First Round

(8) 1992 vs. (1) 2004

TO has been talking and says he is ready to lead this team to victory. The 1992 team ie led by Randall Cunningham and hs is looking to take down each of Donovan's teams one game at a time.

After forcing a punt to open the game the 1992 team drives to field goal range but a missed field goal leaves the game scoreless. McNabb drives his team to the 16 on the ensuing drive and Akers gets them on the board with a field goal. After the 1st quarter the score is 2004-3 1992-0.

Cunningham leads the team to the 17 for a field goal to tie the game early in the second. Three plays later a Westbrook fumble sets the 1992 Eagles up at midfield. 4 plays later Hershell Walker takes a handoff and breaks free for a 25 yard touchdown to give 1992 a 10-3 lead. McNabb hits a few passed and leads 2004 the 26 but the drive stalls and Akers misses the fied goals to keep it 10-3. With under 2 minutes left 1992 tries a draw on a 3rd and long and Walker bulls through the defense for a 39 yard touchdown. At the half an upset is brewing as it is 17-3 in favor of the 8 seed.

1992 gets the ball to start the second half and they go on a 5 play drive that chew up almost 9 minutes and it ends in a field goal to make it 20-3. Three plays later on a 3rd down McNabb is picked off in his own territory. 1992 adds a field goal to make it 23-3 going into the final quarter.

Neither team can sustain a drive in the 4th and the scoring is capped when Clyde Simmons sacks McNabb in the end zone for a safety. 1992 has upset 2004 by a score of 25-3 and they advance.

Hershell Walker is named the player of the game as he carried the ball 23 times for 154 yards with 2 touchdowns.

(7) 2000 vs. (2) 1980

Jaworski versus McNabb as McNabb tries for an upset of his own (after seeing 2004 go down in flames).

This game isn't even close. Jaworski looks sharp and McNabb looks out of sorts. 1980 wins big 38-7. Jaworski goes 17 of 24 for 237 yards with 4 touchdowns. McNabb manages only 6 completions in 23 attempts and is picked off once. Jaworski is named the player of the game.

(6) 2001 vs. (3) 2003

McNabb versus McNabb, he is guaranteed a victory in this one. Similar teams going head to head. One of the biggest differences if Staley in 2001 versus Westbrook in 2003.

In the 1st quarter 2003 strikes first as McNabb hits Pinkston in the endzone for th first touchdown of teh game to make it 7-0 in favor of 2003. 2001 answers on the next drive as they go 72 yards and cap it with Staley powering his way in from the 2. The game is tied 77 after the 1st quarter.

2003 carries over a drive from the end of the 1st quarter into the second and caps it with a 17 yard run by Westcrook to make it 14-7. After forcing 2001 to punt the 2003 Eagles drive for a field goal to make it 17-7 and it looks like they are taking over this game. The 2001 Eagles manage a late fied goal to keep themselves in it as it is 2003 - 17 2001 - 10 at the half.

In the third, after holding 2003 to a three and out to start the half the 2001 team goes 73 yards in a long and mthodical drive. The drive ends with a 1 yard plunge over the the goal by Cecil Martin to tie the game 17-17 which is how the quarter ends.

A 40 yard field goal by the 2001 team gives them a 23-20 lead with just under 13 minutes left in the game. The 200 team counters with a field goal of their own to tie the game 23-23 with just over 7 minuts left. The 2001 Eagles go on a 79 yard drive that ends with Buckhalter scoring on a three yard sweep. Akers misses the extra point and the score is 29-23 in favor of the 2001 Eagles with a mintue and a half remaining. McNabb leads the 2003 Eagles down the field to the 2001 14 yard line. The final snap is taken with jus 5 second left. McNabb is back, no one is open, he moves in the pocket... He is hit by Douglas and goes down for the sack. 2001 wins 29-23.

Staley is the player of the game as he ran for 117 yards and a touchdown and had 3 receptions.

(5) 2009 vs. (4) 2002

Another McNabb versus McNabb battle. 2009 is much better stocked with receivers but 2002 has a better defense and a younger McNabb.

The game is an easy 22-3 victory for the younger McNabb as 2002 rolls to victory. The younger McNabb is given the player of the game though Staley could have just as easily won as he had over a hundred yards on the ground as they controlled the clock.

2nd round

(8) 1992 vs. (4) 2002

Another Cunningham versus cNabb matchup. This one starts out with 1992 taking the lead and not looking back. 2002 makes it closer late but that is only for show as 1992 wins 24-14. Hershell Walker runs through the 2002 defense and is named the player of the game as he runs for 126 yards and a touchdown.

