'06: Pats-Chargers
Mediocre quarterback who quits on his team = no.
'06: Pats-Chargers
Sorry but.....
Watching the old AFL from day one and the NFL it was real obvious the biggest difference was defense. Another obvious was speed, and the AFL had the edge. The reason being more black players were on those 8 AFL teams, they had a lot of HBCU players and guys from small colleges. (speedy black guys who didn't have the grades for the big schools)
Yes watching 34-31 games because nobody could stop anybody was exciting. And guys like the 250 pound FB Cookie Gilchrist*** the speedy Abner Haynes/Paul Lowe were very exciting. Gilchrist never even went to college, he went straight from HS to the CFL.
So the anticipation for an NFL vs AFL Championship game was something else. Could an NFL defense deal with the speed of an AFL team? Think about that debate right here if there had been the internet in the late 60's.
I still think the Chiefs could have beat any NFL team but the Packers.
My fav SB was Chiefs vs Vikes. That was right after the Jets had beat the Colts, with some thinking an AFL win was a fluke and if the Vikes had won, yep....fluke. With the Chiefs winning convincingly was a real big deal.
There were a lot of years where the big game was Cowboys vs Niners, Pats vs Colts which is why I'm not a fan of AFC/NFC, they need to dump that idea and try something where any two teams could meet in a SB.
No Steelers vs Raiders, no Cowboys vs Niners and no Tom vs Peyton in the biggie just ain't right.
Too bad they didn't play the biggie for the 1963 season, that Charger team with Lance Alworth, Paul Lowe, Keith Lincoln, Ron Mix was special. When they played that seasons AFL All Star game the starting backfield for the west....Tobin Rote at QB, then Lincoln, Lowe and Alworth. Yep, all Chargers.
*** guy was a pilot and owned a plane, he wanted to fly himself to the games, ha~~~~ Yep, that didn't work so he wasn't happy. This guy was a real character, but a fantastic runner, the first AFLer to have a 1000 yard season.

No team with Marty Schottenheimer as their "coach" was ever going to win a Super Bowl.
never, and i mean NEVER try to give any credit to a team CN "supports" when he's around. you will feel his wrath
they were my team until 2015, too.
2007 should've been Cowboys-Patriots.
If Patrick Crayton doesn't drop that huge 3rd down pass late in the 4th than the cowboys keep the drive alive and don't give Eli and the giants the ball back. Crayton probably would've scored if he would've caught it. Nobody was infront of him . Anthony Fasano also dropped a TD pass that hit him right in the chest right before the half. So unlucky.
Loved those games. Both of those teams were so good.
I've never seen a "fan" hate on his favorite teams as much as CN.
