Calhoun - 391, 1 TD
(They also had 2800 net passing yards.)
