If they are high enough, I cut them some slack
What’s the best NFL game you’ve watched that didn’t involve your team

You would have had to see the game to understand how good it was.

More like Rugby with an occasional pass over the middle.
That 1983 draft completely changed the league.

There was nothing more lethal back then that Montana in the last minute when he had a chance to win.

Find it hard to believe it was more exciting that the best Manning-Brady matchup

It was still a flatscreen. One of those OG plasmasAnd yet you watched the game that you picked on an 18+ year old TV

Brady-Manning was an awesome match up, but us older dudes have the benefit of appreciating some of the classic matchups as well and witnessing how the game evolved. Montana vs Brady would have been the best theoretical match up ever.

I was very young when I watched that game and I didn't know as much about football as I do now so my overall "viewing experience" for that game probably wasn't very good. And apparently that matters here

A few months ago they showed the Sugar Bowl for the 1980 season where UGA beat Notre Dame to win the natty on the SEC Network. All 4 of UGA’s DB’s were white and the offense was only Herschel Walker running the ball and that was a championship winning team. Games back then just can’t compare to the modern game

Brady would have just mopped the floor with him. Hell, put Johnny Manziel in the NFL in 1982 and people would be calling him the best ever
Tube TVs were heavy. I've got a still-functional 36" tube TV I use for my retro gaming systems (Coleco, Atari, NES, etc.). You damn near need a forklift to move that thing.

Do you know how easy it was to get cocaine in 1982? Johnny Football would have died before the first game.

He would have just fit in better with his peers and been more accepted by the league
