Top Ten Single Season Defenses in NFL History: #5 1991 Philadelphia Eagles

Article Reissue: 3, July 2014

“In this study every season’s #1 defense, record setting defenses, trend setting defenses, and every Super Bowl & NFL championship defenses dating back to 1960. The nod would lend to those post the AFL/NFL merger of 1970. That wasn’t enough as now lets take each defense and cover what they did vs Pro Bowl QBs that season, 1,000 yard rushers, and playoff teams and talk about their effectiveness along with their statistics. Here turnovers forced is a big marker. Nothing watered down so a favorite team can’t be given favor. So The Chancellor of Football took over 200 defenses and boiled it down to this 11 article series and this was the 7th..”

A recurring theme that seems to be running through these greatest defenses were they had to carry anemic, inefficient offenses through the season. One such incident took place when the Philadelphia Eagles lost the 1990 NFL MVP Runner Up Randall Cunningham in the first week 1991. All appeared to be lost as they attempted to go on without their #1 weapon. This defense turned in one of the last truly great performances finishing #1 against the run, #1 against the pass, and obviously #1 overall.

When you carry a team that played five quarterbacks during the season, you’ve done something. We’re sure you remember that renowned NFL quarterback Brad Goebel or Pat Ryan, right?? Who?? Brad Goebel not Stan Gable…that’s a fictitious character from Revenge Of the Nerds.

As for real quarterbacks they had two games against the Redskins Mark Rypien, that year’s Super Bowl MVP. Two more against Hall of Famer Troy Aikman then one against Steve Young and Warren Moon. Also Hall of Fame members. All but Young made the Pro Bowl in 1991. They went 3-3 against them and held Young’s 49ers (#3 offensively) and Aikman’s Cowboys (#9 offensively) to less than 100 yards passing in two complete games that year.

Remember, Aikman and Young went on to face each other in 3 consecutive NFC Championships starting the following year and won the next four Super Bowls.

They faced 6 top 10 offenses going 3-3 against them. Defensively they held 6 opponents to 10 points or fewer. Two of those games were against top ten offenses as we mentioned earlier. Counting match-ups with divisional foes as individual games, 8 times they held their opposition to their lowest offensive output for the season.

1991 Pro Bowl members of the Eagles defense.

1991 Pro Bowl members of the Eagles defense.

Half the defense made the Pro Bowl starting with the late Reggie White, the late Jerome Brown, and Clyde Simmons from the defensive line. These three accounted for 37 of the Eagle’s 55 sacks. Those 3 alone had just 7 sacks fewer than the 2013 NFL champion Seahawks had as a team. OLB Seth Joyner (110 tck / 6.5 sacks / 6 ff /3 ints) and PFHoF CB Eric Allen who picked off 5.

The only reason SS Andre Waters didn't make the Pro Bowl was his reputation.

The only reason SS Andre Waters didn’t make the Pro Bowl was his reputation.

Amazingly the late SS Andre Waters didn’t make the Pro Bowl even though he had 156 tackles. It was he and FS Wes Hopkins that sent the early message in their signature game against the Oilers. Did you know starting the very next week, when others used their 13-6 destruction against Houston as a blueprint, stats diminished for the Run & Shoot?? This historic performance was the impetus for the abolition of the Run & Shoot as a complete offensive approach in the NFL.

In winning 7 of their last 8 attempting to make the playoffs, the quarterback rating allowed was around 40.0. For the season, 206 of 467 (44.1%) for 2,807 yards 16 TDs and 26 interceptions would get a quarterback cut and ripped by NFL Network or ESPN shows. Well this was the passing given up by the 91′ Eagles all year.

Or think of it like this: Look at the ’91 Eagles performance against 6 top 10 offenses and 4 HOF QBs. Compare those stats to Geno Smith who was the worst rated starting QB last year. Yes 32nd!!:

  • ’13 Geno Smith – 247 of 443 (55.8%) 3,046 yds 12tds 21 ints
  • ’91 Eagles – 206 of 467 (44.1%) for 2,807 yards 16 TDs and 26 interceptions

One of the best in history and #5 on The Chancellor of Football’s list.apicofme3.

Dedicated to the memories of: Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Andre Waters, Wes Hopkins, Mike Pitts, Buddy Ryan, and Bud Carson.

