Today the Ravens rushed for 138 yards beating the 1978 New England Patriots team rushing record of 3165 yards. The 1978 New England Patriots, my favorite team, where a worthy Super Bowl team who's season was ruined by the worst and dubious officiating call in NFL history. This team would have been the 1st SB winning Patriot team, but the NFL Gods rewarded the Patriots with the Tuck Rule later against the same team, the Raiders. The rushing leaders were: Full Back Sam "The Bam" Cunningham 768 yards Running Back Andy Johnson 675 Yards Running Back Horace Ivory 693 yards Quarterback Steve Grogan 539 yards Running Back Don Calhoun 391 yards But they could not have done this with what I believe is the greatest offensive line in NFL history! Their left side of the line was devastating with Leon Gray and John Hannah. LT Leon Gray 4 time pro bowler 3 time 1st team all pro LG John Hog Hannah possibly the greatest OL in NFL history C Bill Lenkaitis who was actually the Patriot's dentist at the time RG Sam Adams could you have a better name as a Patriot? RT Shelby Jordan who won a SB afterward with the hated Raiders Yes, the Patriots have had recent success, but as a true Patriot fan, I am still upset at how the 78 Patriots got screwed and how this team is always overlooked by football pundits.
This post totally confused me. The Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens in 1995 and then the Browns moved back to Cleveland. " . . . who's season was ruined by the worst and dubious officiating call in NFL history." Hahaha, that's rich. Perennial systemic and systematic cheaters crying in their coffee over what could have been. And the game you're referencing, wasn't that against the Browns in 1995 under Constipated Bill? That was pre-Cheats, but no one here is going to have one scintilla of sympathy for your shitbag team. NFL Gods and the Tuck Rule, fck outta here.
You know a team is in trouble when they start talking nonsense about "flipping a switch" come playoff time. VERY unPatriots like talk. This team could be one and done in the playoffs. It's been a long time coming we could finally be witnessing the beginning of the end of this nightmare. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/01/01/phillip-dorsett-weve-got-to-flip-the-switch/
