I saw that play in slow motion and you might have a point of him pushing off to gain separation away from the DB but we were not wearing stripes on the field.dal4018 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 23, 2025 10:42 amI saw that play I don't think he pushed off he used his size to take advantage of the DB.I want to see how fast he is in the 40.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Wed Dec 17, 2025 2:56 pm
A lot of those yards were on one big play and it actually look like he pushed the UC Davis receiver down
But yeah, he is a talent

Re: Upsets and Road Wins
Someone on social media mentioned Sinani to me saying that he was a deep ball threat but he couldn't stay healthy and they got their hands on CLIFF BRANCH in the early '70s.What happened to Warren Wells if Darryl LaMonica was around in the '70s he should have been there as well.Maynard kept on trucking in the '70s as well along with Lance Alworth.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Sun Dec 28, 2025 8:03 amGood historydal4018 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 26, 2025 12:05 pm

Re: Upsets and Road Wins
Cliff Branch was the real deal
Lamonica didn’t seem to be around that long before Kenny Stabler replaced him
I loved the NFL back in those days but haven’t really followed it very closely for decades
The last Super Bowl I watched was the one Joe Flacco won for the Colts, and probably only a few since the 90s
Oh wait a minute I watched the Rams about five years ago
The first one I remember watching was Super Bowl IV
Chiefs and Vikings
I don’t actually remember the game, but I remember all the media hub about Joe Willy Namath and Jets beating the Colts
Joe Kapp
Len Dawson

I was told that LaMonica was a 2x Pro Bowler in the '70s before he was replaced by Stabler.Someone said Davis was upset with him because of his penchant to throw PICK 6SCaribbean Hen wrote: ↑Sun Dec 28, 2025 11:11 am Cliff Branch was the real deal

Re: Upsets and Road Wins
That doesn't surprise me. The history books show that Lamonica never learned how to read a zone defense. It's definitely a bad look when you get benched in favor of a 48-year-old kicker who bails the team out for a win or a tie FIVE GAMES IN A ROW. Particularly when said kicker looks like a cadaver....dal4018 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 30, 2025 12:10 amI was told that LaMonica was a 2x Pro Bowler in the '70s before he was replaced by Stabler.

How old was Blanda in 1971 I seem to remember era well … maybe the networks loved the Oakland Raiders

Yes. Where do you think he learned how to pick a zone defense apart? He was getting his lessons as the zone was developed....dal4018 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 30, 2025 8:39 pmYou know that Blanda use to toss the pigskin before he kicked them in Chicago.SuperHornet wrote: ↑Tue Dec 30, 2025 6:23 pm