(6) 2001 vs. (2) 1980

McNabb's last chance and it't a tough game against Jawosrki and the 1980 team.

1980 continues to look strong as they dominate and send McNabb packing 30-9. Montgomery is named player of the game as he has over 160 yards of offense and a touchdown reception. Jaworski was 16 of 22 for 272 yards with 2 touchdowns. McNabb was 17 of 25 but for only 174 yards with an interception.

Final Round

(8) 1992 vs. (2) 1980

Will it be Cunningham or Jaworski representing the Eagles? Jaworski has been sharp and Cunninghal has been solid. In th ebackfield Montgomery has looked good but Walker has dominated. It should be a good matchup.

The game turns ugly quickly as Hershell Walker shows the 1980 team that they cannot handle him. Defensively Reggie White and Clyde Simmons control the line as 1992 makes a statement with a 33-14 victory. Walker is player of thegame yet again as he runs for over 150 yards and 2 more touchdowns.

The first team into the Tournament will be the 1992 Eagles.

I always liked Cunningham and even more now that there's the UNLV connection. :D

Sad news to hear about his kid dying, though. :(

2nd round

(5) 2008 vs. (1) 1986

Elie gets a tough match against the Team 86 juggernaut. Will they be the first team to score on Team 86?

Team 86 starts with the ball at their 23. Carthon ahead for 1, 2nd and 9. Simms back to pass, looking, throws over the middle, intercepted by Corey Webster at the 40, he cuts to the sideline, makes a man miss and is gone, touchdown Team 08 and they go up 7-0 on a defensive score to open the game. After a few exhanges of punt Team 82 gets the ball on their 38 and drives the length of the field to tie the game on a 2 yard dive by Morris. The key play was a 48 yard ass from Simms to McConkey to get deep in Team 08 territory. The quarter ends tied 7-7.

The first drive of the 2nd quarter sees Team 08 score on a Manning to Ward 15 yard pass to take a 14-7 lead. Team 86 begins the next drive at their own 21 but it stalls on the Team 08 20 and they settle for a field goal to make it 14-10. After stopping Team 08 on a 4th down on the Team 86 38, Team 86 starts their next drive at the 39. Two plays later it's 3rd and 6 at their 43 with under 2 minutes left in the half.

The half ends with Team 08 up 21-17.

Team 08 opens the 3rd quarter drving to the Team 86 29 but the settle for a field goal to go up 24-17. Neither team can break through for the remainder of the 3rd and it's 24-17 after three.

Early in the 4th Team 08 scores on a 17 yard pass from Manning to Hixon as they take a 31-17 lead. Manning to Moss for a 20 yard score with 2:19 remaining makes it 38-17 and it is getting ugly. After a fumble on the very next play Jacobs goes 28 yards up the middle for the final score of teh game and Team 08 have thrashed the top seed 45-17.

Eli is the player of the game as he threw for over 200 yards and had 3 touchdown passes. Ward and Jacobs each broke 100 yards rushing.

(debated about doing a full write up for that one but I figured isnce the first half looked good...)

(3) 2007 vs. (2) 1990

Another Simms versus Manning matchup as Manning looks to guarantee himself a spot in the Finals.

Defense is the name of the game to start this one. Neither team scores in the 1st and Team 90 manages 3 field goals in the 2nd to take a 6-0 lead into the half.

Pepper Johnson sacks Manning for a safety on the opening play of the second half to give them an 8-0 lead. On the ensuing drive Team 90 adds to their lead with a field goal to make it 11-0. Team 07 answered by driving 78 yards on 10 plays to keep themselves in the game as Jacobs scored on a 1 yard plunge to make it 11-7. The third would end 11-7.

A 5 yard pass from Simms to Anderson would give Team 90 an 18-7 lead with just over 12 minuted remaining. After exchanging punts Team 07 would drive to the Team 90 21 and kick a field goal to make it 18-10 and bring them to within a score with 5:08 left. A three and out gives Team 07 the ball and they would drive to the Team 90 24 but lose the ball on downs with under 2 minutes left. One first down would win the game but Team 07 steps up and stops them to get the ball back with one last chance. They start from their own 41 with 1:15 left. False start makes it 1st and 15 at the 36. Ward for 5 and a 2 yard sack make it 3rd and 12, they use thier last timeout. Manning fires to Burress but misses, 4th down. Manning back, looks, has Burrsee open and fires but overthrows. They lose the ball on downs and the game will be over as Team 90 wins 18-10.

Brandon Jacobs was player of the game in a losing cause as he ran for 131 with a touchdown. Eli had a rough game, going 10 for 30 with 2 interceptions.

Early in the 2nd quarter Team 76 gets a 28 yard field goal to tie he game 3-3.