No Black Coaches Hired & Time For The Players To Take Action

by

0

Placism is still racism…

This has been long overdue. The NFL has been 67-72% black annually since the AFL/NFL Merger in 1970. In fact the 1st leaguue champion that had a majority of black team was the Kansas City Chiefs who won Super Bowl IV 56 years ago. Yet only coach’s sons who couldn’t play are the only one’s who can lead a team?? Know the “Xs” and “Os”?? Have meetings and teach techniques? Give me a break and now the branch of nepotism extends with the Cardinals hiring Mike LaFleur as their head coach. He is the brother of Packer Head Coach Matt LaFleur. All this to go with John & Jim Harbaugh with the Giants & Chargers respectively.

Especially given our political climate of black erasure our current President has spearheaded, the hiring of all 10 NFL HC openings and not one black coach named is a travesty and a choice. Its much more nefarious than that as mainstream media has turned into white writers backing white OCs pretending their all quarterback whisperers.

Funny but 6 months ago I wrote an article and showed that EVERY MAJOR NFL PASSING RECORD was held by quarterbacks led by defensive coaches with none held by any of these guys being touted. I had first described the media’s role of selectively omitting genius of black coordinators and here we are. What happened to Eric Bienemy in this race to anoint the next offensive mind if that was the real reason.

Bienemy was the Chiefs OC from 2018-2022 when Patrick Mahomes won 2 MVPs and Super Bowl LIV & LVII under his watch. Remember that team?? They scored a team record 565 points (’18) and Mahomes threw for a team record 50TDs. Wait I thought y0u were after offense? Wasn’t the 565 points 3rd most in NFL history? Yes right behind the ’13 Broncos (606 pts) & the ’07 undefeated Patriots (589 pts). So why wasn’t he hired again? Who do you think spread that rumor he didn’t interview well?

So you want offense but don’t hire the Offensive Coordinator of a record setting offense?? Hmmm?

He interviewed well enough to be hired back to the Chiefs as OC where ’18-22 his Chief offenses were 1st, 6th, 1st, 3rd, & 1st in his tenure. Yet they plummeted to 9th in ’23, 17th in ’24 & 20th in ’25 under OC Matt Nagy but he parted ways believing he would get a 2nd Head Coaching job? Hmmmmmmm…when Bienemy couldn’t?? So it isn’t about offensive prowess then huh? Didnt Bienemy have the NFC’s 5th highest passing yardage leader in Sam Howell (who?) with 3,946 yds passing in their only season together?? Wasn’t Matt Nagy the same quarterback whisperer who failed with 1st rounder Mitch Trubisky in Chicago? The best Trubisky ever threw for was 3,223?

On what planet would Nagy’s resume look better than Bienemy’s? You’re right… Nagy didnt get hired but a lot of others like him did. Ok Show me where their resumes outdo Bienemy’s?

What about Byron Leftwich who was Tampa’s Offensive Coordinator (7th ranked offense) that won Super Bowl LV?? Of course supremist detractors will just point to Tom Brady but he didnt call plays. How do we know this? For one he wouldn’t have been signaling 4th down looking for a play to come to him from Leftwich in that Thursday Night debacle in Chicago when he forgot the down. Remember that? Just reverse image search the Brady pic…

So if black offensive coordinators can’t get the nod you don’t even need me to bring up black wizard DC Brian Flores who has been covered by Taylor Blitz Times on multiple occasions as why he should be a Head Coach again.

The truth of the matter is NFL players are going to have to collude themselves and go play for the black coaches in the NFL only when it comes to free agency. They need to voice their opinion through their union and then force teams hands when they all consolidate their prowess on just a few teams. Once teams start losing top free agents and they start gathering only with those teams with black coaches will they bring other teams to the table.

Some players may have to sacrifice a few dollars but the greater good for the rest of the black players who wish to be taken seriously as coaches after their playing days will be the long term benefit. We either start our own league or consolidate all your power on just a few teams forcing Owners out of their prejudiced/racist edict of hiring just white coaches.

