    The punt on 4th down one is funny because in years since this first aired. NFL coaches have no doubt started going for it on 4th down waaaaay more than they used to and have found success

    Phil Villapiano always has the best commentary. You know this man has lived through some shit on those raiders teams
  • @julianbell9161
    Jason Garrett has proven that icing his own kicker is a guaranteed way to make a kicker miss

    Defence won championships when they were allowed to kill the quarterbacks.

    #9 is not a myth anymore. 6 of the 8 repeat SB Champs were before the salary cap. 6 times in 28 seasons before the salary cap, and only twice in 25 seasons since.

    “Run can set up the pass!!!!” Ummm yes but the pass can set up the run too. Football, in my opinion, is half mind games.
  • @mcleanse1382
    Talk to the Gritz Blitz who gave up under 10 ppg and didn't even make the playoffs in 1977. Defense doesn't always win games let alone championships.

    I have the perfect no. 1 myth simply because it really isn’t true period. The No. 1 NFL Myth of all Time: A college team can beat an NFL team.
  • Belichik started going for it inside the opponents 40-35 yard line on fourth down. Net yardage on a punt is minimal, now everyone does it.

    The reason that rookie head coaches don't win (for the most part) is that first year they're usually taking over a team that sucks to begin with. Case in point, I'll give you two of the greatest head coaches of all time, Tom Landry & Chuck Noll. As a rookie head coach in 1960 Landry led the Dallas Cowboys to an 0-11-1 record. The Cowboys were also a first year expansion team. He wasn't going to win with that team no matter what he did, no one would have. As a rookie head coach in 1969 Noll led the Steelers to a 1-13 record. Well guess what? The Steelers had five straight losing seasons before Noll got there, Including a 2-11-1 mark in 1968. The Steelers just plain sucked, no one was going to with with that team either.

    The old Raiders of the 70s have some of the best commentary

    When i played highschool ball, we had 2 quarter backs. 1 with a decent, accurate arm. Other had a rocket arm. 1st guy got the starting job. Mr Rocket tried to knock down the receivers when he threw. Half the time, the ball was nearly un-catchable on short passes. We tried to tell him so many times. "Dude stop throwing so fucking hard, on short passes"
  • It's worth mentioning that this was recorded in 2012 but the episode was from 2008. A lot has changed between 2020 and 2008/2012.
  • "Dome Teams are soft." Idk about that. When the Rams used to play in St. Louis, they always gave my Seahawks trouble.
  • 2:11 Accurate Tackle Statistics. 5:56 Dynasties attempts back-to-back Super Bowl championships. 9:17 Always punt the ball on 4th Down. 13:29 Domed Teams are soft than a pillow. 16:42 Call timeouts on placekickers. 21:40 Quarterbacks with rocket arms. 25:05 Run -> then set up the pass. 29:36 Can't lose your roles while getting injured. 34:40 Defenses wins Super Bowls and championships. 40:05 The prevent defenses stops opposing team chances of winning.