(6) 1986 vs. (3) 1987

The big play of the drive was a 54 yard pass from Schroeder to Anthony Allen. Team 87 has a 7-0 lead.

Halfway though the 4th Doug Flutie hits Eric Moulds in the endzone to tie the game 7-7 with 7:16 left. Neither team even threatens for the remainder of the 4th and regulation ends 7-7.

Team 90 receives the kickoff to start overtime, they start 1st and 10 at their own 32. Kelly takes the snap, drops back, looks, fires towards Beebe, picked off by Sam Rogers, he returns the ball to the Team 90 22, 1st down!!! Jonathan Linton for 1, and and 9 at the 21. Thurman Thomas up the middle, breaks a tackle and heads to the sideline, dives for the cone... touchdown!!! Doug Flute and the 1999 Bills will be the face of the franchise, the irony is the backup role version of Thurman Thomas is the player that puts the final dagger in Team 90's heart.

Bruce Smith of Teamn 90 is player of the game in the losing cause as he had 4 sacks and dominated. The 99 version of Smith had 2 sacks.

Yeah, seriously. That has to be the biggest upset here so far - that stretch of early '90s Bills teams was the biggest bloc we've seen so far in terms of the same team basically being represented multiple times. I may be rooting for Flutie in this World Cup!

Thanks for the good words. :)

Going to be running the Bears shortly. Looking forward to the Lions to see how Barry Sanders does.

To respond to another comment in the thread. I think the Bills have the second biggest block of teams but they are only beat by a team that had no choice but have a block of teams, the Texans.

Thought there may be a few questions about how some things are working.

I am actually running the qualifying in the same manner as a March Madness type of tournament. There the winner of 1-8 gets the winner of 4-5 and the winner of 2-7 gets the winner of 3-6.

The Titans and Oilers keep their history.

The Texans are only the Texans, hence they have the largest consecutive block.

The Browns are covered by both iterations of the Browns and the Ravens are just the Ravens.

1st round

(8) 1991 vs. (1) 1985

Jim Harbaugh versus Jim McMahon in what looks like an easy bet as the 85 Bears may be one of the biggest favorites in all of the qualifying rounds.

Team 85 sets the tone early and announces their presense to the rest of the Brears team. If you want to get to The Finals, you go through us. They hut down Team 91 with a 27-0 victory.

Richard Dent is named player of the game as he had 3 ot Team 85's 8 sacks and caused havoc all day.

(7) 2005 vs. (2) 2006

Kyle Orton verus Rex Grossman. Will it be good Rex or bad Rex?

On their first drive of the game Team 05 goes the distance in a drive capped by Adrian Peterson (not "that" one :)) with a 39 yard touchdown run to give them a 7-0 lead. The defenses would settle in and the quarter would end 7-0.

Midway through the 2nd Team 05 adds a field goal to increase their lead to 10-0. Neither team would get into scoring range in the quarter and the half ends woth Team 05 up 10-0.

Neither team gets across midfield in the third, it is looking like a really bad nightmare for anyone that likes offense. The game is 10-0 after the third.

After finally winning the battle of field position, Team 06 starts a drive on the Team 05 32 thanks to a decent punt return and focring them to punt from their own 9. Team 06 can only manage to gain 2 yards and kick a field goal to make it 10-3. They hold Team 05 to a three and out. The punt is retuned all the way to the Team 05 4 yard line, a close call shows the returner stepping out at the 4. Jones up the middlefor no gain, 2nd and goal. Jones for no gain, facemask calld, half the distance, 2nd and goal at the 2. Incomplete pass, 3rd and goal. Jones up the middle, near the lone, sretches, touchdown. Team 06 ties the game 10-10. After forcing a 3 and out Team 06 get the ball into field goal range and hit a field goal with 1:25 left to give them their first lead of the game 13-10. Team 05 starts at their own 26. After getting just 5 yards on the first 3 plays it's 4th and 5 at the 31. Screen to Benson, he breaks a tackle and is into the secondary for a gan of 43, 1st down at the Team 06 26. Jones on a sweep for 12, out of bounds, 1st down at the 14. Two plays later it's 1st and goal at the 3. They try Jones up the middle but he loses 1 yard, timeout with just 3 second left. Field goal is good to tie the game 13-13 and send it to overtime.