Just imagine if WRs George Pickens, Rashid Shaheed, Mike Evans, and RBs Kenneth Walker III, Travis Etienne, TE Kyle Pitts, & David Njoku all signed with Head Coach Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets. Then go get DE Josh Sweat, CBs DJ Reed, and Asante Samuel Jr. Since these are the biggest free agents of this year. What would happen if this happened over the next two years? Two years? Yeah…the 2nd offseason come back and snatch WR Justin Jefferson, Khalil Mack,  and Patrick Surtain II next year.

When they can’t sign important black free agents because they don’t have a black coach how fast do you think they’ll cave?

Its time to send American Football League sized shockwaves through the NFL Owners and front offices. Those that forced the NFL to merge and operate differently with the respect they had to afford the new league. Several of the coaches just hired are good coaches and wish them well… not Kevin Stefanski. Definitely not Kevin Stefanski… You’ll have to bring the current owners to their knees in much the same fashion. They won’t leave their placist/racist ways without being forced kicking and screaming. Its the only way…

Just sick of the prejudiced attitudes… time to make a move guys and the time is now!!

Terrell Owens & Bill Belichick’s First Ballot Hall of Fame Snubs

by

Can you tell the story of the National Football League without ______?? Were you among the best at your position for a 5 year period?? What historic feats did you perform during your career?? Feats…not one… feats! It goes beyond just the numbers…. its not The Hall of Accounting. Its the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Rarely do you hear from me on who should be a 1st ballot selection for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I just get excited to see that player or coach to get in. Until now. There isn’t a world where Bill Belichick and his 6 Super Bowls and 333 victories, just short of Don Shula’s 347, should be in Canton the second he was up. I waxed philosophically just a few articles ago why I thought the Buffalo Bills should have hired him. Its abysmal to have media members who vote enact a vendetta against a player or coach who earned their way to cementing their legacies in the PFHoF.

No one anywhere appreciates the PFHoF as I do as I have written letters and articles here advocating for players and coaches. What bothers me is now we’re going to have media members pay back Belichick because he was caustic in press conferences. This isn’t about your personal feelings, this is about honoring the integrity of The Hall and you’re a steward to ensure those deserving make it. Especially when it comes to coaches who are more advanced in age retirement wise vs players. He is 73 years of age and tomorrow is not promised.

You want the Hall of Famer to be able to enjoy the honor among family, teammates and furthermore to be ambassadors of the game. I watched the late Kevin Greene addressing an All America High School team and saw how those players eyes wide and quiet enough to hear a pin drop. You knew they understood they were listening to greatness. In a world devoid of this due to immediate and empty social media type popularity we need more to inspire others to aspire to be the best they can be.

Those who had the greatest careers and deserve to be in on the 1st ballot earned that right. A competitor wants to be the best and have that one up on their contemporaries. To have that stripped away by some writer who was jealous of your success and voting against you to get some revenge is horrible. Are there prejudices that are rearing their head as well?

I thought this when Terrell Owens was passed over when he was up to make the PFHOF on a first ballot in 2017. I applaud him for standing up but held indifference when he decided not to attend the 2018 ceremony and had his own at University of Tennessee Chatanooga. I owe T.O. an apology as I thought he should have attended the festivities in Canton. In the weeks leading up to the ceremony I rememeber having a back and forth with his former receivers Coach Ray Sherman and 49er teammate Derrick Deese on my old Facebook page that went on for several days. Not going in on the 1st ballot cut T.O. deep.

I was invited to attend the enshrinement ceremonies and went to everything. The Gold Jacket Dinner, Enshrinement Ceremony, Jerry Kramer’s party the day of Enshrinement, and the Sunday Round Table Discussion with the enshrinees. On social media I heard so much venom from white fans and I worried it would carry over to the events. I applaud then President David Baker as every time he addressed the audience he made sure to mention Terrell Owens respecfully and when there were murmurs in the audience (Gold Jacket on Thursday) he reiterated “he is a Hall of Famer and we respect his decision and he’s welcome here!” and set the tone the rest of the weekend. I got the chance to thank him for that at the end of the  ceremony.

That Saturday getting ready for the Enshrinement Ceremony I watched TO’s ceremony online at his alma mater and it was bittersweet. He should have been in Canton but due to voters who were holding a grudge didn’t vote him in on 1st ballot.

Its time to reorganize the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting. We need some new blood in the arena and some independent voices need to be included who love this game and not leave it to just sportswriters. I, The Chancellor of Football would like a Hall of Fame vote.

