Saw this tweet pop up on my feed today. A bunch of familiar names from the past thus the placement in this thread.
However...
The thing that caught my attention is how the game has evolved over the past couple decades from a player safety and officiating standpoint:
Anyway, enjoy this blast from the past!
However...
The thing that caught my attention is how the game has evolved over the past couple decades from a player safety and officiating standpoint:
- The bone-jarring hits that would be flagged today.
- The almost certain concussion Beebe likely suffered - not once, but twice - yet he still returned to the game.
- The likely overrule of a TD on Beebe's long game-clinching TD catch that today would've been ruled down at the 1 yd line.
Anyway, enjoy this blast from the past!

There's a few things that come to mind when seeing that clip [mention]APB[/mention]
1. Man Favre was fun watching.
2. Sanders really was just amazing.
3. ... Football was just more fun then.

Is interesting to see how much blame they lay on the QB's back then for 'leading their WR's' into those hits.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑14 Apr 2023 09:15There's a few things that come to mind when seeing that clip @APB

Definitely a different game back then.
Also welcome back! Don't think I've seen you round these parts in a hot minute.

I have this vague memory of Packers Plus magazine occasionally knocking Favre for that kind of throw. Didn't Freeman's broken arm happen on a similar play?BF004 wrote: ↑14 Apr 2023 12:11Is interesting to see how much blame they lay on the QB's back then for 'leading their WR's' into those hits.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑14 Apr 2023 09:15There's a few things that come to mind when seeing that clip @APB

Thanks! I never truly go away, but I certainly have become a lurker these days.