Teamj 06 starts overtime on their 27. Jones for 3, 2nd and 7 at the 30. Grossman fires, incomplete, 3rd and 7. Grossman back, looking, finds Muhammad for a first down across the 40 with a 13 yard pickup, 1st down at the 43. Benson off tackle for 1, 2nd and 9. McKie up the middls for 2, 3rd and 7. Grossman to Muhammad again for 13, 1st down at the Team 05 41. Jones for 4, 2nd and 6. jones off tackle for 2, 3rd and 4 at the 35. Grossman back, looking, fires, hits Desomond Clark for 17, 1st down at the 18. Benson for no gain, 2nd and 10. Jones forno gain, 3rd and 10. Do they risk another play? Yes they do. Grossman takes the snap, back, looking, fires an out pattern down near the 10 to Muhammad, the corner jumps it, but it goes through his ands and Muhammad has it and turns upfield, he has one man to beat, and does, touchdown. Team 06 wins 19-13 in overtime to move on.

Thomas Jones is playe of the game in a losing cause as he ran for over 200 yards for Team 05. Team 05 outgained Team 06 355-69 on the ground, they just couldn't get into scoring position. In the air was the trouble as Team 05 netted 39 yards passing.

(6) 1987 vs. (3) 1986

Jim McMaon versus Jim McMahon. Should be a good matchup, at least on paper.

Team 86 blows up that close game idea as they nearly repeat what Team 85 accomplished int he first round. They shut out Team 87, 26-0.

Walter Payton is player of the game for Team 86 as he ran for 122 yards with a touchdown. Maybe this team could give their 85 version a good run for their money.

(5) 1988 vs. (4) 2001

Jim McMahon versus Jim Miller. McMahon tries to have three of the final four teams.

The teams trade field goals in the first quarter. After the first it's 3-3.

Midway through the second a 12 yard touchdown run by Neal Anderson gives Team 88 a 10-3 lead. They would add a field goal late ni the half to extend their halftime lead to 13-3.

Neither team gets on the scorebord in teh 3rd quarter. After three quarters Team 88 leads 13-3.

Early in the 4th Team 88 adds another field goal to improve the lead to 16-3. Team 01 needs to do something soon. With 4:30 left, Miller hits Fred Baxter for a short 4 yard touchdown to narrow the gap to 16-10. Team 88 would run the clock down a bit but have to punt. Team 01 would be unable to advance the ball and their game would end with 4 incomplete passes and then be unable to stop the clock as Team 88 runs the clock out for the win.

Neil Anderson would be player of the game by default with the rushing touchdown but no one stood out. McMahon now has three of the four remaining teams.

(5) 1988 vs. (1) 1985

Jim McMahon versus Jim McMahon. Which of his teams will advance?

Team 85 wastes little time answering that question. They dominate and have a 34-6 victory to show for it.

Walter Payton runs for 192 yards with 2 touchdowns in the victory. They hold Team 88 to 43 net pssing yards.

Note to other remaining teams, be afraid.

(3) 1986 vs. (2) 2006

Jim McMahon versus Rex Grossman. Sorry, but I don't see this being close as the 2006 team was one of teh most overrated and lucky teams in history.

While it's closer than I thought it was never in doubt. Team 86 goes on to a 23-6 victory in which Team 06 wasever able to really move the ball.

Walter Payton ran for 180 yards and 1 touchdown as he was player of the game. Bad Rex completed just 9 of 23 passes and was picked twice.

(3) 1986 vs. (1) 1985

Jim McMahon will represent Da Bears, but which version of him? This is the final everyone would have expected and it holds form.

Early in the 1st Walter Payton breaks free on a 34 yard touchdown run to give Team 85 a 7-0 lead. The first quarter ends 7-0.

The teams exchange field goals in the second quarter. At the half Team 85 leads 10-3.

With just over a minute left in teh third, Team 86 gets the game to 10-6 with a field goal. The thirds ends with a 4 point game, 10-6 in favor of Team 85.

After exchanging punts Team 85 drives to the Team 86 25 but the drive stalls and they settle for a field goal to give them a 13-6 lead. After exchanging punts, Team 86 starts a drive at midfield with 2:16 remaining. Encroachment on the defense, 1st and 5 at the 45. Matt Suhey up the middle for 3, 2nd and 2 at the 42. McMahon hits Payton in the flat and he gains 14, 1st down at the 28, two minute warning. Payton gets the draw, and is caught for a 5 yard loss, 2nd and 15 at the 33. Payton loses a yard, 3rd and 16 at the 34. McMahon throws to the endzone, knocked down, 4th and 16. McMaho back, looking, has Willie Gault, but over throws him, turnover on downs. Team 85 runs the clock out for the 13-6 win and will represent the Bears.

Brett Favre versus Fran Tarkenton. Do we fast forward to Favre's game losing interception, or will be save that one for later in the tournament?

Neither team can get on the board in the first quarter and it ends scoreless. The 09 team has driven into Team 73 territory as the quarter comes to a close.

