Perhaps most important, new rules were put in place for the first time that limited the amount of contact that could be used against a wide receiver, as the league looked to open up the offenses. The 16-game schedule, four rounds of playoffs with byes and wide open passing games are accepted facts of life in the NFL today. They all began in 1977-78. As the league moved into modernity, the ending of the 1977-78 season would be defined by its past. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys had each won two Super Bowls at this point, and when they got together in Miami to end this year, it was a fight to be the first to three rings. Pittsburgh won a 35-31 game with fourteen future Hall of Famers on the field and became the NFL’s most decorated franchise of the Super Bowl era. Pittsburgh and Dallas weren’t the only success stories in the 1977-78 NFL season. Here’s the rundown on other teams that enjoyed big years…. The Los Angeles Rams were the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs after a chaotic preseason that saw a coaching change made just prior to the start of the regular season. The Houston Oilers drafted the game’s brightest young star in Earl Campbell and made the playoffs for the first time since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Campbell ran a close second to Steeler quarterback Terry Bradshaw in the MVP race. The New England Patriots and Denver Broncos won division titles in the AFC. The Patriots came undone with organizational chaos at the end of the season, while the Broncos survived a tough four-team fight in the West. The Minnesota Vikings said goodbye to a legend in quarterback Fran Tarkenton, but not before the future Hall of Fame quarterback pushed his team into the playoffs one more time. The Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles each made the playoffs for the first time in the Super Bowl era, with the Falcons winning a thrilling wild-card game and then giving Dallas all they could handle in the divisional round. And the Miami Dolphins, out of the money in recent years after the early 1970s dominance, made it back to the postseason for head coach Don Shula. Of the teams that didn’t make the playoffs, of note were the Washington Redskins, who started out 5-0 under the new head coach/QB combination of Jack Pardee and Joe Theisman. But the rest of the season didn’t go quite as well, as the ‘Skins ended up 8-8. And so much more... From This Point, This Will Be A User Vs Cpu Vs Cpu Full Open League, Meaning, I Will Control My Team (Browns) And I Will Let Things Progress & Play Out As They May By Allowing The Cpu To Make Its Own Moves As They Like. This Is My First Time Doing Something Of This Magnitude So Bare With The Rookie. Can History Repeat It Self? Will New History Be Made? These Threads Will Be Long, It Will Be Detailed, Can A Video Game Live Up To The Hype Of Real Life? We Gone Find Out! As A Side Note - Noted From Metallicarl One Of Creator's Of These Outstanding Roster And Draft Classes... Teams that weren’t around in 1977 got Canadian players. I also rerated the entire roster for dynasty play but some of the ages are off a few years and had to trade players around to adjust the star/superstar ratings. Didn’t always work because of salary penalties so a few players that are just average have superstar growth. I’ve just been adjusting every year or so to keep players like Richard Todd and Steve Grogan from being elite. I Will Allow All Growth Of Everyone & See Who Will Be Going To...  Enjoy This Will Be Huge. Last edited by StormsWarning; 03-13-2021 at 12:28 AM. |
