CanadianChris Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 2,105 yards is a little scared right now.
razazteca Posted December 29, 2003 Author Report Posted December 29, 2003 I forgot about the Perfect Season by the Dolphins. How many players are still in the league just to pad their records? Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice?
Kahran Ramsus Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 I forgot about the Perfect Season by the Dolphins. How many players are still in the league just to pad their records? Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice? The perfect season is the Holy Grail of NFL records.
Mik Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 So it's hidden under the inverted pyramid in the entrance to the Louvre?
Gert T Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 I'd like to add Favre's consecutive games streak at QB and whoever has the consecutive games streak at all positions. And Jerry Rice is not around to pad his stats, it wouldn't matter anyway, as his stats are just out of anybody's league. It'll have to take somebody with the mixture of his caliber of talent, work ethic, and longetivity.
Vern Gagne Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Johnny Unitas. 47 consecutive games with at least 1 TD pass.
Damaramu Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Rice was a god. And the fact that he worked with Joe Montana and Steve Young didn't hurt him to much either. And back in his day there seemed to be so many godlike QB's around. It seemed just about every team had one that went down as an all time great. These days...a couple.
HarleyQuinn Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 I'd say Marino's 48 TD passes won't be broken anytime soon
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Nor his 5,084 yards passing in a season.
HarleyQuinn Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Other possible sacred records.. 410 rushing attempts by Jamal Anderson in 1998 112.8 passer rating in a season by Steve Young in 1994 691 pass attempts by Drew Bledsoe in 1994 404 pass completions by Warren Moon in 1991 14 INT's by Dick Lane in 1952 176 points in a season by Paul Hornung in 1960
Guest BobbyWhioux Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 I believe "Night Train" Lane still holds the record for most interceptions in a season, with 14 (in the 12 game season days, no less). Good luck breaking that. Any guy good enough to pick off that many balls, and people will just stop throwing to their side of the field faster than you can say "Deion Sanders." [Oh, heh, Harley Quinn mentioned that one already... okay, lemme think of another one] 6 touchdowns in a game by Gayle Sayers? Well, if we're counting the perfect season... how about Three Consecutive World Championships? Nobody's done it in the Super Bowl Era, though if you go back before it Lombardi's Packers managed it (1965, 66, and 67). Which also made for 5 championships in a seven year span. I highly doubt anyone will ever do that. Especially now that parity and the salary cap are the laws of the land.
HarleyQuinn Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 -Priest Holmes scoring 27 TD's to break Marshall Faulk's 26 TD's in a season record -Priest Holmes scoring 27 Rushing TD's to break Emmitt Smith's 25 TD's in a season record -Anquan Boldin's 101 catches as a rookie breaks the 90 catches by Terry Glenn record -Mike Vanderjagt's 41 consecutive FG's without missing breaks the record of 40 by Gary Anderson Any others I'm missing? Also Bobby, I believe Peyton had 6 TD passes on a Sunday Night game this year vs the Saints so I wouldn't call it quite untouchable as some others mentioned.
razazteca Posted December 29, 2003 Author Report Posted December 29, 2003 The Houston Texans had a pair of rookies get 1000 yards in the same season (Johnson & Davis) Both are also candidates for ROTY.
CanadianChris Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Bruce Smith's 200 sacks (career). Although, as I'm sure has been pointed out many times, Deacon Jones probably got that many sacks in three seasons.
Bored Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Jerry Rice has already been mentioned but his best record that probably will never be broken is his 22 touchdown receptions in only 12 games in 1987, due to the strike with one cancelled game and three "scab" games. Sterling Sharpe had 18 in 1994 and that is the closest anyone has got since and probably no one will reach it only 12 games played. His single season receiving yards record of 1848 yards in 1995 seems harder to reach than expected. Every other year someone seems to be on pace to break it, Torry Holt was the guy this year, but can't get within 100 yards of the record since Rice set it. Funny enough Issac Bruce is 2nd with 1781 yards and that was also in 1995.
