NFL Network is replaying the very first Monday Night Football game, between the Browns and Jets in 1970, for those of you curious about the dark ages of NFL offenses.

The Browns kinda ran a pick play for a touchdown, so it’s already better than the visual diarrhea that was Super Bowl LIII.

EDIT: The Browns also have a dude with an awesome football name: Fair Hooker.

I assume the receiver was supposed to be running an out, and would have gotten an easy first down. I mean, look at it again, he's blocking for literally no one.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
This is going to sound really wanky but gently caress it


Watching Cam basically say he's gonna retire made me realise how significant that Eagles super bowl win was. Unless you are the Pats, its really difficult to get back to the SB so it's really important to take that opportunity. It requires so many loving things to go right and we've seen so many good teams fall off a loving cliff after losing

That Panthers team was probably the all round best that year but hosed it in the big game and now are in a really bad state and havnt looked like making it back since.

The Falcons flubbed a huge lead and then got the perennial playoff yips since

Even after the Eagles win they had a poo poo season last season and probably shouldn't have got to the playoffs.

It will be interesting to see how the Rams go this season.

Oh, absolutely. This is a major reason why I've stopped caring about that goal line interception to end XLIX. The Seahawks won the year before, and winning a Super Bowl is incredibly loving hard! You need so much luck to even get there, no matter how good you are. It's awesome that we even got the one. If you require a championship to be happy about your team you're almost always going to be disappointed. Enjoy the ride.

Or if you're Kawalimus your team can have multiple championships and just smashed a team by 40+ points and still be disappointed

Short answer: Yes, it’d be unheard of.

The only times they’ve rearranged the divisions in any meaningful ways have involved expansion. They redid a lot of the divisions at the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, but still tried to keep the rivalries that had developed intact, which is why the core of divisions like the NFC East and AFC West remain as they are. The Bucs and Seahawks started out in alternate conferences (AFC and NFC respectively), but that was always a temporary deal for one season so they could play all the other teams in the league. After that, no team was moved to a new division until the realignment in 2002 when the league hit 32 teams and the divisions took their current forms.

The AFC East as it is now is as much due to the Dolphins, Jets, and Bills being largely incompetent at varying levels for the last 15+ years as it is for the Patriots being good cheating.

Seattle was so bad they had to kick them out of the good conference.

There was a thread or something a while back about realigning the divisions using proximity. Florida basically had their own division, as did California. Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta in a division.....something like that.

Most seasons the AFCE is :mediocre:, not terrible on a Brownsian scale. There are a shitload of 7-9 to 9-7 seasons in there for the Bills, Jets and Dolphins, with the odd 10-6 or 11-5 to give everybody a nice shock.

2019 is shaping up to be incredibad though.
