I honestly think the real reason that everybody thinks Philly will have
an easy time with KC is because the KC offense is such a run dominated
attack.  Without the run and thus play action, KC's offense will
not light up the scoreboard.  Teams with a strong running attack have
not proven to do very well against the current Gang Green crew.
(Until the Dallas game and Emmitt Smith with his 67 yards, they had
allowed no single running back more than 28 yds a game).  Thats
why most people feel it will be a long day for KC.

If any of you are interested in a football-pool-type program that runs on a
PC under MS Windows, I suggest trying a program at wuarchive.wustl.edu
called NFL_1992 Scoreboard.  It's in the directory /mirrors/win3/uploads
under the filename nfl92.zip.  It was written by a man named Thomas Kerr,
and he's marketing it as shareware.

For practice, I entered the first 6 weeks of NFL scores (also at wuarchive,
thanks Gidi).  I then produced a couple of reports, which I'll post in
subsequent messages.  The program apparently uses 1991 results (playoffs
included) and 1992 game data to predict scores and assign "power" ratings.
You be the judge.

If you intentioanly 'fumble' then you make a pass.  If the pass is
forward and beyond the line of scrimmage then it is an illegal forward
pass - penalty 5 yards and a loss of down at the spot of the pass.
If it is the second forward pass during the down and behind the line
then the penalty is a loss of down only.

Otherwise, it is a backward pass and thus legal anytime.  No penalty.

          If I remember correctly the snap was low, the punter kicked
the ball off the ground. He was never touched by any Dolphin player. I
don't think the ball was either. The punt did go approximatly 25 yards.
The refs called the punter for illegal procedure (the punter did not have
controll of the ball before he kicked it). Next, Don Shula declines the
penalty. Then the Dolphins move the ball about 25 yards and the kick was
good.

     As a Dolphin fan I remember this point, but you may not. Earlier in
preseason on that year the Dolphins played the Eagles. With about 3 seconds
left and the win in the bag for the Eagles, the Eagles kick a field goal. The
Eagles won by like 10-15 points. This really pised off the Dolphins off and
they certainly had it on their minds.

Hello,

I was watching the Bronco's - Redskins game on Screensport Europe on 
tuesday night. The team that kicked-off hit the post and the ball
fell in the N-zone. My question is: what happens if the ball had gone
between the posts? Is it a fieldgoal ?

Thanks for responding,

No no and no.  The punting team can only advance the ball if the kick
does not CROSS the neutral zone.  Any touching by the defence behind
or in the vicinity of the neutral zone does NOT allow the offence to
recover the kick and retain posession, if the ball crosses the neutral
zone.

If the kick does not cross the neutral zone (or crosses but is then
forced back) ANY player may recover and advance.

I hate the Redskins, but have to admit, that was one of the best games they'
ve played since last year, and the best game I watched this year.
Rypien (<-spelling?) was right on target.

I HATE Elway, so it was nice to see him on his back like a turtle trying to 
get up.  I thought for sure he would have a "life alert" on and call for 
help.

Does anyone recall the 1990 Giants? They started out 9-0, they went on

Get the point? a great start doesn't guarantee a SB, but more often than
not, a great start means all the way.

Given the choice, do you want your team to start 10-0 or 6-4?

One other question: how many SB champions have had losing record during 
their championship seasons? I can only recall one, the 1986 Giants' 0-1, 
after losing the season opener to Dallas.

Much as I hate to defend Gloria, this was probably an honest mistake.
Going into last weekend, Siefert had the highest winning percentage,
and some announcer pointed that out.  I forget the actual number, but
it was slightly below .800.  With the Viking's win, Green's winning
percentage becomes .800, *skyrocketing* him past Siefert, inspite of
the niners victory.

Bob, what rock did you crawl out from under? How can you say that the Cowgirls
will eat them live after they just got beaten by 24 points?
Seems to me that the 59 yard catch that Irvin made that led to the Cowgirls
only touchdown was a lucky catch and seems to me that if the Cowgirls weren't
so lucky to not have the fumble by E.Smith not called that Aikman wouldn't
have even been able to throw that poor pass! So if it was truly all bad luck
the score wouldve been probably 34 or 38 to 0!
Why don't you just admit it Bob? The Cowgirls got a good old fashioned ass
licking Monday night.

Hmm, interesting.  however, I don't think that was the advantage
in the above cases.  It might work the opposite.  If you win your
division, you have to play all the other heavy-weights the next
year.  You will have less "automatic" games against weaker
division rivals to play against.  Thus, overall, your schedule
will be harder..   Granted it will be easier to get to the play-offs.

Almost -- didn't the Bears pop Washington 73-0 in an NFL title game in the

I second Juan's assertion.  I have not seen anything from Vikes fans
that could be called woofing.  In fact, you would have to "listen"
very carefully to "hear" anything about the Vikes in r.s.f.p, what 
with all the "noise" from fans of obviously superior (and inferior
too) teams.
