KLC, I hated the Steelers b/c they won too much.

Loved Campbell. Robbed on the Renfro catch at the back of the EZ.

The Renfro call killed some momentum, but the Steelers probably would have win anyway. They were 10 points better than us for the rest of the game. I hated the Steelers and Larry Bird growing up because of what they did to my Houston teams while I was growing up, but I sure do respect them now.

Mia, 21-14. This offense is so good. Carolina couldn't have played much better.

That Panthers lead disappeared quickly. I hope somebody hit the Dolphins ML live when they were down 14-0.

I was a Bird guy. Something about giving hope to the White Man. LOL

The two Houston final appearances were really a part of history:
1) In 1981, they still had the mini-series. HOU beat the Lakers 2 out of 3.
...Rockets caught fire, won all those road games.
...Moses Malone. But what about The Whopper (Billy Paultz)?

Terrible fg by this Carolina kicker

That '81 team was about team defense and Malone offense. Malone almost single handedly brought that team back from 17 points down in Game 6. My dad threatened to send me to bed early if I didn't stop yelling at the TV during the comeback.

Mr KLC · 10-15-23, 01:32 PM

Looks like I picked the correct RB with Mostert today.

ChuckyTheGoat · 10-15-23, 01:34 PM

2) As for the 1986 Rockets, what an upset over the Lakers:
...Arrival of the Twin Towers. Sampson/Olajuwon.
...I used to forget that Olajuwon was even on the team. Just b/c he was so young.

I have to say one thing. If there were two NFL/NBA results that I could FLIP to produce a different final:
...It would be the Lakers beating the Rockets in 1986, and
...the Dolphins beating the Patriots in 1984.

If the Dolphins had won in 1984, is there a chance Marino could have solved the Bears? We'll never know.

And the 1986 Finals was PRIMED to be Celtics vs Lakers, winner take all. 1986 is normally viewed as the best Celtic team of the Bird Era. I say that b/c they had a healthy Walton coming off the bench.
...So the Laker vs Celtic firepower would have been even.
...If the Lakers had beaten THAT Celtic team, then there's no debate. Lakers would be deemed as better.
...But the Rockets had other ideas. Loved the Sampson turnaround shot at the horn.

ChuckyTheGoat · 10-15-23, 01:36 PM

*Edit, I should say Dolphins in 1985 (not 1984).

Might have been a tougher Finals for Boston if John Lucas hadn't had his drug issues right before the playoffs started. Robert Reid at point forward was our best option after that.

Mr KLC · 10-15-23, 01:46 PM

A lot of Redskin fans in Atlanta today.

Mr KLC · 10-15-23, 01:51 PM

Texans lucked out getting the 2nd pick this year. Bryce Young is experiencing a baptism by fire this season.

Have to admit I forgot about the Lucas situation. He was a good player.

I met Lucas at the Rocket team hotel in Vegas. Shook his hand. Bigger than I might have expected.

Mr KLC · 10-15-23, 01:52 PM

Justin Fields hurt.

Yeah that series was tough on Robert Reid. He had to play the point on one side and guard Bird on the other. All of this after he unretired.

No doubt. Pretty big win, if the Texans can hold on here.

Mr KLC · 10-15-23, 01:56 PM

Tyreek hurt. Going back to the locker room.

Oh wow, that's it for Fins as he was their MVP.

Mr KLC · 10-15-23, 02:00 PM

DFS team looking good right now. I'm on the winning side right now with only 4 of my 9 players in the early games. Mostert, Hubbard, Thielan, and Dalton Schultz.

I was worried about this game, but it's the Niners that I should've been worrying about.

CHI - Fields injured?

Mr KLC · 10-15-23, 02:05 PM

Undrafted qb from Shepherd University gets put in for Fields and fumbles on his first drive for a Vikings TD. A day he will always remember.

Browns defense is good enough to carry them to an AFC North title if Watson can get his head and game straight.

I've been monitoring this. Bagent played well in pre-season when the HC gave most of the starters TIME OFF to rest.

With the exception of Minshew/Dalton, it's hard to find many competent backup QBs in this league at the moment.

ChuckyTheGoat · 10-15-23, 02:09 PM

KLC, you have Bagent on your Fantasy team?

I knew Young had a pop-gun arm. He couldn't stretch defenses at Alab last year.

Can't believe NFL scouts couldn't figure that out.

It's just cramps. They'll give him a new pad and he'll probably be OK.

Fields is out for the rest of the game. Chicago fans are going to boo this kid out of the stadium if he doesn't look presentable for the rest of the game.

McCaffrey, Samuel, and Trent Williams all get hurt in the same game. Damn Shame! Now we find out how good Purdy really is.
