TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 That week 15 game between the Chargers and Chiefs was one of the most exciting games I ever saw. Wish I had the original game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 2008 to 2012 was the best rivalry between teams I've ever seen. Even though the Steelers are both good this year, the battles just don't have the same sizzle as these handful of years do. Perhaps that will change moving forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtcheezwiz Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Week 16, 2004. Packers @ Vikings on Christmas eve. Packers needed to win this game to keep their playoff hopes alive but would need to slow down a Vikings offense that was on fire. Daunte Culpepper threw for nearly 5,000 yards and 40 td's that season and Randy Moss was in his last season with the Vikings. A classic NFCN battle that went back and forth. Favre and Culpepper both had big days through the air . Javon Walker and Donald Driver being Favre's main Targets while rookie Nate Burelson had a breakout performance. Vintage Favre drove the packers down the field for a game winning, Ryan Longwell field goal as time expired. I REALLY miss Al Harris and think he is one of the most underrated corners of all time.

Steelers are a finesse team now and it helps when the teams are physical and have HOF players - ON DEFENCE. Lewis and Reed, Troy and Harrison. Defence was the main reason. NFL has made the rules offensive friendly to the point I doubt it would d ever get like the old Ravens vs Steelers games. The league is different now, but if you like pass and catch.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon in Seattle may have led to a SB title, or maybe two. 1986 may have been the year. That team was hot down the stretch, and they beat the Giants at home that year.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 2001 NFC Divisional Playoff Green Bay Packers (13-4) at St. Louis Rams (14-2) Sunday Jan 20, 2002 Start Time: 4:15pm Stadium: Dome at America's Center Attendance: 66,338 Time of Game: 3:05 The NFL landscape had to wait essentially three years for a Favre/Warner duel. What was presented was a lopsided affair in favor of the St. Louis Rams. This was arguably Brett Favre's worst game as a pro as he threw 6 interceptions, although a few of them were just bad bounces to Rams defenders. The Packers overall turned the ball over 8 times, with St. Louis scoring a TD instantly off of three of them. A disappointing end to Mike Sherman's first season as Packers head coach, and a great step forward for the Rams who had returned back to the NFC Championship for the 2nd time in three seasons.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 1994 Week 13 San Francisco 49ers (9-2) at New Orleans Saints (4-7) Monday Nov 28, 1994 Start Time: 9:00pm Stadium: Louisiana Superdome Attendance: 61,304 An NFC West divisional brawl on Monday night. The 49ers and Saints are clearly headed in opposite directions on the season, but usually the Saints play the 49ers tough in the dome. Despite the final score, the Saints showed some bite early on in the contest, not making it easy for their division rivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 1993 AFC Championship Kansas City Chiefs (13-5) at Buffalo Bills (13-4) Sunday Jan 23, 1994 Start Time: 12:30pm Stadium: Rich Stadium Attendance: 76,642 Cold day in Buffalo for the AFC Championship. Bills are looking to get back to the big show for an unprecedented 4th straight trip. The Chiefs are looking to get back there for the first time in 24 years, this time under the guidance of former 49ers legend Joe Montana. Chiefs give a valiant effort early, but by halftime, the Bills are in control via Thurman Thomas on the ground. The Chiefs all day couldn't stop the run, and on offense were lackluster against the Buffalo defense. To make matters worse, Montana was lost in the third quarter, and was replaced by Dave Krieg. This loss for the Chiefs would start an avalanche of heartbreak in the post season, as they wouldn't win another game for 22 more seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH Montana looked lost in the 1st and 2nd quarter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