On the first play of the second quarter Adrian Peterson goes 33 yards for he touchdown to give Team 09 a 7-0 lead. Team 73 hits a field goal on their next posession to getto within 7-3.

Late in the 1st Team 69 scores ona 15 yard pass from Kapp to John Beasley to give them a 7-0 lead. The quarter ends 7-0.

Neither team scores in the 2nd and at the half Team 69 leads 7-0.

Team 76 scores midway through the 1st on a 22 yard pass from Tarkenton to Chuck Foreman to give them a 7-0 lead. The quarter ends with them up 7-0.

Team 75 adds two field goals in the second to get to within 7-6 and that is where the game stands at the half.

Fran Tarkenton is player of the game as he threw for over 200 yards with a touchdown.

(5) 1998 vs. (4) 1974

Randall Cunningham versus Fran Tarkenton. Team 98 looks to prove they should be the top seed in ths tournament, but that technicality of no Super Bowl pushed them down to the 5 seed.

Midway through the first Cunningham hits Andrew Glover for a 1 yard touchdown to give Team 98 a 7-0 lead. Late in the first Team 74 answers with a 3 yard touchdown run by Chuck Foreman to tie the game 7-7 which is how the quarter ends.

Randall Cunningham is player of the game has be threw for 327 yards and 3 touchdowns. Favres managed to go just 16 of 30 wth 2 interceptions.

(3) 1976 vs. (2) 1969

Fran Tarkenton versus Joe Kapp. Will Tarkenton win a game versus someone other than himself?

Through the first three quarters Team 76 would scroe twice with field goals and that would be it as they would lead 6-0 after three.

Team 69 would drive to the Team 76 32 with under 9 minutes left but it would stall there. The field goal attempt would go wide left and they still trail 6-0.

Vikings' Final

(5) 1998 vs. (3) 1976

Randall Cunningham versus Fran Tarkenton. Team 98 looks to prove they are the best team and underrated in the seeding and Cunningham looks to be the first quarterback with two teams in The Finals.

Early in the 1st a 12 yard touchdown run by Chuck Foreman gives Team 76 a 7-0 lead. Team 98 answers as Cunningham caps off a drive with a 5 yard touchdown pass to Robert Smith to tie the game 7-7. On the very next play from scrimmage Tarketon hits Ahmad Rashad in stride for a 70 yard touchdown strike but they miss the extra point. After the first quarter Team 76 has a 13-7 lead.

Early in the second Cunningham hits Randy Moss for a 24 yard touchdown strike to give Team 98 a 14-13 lead. With under 5 minutes to go in the half Leroy Hoard adds to their lead with a 6 yard run to make it 21-13. With second left in the half Team 76 hits a field goal to make the score 21-16 in favor of Team 98 at the half.

With under 6 minutes left in the 3rd Tarkenton hits Jim Lash for a 13 yard strike to give Team 76 a 23-21 lead. With just 11 second left in the quarter Robert Smith sneaks through the middle for a 5 yard touchdown run to give Team 98 a 28-23 lead at the end of the third quarter.

After a defensive stop Team 98 adds a field goal to take a 31-23 lead with about 11 minutes left in the game. Each team exchanges punts and Team 76 starts from their own 9 with 6:35 left in the game, they almost have to do something now. Brent McClanahan for 1, 2nd and 9 at the 10. Chuck Foreman loses 2 yards 3rd and 11 at the 8. Tarkenton back, looking, fires to McClanahan, complete for 19, 1st down at the 27. Foreman for 1, 2nd and 9 at the 28. Tarkenton back, beig chased, he runs for positive yardage as he picks up 4, 3rd and 5 at the 32. Rober Miller is stopped for o gain on a draw, 4th and 5 at their own 32 and they ar going for it. Tarkenton back, looking, no one is open, he rolls, spots McClanahan in the flat, flips him the pass and he is brought down close to the 1st down mark. They measure and he just got the first down, 1st down at the 37. Tarkentonto Bob Grim for 9, 2nd and 1 at the 46. Foreman up the middle for no gain, 3rd and 1 at the 46, two minute warning.

Tarkenton takse the snap, fakes a pitch to the right, drops back, he is being chased, avoids one man, turns up field, tries to stiff arma a would be tackler but start to get drrug down, he stretches forwards toward the line... and falls short.

Scott Hunter versus Bart Starr. Will the Super Bowl 1 champions prove that those who did it first did it best?

Jim Taylor gives Team 66 an early lead with a 2 yard touchdown midway through the first. That would be enough for them to win as they would coast to a 24-6 victory. Team 72 would be unable to reach the endzone and only settle for two field goals.

