I shudder to think how painful a Chargers’ reference will be to read.

1995, and it’ll end on the first sentence. Just like the Superbowl.

Wow, forgot about this. That team was loaded.

2011-2012 Knicks loaded? Or just loaded?

a fan of the Saints 17 years before they finally win one.

The franchise was formed in ’67. They didn’t win their first playoff game until the 2000-2001 season. The Dome Patrol years would’ve seen the team potentially reach a Super Bowl, if not for the existence of one Joe Montana and one Jerry Rice. Couple of goddamn GOATS there.

Which one of Marty Schottenheimer’s regular season champion, three yards and a cloud of playoff failure Chiefs teams is going to make it? They were all more or less the same.

Part II is coming up, see if you can guess how evil the Magic Football will be.

If Randall Cunningham doesn’t get hurt in the first game of the 1991 season, that Eagles team had a real shot of getting to the Super Bowl. That team probably had one of the best defenses of the past 25 years

A great what-if then as to whether Reggie would have still left Philly had they won a ring there

Sub Bucs for Raiders in 2002. Raiders already used.

you could almost argue the 1999 Bucs were just as good as the 2002.

Eagles never had a magic season unless it involves choking in the playoffs (Tampa Bay is so getting 2002).

’94 and ’95 were the toughest seasons for me to figure out – dominated by Cowboys/49ers/Steelers. The ’94 Cardinals were 8-8, only 2 games off their best season.

Also looking through it’s unbelievable how consistently good the Colts were during the Peyton era.

The Jets were a problem. What a shitty franchise. Between them, the Cards and the recent expansion teams great seasons by better franchises are getting ignored i think.

The Jets might have to end up with 2010 since their 12-4 year with Vinny fell when the Vikings and Broncos had their best seasons, otherwise I don’t know where you put them

Was the Jets team coached by Herm or Rex?

Lisk chooses to relive Lin Elliot’s masterpiece in ’95

It sounds like Lisk had a formula for it, so he didn’t get to choose to bring up certain painful memories. Except for the Jets, pretty sure their ended badly no matter which season they got.

I figured I missed a couple since I essentially ignored 2 15-1 teams (2011 Packs, 2004 Steelers) Not sure what you do with the Texans or the 1994 season if you take those seasons. Can’t wait to read part 2 & 3.

What about the 2005 Chiefs? Weren’t they a ridiculous offensive juggernaut that went something like 10-6 but missed the playoffs?

The ’03 Chiefs were probably a better club and it wouldn’t shock me to see them there unless Lisk chooses to relive Lin Elliot’s masterpiece in ’95

What about the 2005 Chiefs? Weren’t they a ridiculous offensive juggernaut that went something like 10-6 but missed the playoffs? They had three different 13-3 seasons I remember in the 90s and the early aughts but that 10-6 could be a candidate.