After thanking then PFHoF David Baker

Too many old timers are holding grudges, forming subcommittees negotiating “vote for my guy and I’ll vote for yours.” They’re also campaigning against players and coaches which is an embarrassment for Canton.

In 2016 I can remember Kenny Stabler being selected posthumously who should have been in years before. There wasn’t a dry eye in that Gold Jacket arena when his grandson came up to to the stage to accept his HOF crest. Think to Steve McMichael’s enshrinement at home in Chicago. Or former Bengal Reggie Williams today expressing the angst and disappointment his teammate Ken “The Rattler” Riley felt on being overlooked by Canton for many years. He was another voted in posthumously.

Lets stop playing games when legacies are at stake. Make an exception and put Belichick in!!

Kiss the rings.

Overcoaching: Vol 3. Super Bowl XLIX Edition

by

0

Reissued Aritcle: 9, February 2014

“One of the dumbest calls in Super Bowl history that robbed the Seattle Seahawks from establishing a dynasty. Became the turning point in the way Russell Wilson was seen as a leader. He lost his PFHoF status on the goal line in Pheonix and his descent in stature began at that point. Its impossible to see the Seahawks v Patriots in the Super Bowl and not think back to the game and that stupid call at the goal line. Do you realize the play run was the exact same play concept the Tennessee Titans ran that didn’t work in Super Bowl XXXIV?? They just ran it with Kevin Dyson cutting behind TE Frank Wycheck. Gave you the link. Go look… but after you read this…”

Super Bowl XLIX was a great game but the end left a lot of fans empty as Seattle opted for a pass from the 1 with seconds left to play. Immediately I railed it was the worst play call in Super Bowl history on social media. Many former NFLers agreed. So after a small hiatus my thought hadn’t changed and now it was time to revisit another classic case of overcoaching in the NFL.

First off… if anyone thinks the Seattle  throwing that pass at the one yard line was the right play call, then they think Vince Lombardi called the wrong play on the final play of the Ice Bowl. Its that simple. One of his philosophies played out at the goal line during the final seconds of both the 1966 & 1967 NFL Championship Games.

Lombardi’s philosophy was in a pressure situation, players would make mistakes in Tom Landry’s complicated offense. The Cowboys had the ball at the 2 with less than 2 minutes to go down 34-27. They had momentum and had just scored on the drive previous. True to form T Jim Bokeim had a false start… remember they did a lot of shifting on the line. On the final play, which was a rollout, RG Leon Donohue ran past Packer LB Dave Robinson instead of blocking him. Robinson hurried Don Meredith into a game ending endzone interception.

The rubber match for the Ice  Bowl (1967 championship) saw the reverse as the Packers were down to the 2 yard line with less than 2 minutes to go. After two plays and a final timeout, Green Bay was at the 1 with :16 left down 17-14. Where Tom Landry was heard yelling “watch Starr on the rollout”, Lombardi’s Packers went with a QB sneak to win the game. A simplified play.  Years later in recalling Lombardi’s philosophy, G Jerry Kramer said “When the game or life is on the line, you don’t gamble and you put your faith in the defensive player’s chest.”

A philosophy the Seattle Seahawks had believed in until the 1 minute mark of Super Bowl XLIX. Some new age philosophies have made coaches overthink and overcoach situations lately. Ever since that Monday Night game where Brian Westbrook had that breakaway run at the end of the game against the Dallas Cowboys and slid down to run out the clock, people have been overcoaching end of game scenarios.

03_ball_grand_canyon_1_hi_nat1366However I said it right after…that was the same play call the Titans went with in Super Bowl XXXIV when Mike Jones tackled Kevin Dyson at the 1 yard line also. That stacked receiver slant is 0-2 in late Super Bowl moments. Truth is they should have run the ball twice with the read option and kept it on the ground. They should have immediately run a play after Lynch made it to the 1.

Fist lets take a look at the early stages of the game when Marshawn Lynch scored to tie the game at 7.

You’ll note the first run Lynch face initial contact at the 9 ans made it to the 6 1/2 yard line. Then on the touchdown he faced initial contact at the two and powered to more than a yard into the endzone. He’s the best contact runner since Corey Dillon and he was constantly falling forward during the game.

Now we get to the fateful last plays of Super Bowl XLIX.