Bart Starr is the player of the game as he throws for over 200 yards with a touchdown.

(7) 2002 vs. (2) 1996

Brett Favre with two different supporting casts.

Ahman Green would give Team 02 a 7-0 lead early in the first. After a turnover Tony Fisher would score on an 18 yard run to give Team 02 a 14-0 lead. It would begin to look like a runaway and it would become one. Team 96 answers a Favre hits Levens for a 1 yard touchdown to make it 14-7 after the first quarter.

Two field goals and a 4 yard touchdown pass from Favre to William Henderson, all for Team 96 would give them a 20-14 lead at the half.

Teams exchange field goals in the third to make it 23-17 after three quarters of play.

A Dorsey Levens 9 yard run, with missed two point conversion and two more field goals, all for Team 96 would give them a 35-17 victory as Team 96 would outscore 35-3 the rest of the way after falling behind 14-0.

Brett Favre for Team 96 would be the player of the game for his two touchdown passes.

(6) 2001 vs. (3) 1967

Brett Favre versus Bart Starr, the two quarterbacks that are the faces of the franchise. Will Team 67 ensure that all three Super Bowl victors advance?

Team 01 shocks everyone by jumping out early and often on their way to a 40-7 dismantling of Team 67.

Ahman Green is the player of the game as he rushes for 132 yards with 2 touchdowns. Favre throws for 275 with 2 touchdowns as well.

(5) 2007 vs. (4) 1997

Another Favre versus Favre matchup.

Favres to Donald Driver for an 8 yard touchdown gives Team 07 a 7-0 lead. Late in the quarter team 97 answers with a 4 yard touchdown from Favre to Mark Chmura (he latched onto that pass like it was a 17 year old girl). The quarter ends tied 7-7.

Vernand Morency scores on a 7 yard touchdown run for Team 07 to give them a 14-7 lead early in the second. Team 97 answers on the next drive as Levens scores on a 2 yard run to tie the game 14-14. A 20 yard field goal gies Team 07 a 17-14 lead. Team 97 manages 2 field goals in the fial 2 minutes of the half to take a 20-17 lead at the half.

On the very last play of the third quarter DeShawn Wynn scores on an 11 yard run to give Team 07 a 24-20 lead at the end of three quarters.

On their first drive on the 4th quarter Team 97 drives a long and methodical 6 minute drive that ends with Favre hitting Freeman for a 24 yard touchdown to give Team 97 a 27-24 lead. Team 07 takes te next drive and goes the distance, capped with a 17 yard touchdown from Favre to James Jones to give them thelead again, 31-27. With 2:12 left in the game Favre goes up top to Robert Brooks for a 44 yard touchdown to give Team 97 a 34-31 lead, this is a seesaw battle. Team 07 starts from their own 35. Incomplete pass,2nd and 10. Favre to Franks for 5, 3rd and 5 at the 40, 2 minute warning. Incomplete pass, 4th and 5 as they may be down to their last chance. Favre dros back, looking, throws to Jennings, complete for 6 yards and a 1st down at the 46. Favre back, looking, under pressure, rolls to his right, he's hit, but scrambles away back to his left, he throw across his body back to the right towards Franks, Leroy Butler jumps in front for the interception and Franks tackles him at the 49. Team 97 runs out the clock for the 34-31 victory. (I have to admit, I laughed when I looked at the play by play to see how their last drive ended and saw the interception)

Dorsey Levens was player of teh game as he ran for 160 yards and had a touchdown. Freeman had over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown as well.

Meh, I probably would have swapped out the 1987 49ers with the 1998 team. Young, Owens, Rice, Hearst (coming off a 1,500 yard season), a top 3 defense, etc. They beat a Packer team in the playoffs that was every bit as good as the Super Bowl championship team of '96, only to lose to the Falcons after Hearst went down with what would ultimately be a career ending injury. Obviously our backup, Terry Kirby, was not up to the task.

Not terribly surprising to see the 67 Rams knock off the 01 version. The 67 team had the Fearsome Foursome up front, and the 01 Rams lacked the O Line the 99 team had.

Sad that the '84 team lost in the first round, but all of those teams were so good that it's not that surprising. Disappointed that the rest of the NFC West was so boring...I wonder who the favorites would be going into the group play stage?

