In case you’re still not over Tom Brady, don’t trust Cam Newton (why would you) and still need a new veteran quarterback with all sorts of accolades to root for, you may want to start paying attention to Allison Cahill. On Wednesday it was announced that Cahill was named the Women’s Football Alliance National Football Conference Most Valuable Player. The MVP is the fourth of Cahill’s career. Since beginning to…

July 22, 2021

We’re down to single digits in our 25 day celebration after today, so before we finish up with a few more key pieces to the puzzle and a look back at the postseason wins, there’s one major aspect of the season we haven’t really talked much about yet.

We’ve had mostly positive things to reminisce about during our 25 day project, but today we take a look at a 12-6 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys on December 15, 1996. The score wasn’t pretty, but it was a very important day confidence wise for the young defense and coordinator Al Groh.

Day 10 – 25 Days celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1996 AFC title

July 16, 2021

The Patriots’ offense in 1996 can honestly be considered one of the best in team history, at least as far as rankings go. That season, Drew Bledsoe, Curtis Martin, Terry Glenn, Shawn Jefferson, Ben Coates and other contributors helped New England finish second in the NFL in points scored. Aside from the 2007 offense, how many times in recent memory has there ever been an offense that prolific residing in…
