I agree this should've made it. There could've been two Patriots what if in this top 10. What if no Belichick hiring and what if Bledsoe never got injured.
Honestly I think Brady could have easily beat out Bledsoe the way Romo did in Dallas. In The Brady Six documentary Belicheck had said Brady had looked better in the preseason. He also said the only reason they didn’t start him over Bledsoe was because of his inexperience.
Mr. Gentlezombie They did give two answers. If they had never merged, then that means no Super Bowls and Football is far less likely to be the nation's #1 sport. Still one of the big 3, but not the biggest. They only then go on to say, "Lets be serious, it still would have eventually happened later on."
Yup. It was a multi-million dollar game of chicken and something had to give. Both Hunt and Rozell knew pro football was well on its way to overtaking baseball as the national sport and knew they stood to make a killing off of it. For them to keep fighting until someone folded (as Al Davis would have wanted), it would have been a catastrophe and professional football probably would have returned to it's free wheeling days before the NFL existed.
I found it amusing that they claimed that you couldn't have two leagues for the same sport. Last time I checked, there were two pro baseball leagues that, until the late 1990s, only met twice a year, for the All-Star game and the World Series. That seems to have worked out pretty well.
I have to believe you guys forgot in my mind what is the biggest "what if" in football ever. What if Drew Brees signed with the Miami Dolphins. If drew brees signs with the dolphins Nick Saban dolphins HC at the time doesn't go to the Alabama crimson Tide. They dont dominate college football like they are right now. If drew brees signs with the Dolphins then Tom Brady and the Patriots do not win the division every year. Brady doesn't go to the super bowl as many times and he doesn't have as many rings with Drew Brees in the same division as him
Sean A how is he overrated he brung our team to the playoffs every single year until he went to jail you don’t know what it is like to live in Atlanta back then it’s hard I know what mike vick did was wrong and he accepted and when he got out he changed and showed people how good he is on the inside don’t you every disrespect someone like that who has used THERE OWN MONEY to supply families with dogs of their choices
Then the Falcons don't go 3-13. The Falcons then don't draft Matt Ryan and continue to be middle of the pack for years to come. The Falcons don't blow a 28-3 lead to the Pats.
My head hurt when Rank brought that map up. So we'd have the LA Raiders, Jacksonville Rams, Arizona Jags, St Louis Ravens, Indianapolis Cardinals, Baltimore Colts. I know it's all fun and games and it's funny but that hurt my head thinking about that
The St. Louis team would more than likely not be the Ravens. It'd be some mascot not in sports yet probably, since the Cardinals and Browns are already taken
Phoenix already had an expansion franchise on the table u can look it up, they even hired Bart Starr I believe it was to be their gm, they were going to be called the Phoenix Firebirds
@@mr.cardguy7635 To be exact, this 2021 has the Jacksonville Rams, Arizona Firebirds, St. Louis Stallions (after Art Modell's botched relocation), Indianapolis Cardinals, Los Angeles Raiders ("The Greatest Show in Hollywood" as Al Davis dubs them), Baltimore Colts (the pride of Charm City), and the Las Vegas Chargers. Also, in case you missed it, there is the Carolina Panthers, and Bud Adams moved the Oilers to Nashville (but don't worry, Houston got the Texans - here, they are a decent team instead of a Texas-sized tire fire).
What if Belichick took the Browns to the Super Bowl, with the result that Art Modell never moved the team to Baltimore, and Belichick remained in Cleveland for several years? What if Barry Sanders went to a better team? What if Brady hadn't been accepted by Michigan? What if he'd gone to California, and gotten to know his coach, Steve Mariucci, who talked Bill Walsh into drafting him for the 49ers, despite him not fitting into the West Coast Offense? You can play this game forever. We could have an entire season of NFL What Ifs. This is fun.
What if Jimmy Johnson had stayed as the Dallas Cowboys Head Coach? That team under his coaching was poised to 3-peat and the Cowboys would have been the greatest dynasty ever to have won 4 Super Bowls in a row and Jimmy Johnson would have been a 1st Ballot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame already. Jimmy leaving was like a masterpiece left unfinished, it still stings to this very day.
The segment on Bo Jackson should have included what might have happened in the next game. In fact, the Raiders were demolished by the Bills. Would the Raiders have won the game if they had Bo? If so, they would have gone to Super Bowl 25 against the Giants. And they should have included something regarding the USFL. If they had gotten the billion dollar judgement they were hoping for in the antitrust lawsuit against the NFL they may have been able to force a merger, which would give Donald Trump ownership of an NFL team on the cheap. Then maybe he doesn’t run for president.
I highly doubt it matters. The Bills won 51-3. The Raiders D had no answer for the Bills no-huddle offense. I’m not sure how much longer Bo could have been doing what he did. He was already a 28 year old running back, and it’s so taxing on the body to play another sport in the offseason. The USFL would have been a good mention.
@Harry Engel What if.. The Colts kept Peyton and traded the Luck pick for 4+ 1st rounders.. Whoops.. it is on the list.. Still... no way in hell would they have drafted Trent Richardson at one.. they could have traded down to 3rd gotten him plus 3 extra first rounders most likely..
Ajay Lindbo 19-0. Brady doesn't get hurt in 08 because the pats don't face KC week 1. Pats go 14-2 in 08, Brady wins his 2nd MVP, roll through the playoffs beating Arizona in superbowl 43 winning back to back championships and making Brady and Belichick 5-0 in superbowls. 2009 rolls around and because Brady isn't coming off of injury plays better. Pats have a better record going 12-4 instead of 10-6 and get a 1st round bye. The Pats then dont face the ravens and the Pats make it to superbowl 44 and beat the saints, giving the Patriots the most rings with 6, the 1st team to 3 peat, and Brady and Belichick are 6-0 in superbowls before 2010. Therefore in present day Brady and Belichick are now 8-2 in superbowls and only lose to the giants once. The Pats are considered the greatest team in NFL history and Brady is the undisputed Goat, because he has doubled Montana's SB wins, with a 19-0 season, and a 3 peat as the cherries on top.