NFC East -
1992 Eagles
1975 Cowboys
1990 Giants
1991 Redskins

NFC North -
1985 Bears
1998 Vikings
1996 Packers
1993 Lions

NFC South -
1987 Saints
2002 Buccaneers
1973 Falcons
2005 Panthers

NFC West -
1989 49ers
2005 Seahawks
1999 Rams
1976 Cardinals

AFC East -
1972 Dolphins
2007 Patriots
1982 Jets
1999 Bills

AFC North -
1995 Steelers
1980 Browns
2009 Bengals
2000 Ravens

AFC South -
1967 Colts
1999 Jaguars
1993 Oilers
2009 Texans

AFC West -
2009 Chargers
1967 Raiders
1998 Broncos
1969 Chiefs

By decade:

1960's - 3 Teams ('67 Raiders, '69 Chiefs, '67 Colts)
1970's - 4 Teams ('72 Dolphins, '76 Cardinals, '73 Falcons, '75 Cowboys)
1980's - 5 Teams ('80 Browns, '82 Jets, '89 49ers, '87 Saints, '85 Bears)

2000's - 8 Teams ('09 Chargers, '09 Texans, '00 Ravens, '09 Bengals, '07 Patriots, '05 Seahawks, '05 Panthers, '02 Buccaneers)

2009 (Chargers, Texans and Bengals) and 1999 (Jaguars, Bills, Rams) are the most represented years, with '67, '05 and '93 each having two representatives.

If I had to seed these teams...

1's: 1985 Bears, 1989 49ers, 1972 Dolphins, 1998 Broncos

This whole thing just loss all credibility to me.

One of the greatest teams of all time, on both sides of the ball, a team that finished with the number one offense in the league, number three defense, and defeated the John Elway led Broncos in the Super Bowl by a record margin of 55-10, loses 18-10 to the 2005 Seahawks? What a joke.

Yeah, those 2005 Seahawks were a joke. Only won 11 in a row and 13 of their final 15 with their only 2 losses in that span being the regular season finale when they rested their starters and the Super Bowl itself which had just a bit of controversy. To discount their chances because of the historical nature of the team isn't being very fair to the nature of this contest.

And to be clear, I'm not trying to take anything away from the Niners, they were certainly a great team. But even some of the best defenses in the history of the NFL would have had a lot of trouble stopping the run the way Seattle's offensive line (and Alexander) played that year. To say they were a joke is discounting them way too severely.

Arguing that a team with Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Roger Craig, Charles Haley, Ronnie Lott, John Taylor, Tom Rathman, Brent Jones, Keena Turner and Eric Wright, all in the prime of their careers, would lose to the 2005 Seahawks because they had a swell O-line is preposterous. The '89 Niners would have beaten the '05 Hawks 24 times out of 25. In the one time they might lose, it would be due to a massive turnover differential. The 49ers lost two games in 89, once to their eventual NFC Championship foes, the Rams (divisional game at that) by a score of 12-13, and once to the Packers by a score of 21-17 thanks to four turnovers and a collapse of the O-line. The play-by-play that this engine generated looked nothing like the '89 team.

Travis

All those guys in their prime and the Seahawks offense still out scored them by 10 points on the season. Sure that was a great Niner's team, no doubt, and if you go for franchise success longevity the Niners have the Hawks by miles, but that 2005 team was a lot more impressive than you're giving it credit for.

To say the 14-2 Niners squad would beat the 13-3 Seahawks team 24 times out of 25 just kind of exemplifies that.

Montana: 3,521 yards, 26 TD, 8 Int
Hasselbeck: 3,459 yards, 24 TD, 9 Int

Craig: 1,054 rushing, 6 TD, 473 receiving, 1 TD
Alexander: 1,880 rushing, 27 TD

Rathman/Strong would be close to a wash blocking with Rathman owning a huge edge in offensive usage (305 rushing, 616 receiving).

So two offenses with very similar overall numbers and two defenses that were at the top of the league.

In 2005 the Seahawks were #1 in scoring offense and #7 on defense. The Niners were #1 in offense and #3 in defense.

Sure, more hall of famers to be on the Niners team but isolating the one season, there's just not as much difference as you're making it out to be. The biggest difference is that the Niners were able to sustain that level of play over a much longer number of seasons than the Seahawks were able to.

Travis

08-03-2010, 02:43 PM

Dola, I can understand if you want to make a beef over how the simulator ran the offenses in that game as I'd agree on that as the play selection used by the Seahawks didn't seem all that similar to how they played that season.

I'm also certainly not saying that the Seahawks would own this matchup with regularity but I do think it'd be a hell of a game.

You can't directly compare the statistics to the two teams for the lone reason that they played in different eras. It may not sound like much, but 16 years can change a lot in football. That's like pitting the 1966 Packers against the 1981 49ers and saying the 49ers were better because they had more passing yards...different games entirely. Instead, compare the difference between the leaders on those teams and their competition that year. For example...