Had Seattle rushed to the line of scrimmage with the 1:06 left (after Lynch made it to the 1) New England may have let them score (another bone head new age move) to ensure Brady would have a chance with the football and more clock. Don’t tell me Belichick doesn’t think that way because he was lauded for his taking a late game safety against Denver 10 years ago so the Patriots would get the ball back with time and field position… Had Seattle got up and rushed to the line, New England also wouldn’t have sent in their goal line 3 corners package where Seattle would have been better suited to block. Wasn’t that why Pete Carroll said they were wasting a play??

By not rushing back to the line the Seahawks overcoached the situation. There comes a time where coaches have to drop those silly play charts and coach on guts. Lynch had gained positive yards after contact on all of his runs. Even his last carry he broke a tackle at the 4 and made it to the 1. Had they hurried and faced the same defense the next play you don’t think he scores from the 1?? That same personnel he powered through for their first touchdown and 3 yards after contact.

Bill Belichick was saving all of his timeouts and let the clock run down to :32 seconds before Seattle snapped the football.

Yet alas Malcolm Butler ended the Seahawks bid for back to back Super Bowl championships. Coaches have to get back to owning each situation and score first and win the game. Don’t sit and speculate when you can or even if you will score on a later play. You just have to trust your defense. If you can think back to Super Bowl XLVI between the Patriots and the Giants, Ahmad Bradshaw tried not to score when he “accidently” fell in the endzone. Taking a 17-15 lead, the Giant defense held off Tom Brady in that one. You have to rely on your defense.

Another clear case of overcoaching and now Seattle has to let this fester as they ponder an opportunity lost. It could fuel their trip to Super Bowl L in San Francisco’s new stadium. Stay tuned…

Super Bowl LX: Sam Darnold Has A Chance To Become An Elite Quarterback

by

Sam Darnold is arriving at Super Bowl LX much like Jim Plunkett arrived at Super Bowl XV many moons ago. A 1st round draft pick who was a bust & the team that drafted him jettisoned him off like garbage. He had become a punchline with his “seeing ghosts” comment while being interviewed after a game in New York. Had stops at Carolina and San Fran before taking the Vikings to a 14-3 season last year and then dumped for unproven JJ McCarthy. The Vikings opting for #9 unstated told us they believed Darnold’s last 2 games in ’24 over the first 16.

Minnesota had their best record dating back to their 2009 NFC Championship Game run with Brett Favre at the helm. However all year long fans (and quietly the Vikings brass) waited for the shoe to drop & the jittery knock kneed Darnold of old would show up. He didn’t until a winner take all for the NFC Championship Game against Detroit where he had his worst game of the season. On a Sunday Night with the nation watching he went 18 of 41 for 166 yards in a 31-9 undressing in a game that didn’t appear that close.

It all fell apart with a 27-9 loss in the wildcard round to Los Angeles. Darnold was sacked 9 times and never had his team in the game. They were down 24-3 at the half and the Vikings had seen enough. In the offseason they gave him a low ball 1 year contract and Darnold left for Seattle. Had he really turned his career around? Was the ’24 season he had in Minnesota a mirage??

  • ’24 Vikings season: 361 of 545 – 4,319 yds 35TDs 12 ints. (7.92 yds per att.)
  • ’25 Seahawks season: 323 of 477 -4,048 yds 4,048 yds 25TDs 14ints. (8.48 yds per att.)

The truth of the matter is that gaudy 8.48 yards per attempt is 2nd in the league to Drake Maye. If you’re new here I wrote out on Dec 9th “The Lie Behind Quarterback Passer Rating & Several Useless Statistics” where I told you yards per attempt is the statistic that equates to team success not passer rating… well #1 and #2 in yards per attempt are facing off in LX or 1st vs 11th in passer rating … yet I digress

The truth of the matter we kept holding our breath waiting for Darnold to falter in the end like he did last year, check it… how he has dating back to the 2018 draft. Its not that he rode the coat tails of his team to make it to Santa Clara, he outgunned Matthew Stafford in a career defining NFC Championship Game. Throwing for 346 yards going 25 of 36 with 3TDs. When he came out and hit Rasheed Shehee with that 51 yard bomb 0n the first drive you knew he came to play. He was laughed out of Sofi Stadium losing to the Rams and ultimately his job and came back to excorcise several demons.