Dr. Tom Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 The perfect season. There's just no reason to do it anymore, since teams now focus on remaining healthy for the playoffs, as they should. It doesn't matter if you swept the regular season... if you get bounced in your first playoff game because your star RB tore up his knee carrying you to that precious 16th win, what did you really accomplish? Johnny Unitas' 47 straight games with a TD pass. That's three full seasons, less one game, in a row throwing a TD pass. That's just not going to happen. Dan Marino's 48 TD passes in one season. Peyton Manning led the league this year. Guess how many he had? 29. Yeah, that's good -- almost 2 a game, in fact -- but Marino averaged 3 TD passes a game for the entire season. That's just insane. With defenses geared toward the pass these days, an average od 3 TD passes a game just isn't going to happen anymore.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 I'm going with a perfect season -- this also includes the postseason as well...
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Dan Marino's 48 TD passes in one season. Peyton Manning led the league this year. Guess how many he had? 29. Yeah, that's good -- almost 2 a game, in fact -- but Marino averaged 3 TD passes a game for the entire season. That's just insane. With defenses geared toward the pass these days, an average od 3 TD passes a game just isn't going to happen anymore. Marino has the 2nd highest total, as well (44). Kurt Warner passed for 41 in 1999. Any reason you didn't include his single-season yardage record, as well? To break it, a QB would need to average 318 yards/game for the entire season. Kurt Warner came the closest (in 2001), but he still fell 254 yards short.
Dr. Tom Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Any reason you didn't include his single-season yardage record, as well? Yes. I think it's a tough record to break, but it's not untouchable. Warner challenged it a few years ago. Gannon made a run at it last year. Yes, both eventually fell short, but to me, the yeardage mark seems easier to attain than the touchdown record. A team that falls behind a lot and is forced to pass could see their QB pile up the yardage, but not necessarily the TDs.
Guest Redhawk Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Lenny Moore scored a touchdown in 18 straight games, I believe. Rich Gannon came close to Marino's yardage record in '01, so it's not unreachable, especially with the way teams pass more often. 7 sacks in one game (Derrick Thomas vs. Seattle in 1990, I think) seems like a hell of a task. So does 330 receiving yards in one game (Flipper Anderson vs. New Orleans, 1991 or so)
MarvinisaLunatic Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 I dont think any team will go 0-16 again no matter how bad they are. Teams will always get lucky and win at least 1 game...
razazteca Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Posted December 30, 2003 Who has the record for the most fumbles in a game?
razazteca Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Posted December 30, 2003 I dont think any team will go 0-16 again no matter how bad they are. Teams will always get lucky and win at least 1 game... Steve Spurrier has to be the 1st to lose both as a player and coach.
Gert T Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Who has the record for the most fumbles in a game? If I had to make a half-ass guess I would say Tiki Barber! Maybe Dave Krieg since he has the most all-time fumbles.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Most fumbles (total lost and recovered) 7 Len Dawson, Kansas City vs. San Diego, Nov. 15, 1964 More recently: 6 Brett Favre, Green Bay vs. Tampa Bay, Dec. 7, 1998 5 Steve Beuerlein, Carolina vs. San Francisco, Nov. 8, 1998
Vern Gagne Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 7 sacks in one game (Derrick Thomas vs. Seattle in 1990, I think) seems like a hell of a task. Possible. But not likely. Either way, the Sack is such an overrated stat who cares who holds the record.
2GOLD Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Most coaches post game blow ups -Jim Mora 39 The only guy who would hold a mid week press conference and snap because one of his third string wide outs dropped a slant route pass. Mr Raven came close this year but he missed it by about 5.
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Rich Gannon came close to Marino's yardage record in '01, so it's not unreachable, especially with the way teams pass more often. Gannon put up 4,689 yards in 2002, a full 400 yards off the record. I still don't see anybody breaking that record.