In 1989, Joe Montana finished with a rating of 112.4. The next highest was Boomer Esiason at 92.1. Montana set a new bar in 1989 by which all great QB years were measured. Even now, 21 years later, only three QB's have had better years, one of which being his 1989 teammate Steve Young.

Matt Hasselbeck finished the year with a passer rating of 98.2, good for fourth in the league.

Roger Craig may have finished with only 1054 yards rushing, however that was still good enough to place in the top 10, and the backfield combo of Craig/Rathman combined accounted for 2,500 yards from scrimmage. That placed second in the league behind only Thurman Thomas/Larry Kennebrew, and by a difference of 50 yards. In comparison, the backfield tandem of Alexander/Morris didn't even finish in the top three, even with Alexanders 1880 rushing yards, which by the way was only 20 yards more than Tiki Barber.

The Hawks leading receiver was Bobby Engram (778 yards), followed by Joe Jerevicious (694). The two combined for 13 touchdowns. Jerry Rice had that many touchdowns in 1989.

By week 10.

Rice and Taylor finished with a combined 2,560 receiving yards...both players finishing over 1,000 on the year. Rice had 17 TD's, 5 more than the second place Sterling Sharpe, and Taylor had 10...good for fourth in the league.

I think I'm giving the Seahawks plenty of credit. The 49ers of 1989 rank among the greatest single season teams to ever play. They obliterated their three opponents in the playoffs by an average score of 42-8. The Seahawks of 2005 were good, but they couldn't even win the Super Bowl.

So by that logic, any team in NFL history that lost a game during the season is more or less on par with everybody else, for the single fact they lost to someone? That's a bit of a stretch if you ask me. My argument is that the 49ers are a significantly better team, and the way the game went based on the play by play I saw, it was not indicative of how the 49ers of that season would have gone about doing business. 24 of 25 games would be wins, and more than likely by multiple touchdowns. They lost that game by more points than they lost any game the entire '89 season, and it wasn't even really close. The offense was completely ineffective the entire game. Nah, I'll stick to my original stance.

Not on par. Travis and I both agree that your 49ers are a better team and would win more often than not. But 24 out of 25 is absolutely absurd. They lost 1 in 8 games during the regular season to teams not as good as that Seattle team. Your conjecture is that their only loss to the '05 Seahawks would be a complete fluke. Evidence shows that the '89 Niners can be beaten and were beaten more often than you contend.

That game showed just how that '89 team could be beaten, much like how any great team gets beat -- ball control and avoiding mistakes. That offense was one of the best all time; the defense was great in context of the season but hardly historically so.

You do also realize that the '05 Seattle head coach knew the '89 49er offense as well or better than anybody on that team?

One more point and I will then agree to disagree with you, Sun Tzu. The '89 49ers played 4 teams in the regular season that finished with 10 wins that year and went 3-2. Including the 3 playoff wins, they went 6-2 against 10 win teams. Note: 3 of those 8 games were against the same LA Rams team.

I do not think it is unreasonable to say that the '05 Seahawks are at least on par with any of those other 10 win teams and likely better than most if not all.

Neither the '07 Patriots nor the '72 Dolphins could have maintained their unbeaten streaks against a playoff quality opponent week after week.

Also, let's not forget that the '89 Niners were nearly swept by the Rams that year. The Rams were leading 17-3 in the second before the Niners turned it on and had Taylor take two 5 yd slants to the house on 90+ yard plays. Rams turned around and dropped the next game and then went on a tear to finish the season. They went into Philly and beat the Eagles before going to Giant stadium and beating the Giants. The '89 Rams are maligned because in the big game they got trounced. That was a good team.

My point is, the '89 Niners were not the best Niners team of the decade. They had a solid regular season, but they were dominant during the playoffs and that is what people remember. The team that was dominant throughout the year was the '84 Niners.

More Real Life getting in the way. Haven't had a long enough stint to run through and post a game. I hope to get a few done this week but not sure how much as work is still insane and outside of work we (my wife and I) are trying to empty out our storage unit (tired of paying the monthly fee) and that has been taking up pretty much what is left over (other than sleeping and eating).

lol, the Lions are still alive but they need to beat the Vikings by at least 24 points and have the Packers lose to the Bears and the combined point differential of the games must be 68 or more.

Fighting a headache today (sinus I believe) but also spending most of the time with my daughters today as school starts tomorrow. Will try to get at least one game in tonight.

Am off the next couple days so I hope to get a few games done over that time.

I'll do the Lions/Vikings game a little later tonight. The Bears have clinched the top seed from that group. The Vikings will advance with a win. The Packers advance with a Lions' victory by fewer than 57 points. The Lions can say that they control their destiny (maybe a stretch :) ), if they can win by more than 57 they can advance.