To see him stay the course, make the adjustments in his career when he could have slunked away as the draft bust he came to be known for, its impossible to not pull for him. He just stared down his bully in the NFC Championship Game and carved a Ram defense up that gave him nightmares in ’24. He is one game away from validating his 3rd pick in the NFL draft status with his performance in LX.

LOL Now he is in a Super Bowl where fellow draftees who have won NFL MVPs in Lamar Jackson & Josh Allen have to sit and watch and neither have made it this far. Neither has 1st pick in the draft Baker Mayfield. He wins this game and you have to call him an elite quarterback. Period. With new information we have to change our perspectives.

You’re one game away. San Darnold… Your mission, should you choose to accept it…

Super Bowl XLVI Preview:Bill Belichick & His Place In History

The best coach of the last 50 years and possibly in the history of the NFL

Reissue of Article: 31, January 2012

“With the disgraceful indignity of not being a 1st ballot Hall of Famer this week,I thought it a great time to rehash an article discussing his place some 14 Super Bowls ago. If I was telling you he would rank with Vince Lombardi had he triumphed, where does it leave him now he coached in another 4 Super Bowls after this game winning XLIX, LI, and LIII. He even lost another one to the Eagles in LII. Think about that a second…

For the idiots saying it was all Tom Brady. Who do you think taught him all that situational football to be that prepared? Don’t be a dummy. Anyway…”

When you talk of the great coaches in NFL history, even the ardent Patriot hater has to put Bill Belichick on the short list. If his team leaves Lucas Oil Stadium with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, it’s namesake will be the only coach he can be compared to. It would be his fourth championship as a head coach and sixth overall. All of this coming in the modern era with player movement in true free agency?? Yikes!! You’d have to look at it like this… Vince Lombardi was the greatest coach in the first 50 years of NFL history (1920-1969) and Belichick would be the greatest from 1970 to the present.

How can we say that?? First let’s dispel the “Spy Gate” situation. In a game of simulated war with blitzes and bombs and protecting zone areas on a field / map: wouldn’t you expect some sort of espionage?? Dont forget that in 1958 John Steadman of the Baltimore Sun Times reported that Baltimore Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom had an assistant watch the New York Giants practice before the NFL Championship Game. Rosenbloom assured him that if he were caught, he’d have a job for life with the team. Watch the NFL Films production on the 1958 Championship and you can hear it first hand.

A long time I watched Bill’s work.

Then somewhere in the 60’s to put an end to this, Pete Rozell put in Tuesday film swap day. That way the teams could share intel on each other to put the spy thing to bed. Yet everyone is always trying to steal other team’s signals. Fast forward to Bill Walsh in 1979 who was the first to script his 15 plays and have an elaborate sheet with plays in front of him.  He was the first head coach to be completely under a headset all game long. Whenever he would call plays he would use his play sheet to cover his mouth to protect himself from lip readers. This practice is still in place today. Watch the playcaller on the sideline and where once teams had elaborate hand signals, now hold up a play sheet. Quarterbacks have transmitters in their helmets now.

So quit hawking Belichick about that already. Now back to what we were saying…

If you look at his tenure against other coaches from 1970 on, you can’t come up with a more successful coach. He just made his 5th Super Bowl to tie Tom Landry. If he wins he’ll have tied Chuck Noll with 4 Super Bowl titles. Yet what sets him apart is only Tom Brady remains from his 2001 championship where Noll won with primarily the same players.

Hell, only 1 defensive starter remains from the 2007 defense that went 16-0. That would be Vince Wilfork. Noll never returned to the Super Bowl and only made 1 AFC Championship after the 70’s run. Belichick has won with 3 incarnations of the Patriots since 2001. Tom Landry and Don Shula did that but neither could get past 2 championships with Belichick going for number 4. Which would put him ahead of Bill Walsh who has 3.

So it’s at this point, the New York Giants are the gatekeepers to history. With this win Belichick will ascend to the rank of the greatest coach in the last 50 years of the NFL. Ironically he won his first two as a defensive co-ordinator for the New York Giants. Another irony is he doesn’t seem to be close to retirement. If there are other championships in his future he would even have to best Lombardi and be thought of as the greatest ever coach.
