what would happen if a NFL team shut another one out by 69 pts?

The coach would get fired?

ipickwinners · 10-19-08, 01:05 AM

coaches would be fired within the next week?

maniac0201 · 10-19-08, 01:07 AM

I'd tell the team thats losing to make a damn stop if they want their check this week.

It would probably never happen in the NFL, blowout rules would come into effect at 49-0

Top 5 team in the nation VS. Bottom 5 team in the nation (and thats being generous, you could argue higher than 5 on both sides)

Big difference in skill discrepancy between college's best and worst and pro's best and worst.

Hugh Hefner would become the commissioner

If they wanted to, I think the NY Giants could have done it a couple of weeks ago against Seattle, but they settled for 44-6. I think they scored every possession in the 1st half and the first possesion in the 2nd half until they called the dogs off. Ugly game for Seattle and Holmgren.

already happened, and it was an underdog winning 73-0

And it was an NFL Championship Game in the 50s. I believe score was 72-0.

OK it was 1940 NFL Championship and rjt is correct:

Bears 73, Redskins 0

rm18 · 10-20-08, 12:23 AM

Someone would start a thread claiming the game was fixed and he had the inside info that told him the game would go over the total.

Korn jizz in his pants really is TMI. I think Madden would fly in a plane before this happens.

OK...Sonny Bono comes back to life goes sking and hits another tree and John Madden shaves his head and goes for the Dennis Rodman look...is that better 20four7???? oh how about this, everyone grab their significant other and open hand slap'em and then get in the 69 position and go to work. 69-0 is hard to believe the way coachs call off the dogs nowadays.

These type of blowouts usually only happen in the playoffs, but can easily happen again. Jacksonville beat Miami 61-0 in the playoffs about 10 years.

Legend4Aday · 10-22-08, 12:25 AM

Looking at KC it does make you wonder...

turnip · 10-22-08, 05:02 AM

They would cover the spread

nosniboR11 · 10-22-08, 11:04 AM

the team would win 69-0

...Or long, long after the final whistle, several Forum members would make posts claiming they knew all along that the victorious team was going to crush the opponent (probably by a score of 69-0 or something) because they are such gifted handicappers and incredibly sharp...