I think they go on to win 3 straight super bowls, they blow the Bills out, that hit allowed Steve Young to become Steve Young, I think if they 3 peat, they go back to at least 2 more super bowls, forcing SF to trade Steve Young, would have been interesting to see a Joe Montana led team play in those NFC Championship game loses to the Cowboys
@@devinrahney9143 Right. Montana stays healthy, and at the top of his game like he was, then there is no 90s Dallas team worth remembering much. It might have been SF vs Buffalo 3 or 4 years straight.
I think we are all forgeting that the Odell catch wouldn't have happened. If that would have happened then odell wouldn't be famous. He'd be a wannabe who never was AMAZING. He wouldn't be on sneaker shopping with complex, it would be like AB or Gronk on the cover of madden 16, Gronk would win, and he would be everyone's favorite offensive receiver even tho he is a tight end. Jesus christ
You would have a combination of history between the Ravens and Pats. Imagine the Ravens defense of 2000, combined with a young Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Browns would have 8 Super Bowls and be the greatest dynasty in the history of pro football
You don't know what you're talking about. Most people have accepted it was the right call, but a poor rule. The tuck rule was used against the Patriots in a regular season game that same season. Try being less bias next time, I know the patriots success breeds hate
What if vinatari did not make those clutch Super Bowl field goals. What if the refs called PI on Nickel Robey-Coleman in the NFC championship against the saints What if Gary Anderson made that NFC championship field goal What if Dan Reeves catches a touchdown pass in the 1966 championship What if Kevin Dyson made that touchdown in the Super Bowl
They should have changed #1 to "What if Lamar Hunt was allowed to buy the Chicago Cardinals and move them to Dallas?" The only reason why Hunt decided to establish the AFL was that he wanted to put a pro football team in Dallas. After the NFL denied his purchase, which allowed the Cardinals to move to St. Louis, Hunt gathered 7 other people to form the new league. Also, this means the Dallas Cowboys as we know them today do not exist because they were created to counter the AFL. So we would have the Dallas Cardinals. (or Texans).
This is exactly what happened in MLB at the exact same time. After the baseball Giants and Dodgers moved to the west coast, NY lawyer Joe Shea proposes a third 8-team major league within the MLB framework, the Continental League, with of course a team in New York. As soon as this looked like it might become real,the AL and NL expanded and with one of the teams in NY, Shea's mission is accomplished and the Continental League never happened. Also, it was Cards owner Bidwill, not the NFL, that wouldn't let Hunt buy the team. Bidwill wanted to move the Cards but didn't want to pay the NFL's huge relocation fee. Bidwill was looking for a sugar daddy to help him financially while at the same time retaining full control. As soon as the AFL was announced, the NFL waived the fee and allowed Bidwill to move to STL to deny that area to the AFL.
With this in mind, I'll go with the Dallas Texans here - Lamar Hunt would want his franchise to have its own history, especially considering the Cardinals were the NFL's doormats at that time. In this timeline, while the AFL is averted (at least as we know it), you would still have expansion in the 1960s, with Houston (as a rival to Dallas), Minnesota, Boston (Bert Bell promised this before his fatal heart attack), St. Louis (the Cardinals are in Dallas as the Texans), Buffalo, Atlanta, Miami and New Orleans being added for 20 teams by 1970. I also believe the Dallas Texans would get Joe Willie Namath in 1965 after Lamar Hunt makes the offer of a lifetime to sign him (since he had far more resources than any other owner at this point - except Bud Adams, who would try to get Namath as well).
@@MRB16th I don't think the NFL was looking to expand before the AFL came on the scene. They probably don't look into it until the late-60's. Also, without the AFL, David Dixon would have started the USFL in 1966 (from the book Football For A Buck by Jeff Pearlman), and it still would have been a spring league. I think that may have been the catalyst for expansion, and/or a merger.
They still lose to the Broncos. However, it would have been a far more entertaining game. The Falcons/Brocos Super Bowl is probably the worst Super Bowl of all time.
Studa Baker i think the vikings would win because i mean come on you would have a perfect kicker going into the game randall, randy, cris, john and plenty of other good players i mean they can easily just throw the ball to randy and i know the broncos had quite a few good defensive players but i feel like the vikings wouldve got the job done
Here’s my favorite what if What if the trade between the Raiders Bears and Colts went through. In 1983 the Raiders would’ve traded Howie Long to the bears for the 6th overall pick and combined that with their first round pick in 83 and 84 to get the Colts #1 draft pick The raiders get John Elway The Bears get Howie Long John Elway gets weapons and a defense Mike Haynes stays in New England but the Raiders get Kevin Ross at the end of the 6th round of the 1984 draft The Colts get Jim Covert, and Dan Marino. The Raiders stay in LA The Colts stay in Baltimore The Broncos move in the middle of the night to Oakland The Browns move to Indianapolis.
TheAnimationLads In one of superbowls with the patriots and giants on a third down Brady found welker wide open but he dropped the pass and forced New England to punt. If he caught it the patriots most likely would’ve ran the clock and won the game but we don’t know if that’s what would have happened and that’s why it’s a what if
@@rufusgoldstein2655 Uh It was a Good Pass... Welker decided to be an Idiot and tried catching it With a Turn Around Move since it was going in a different direction than what he was expecting and he dropped it...
#9 “What If MNF was never created? Broncos vs Giants MNF game on 9/10/2001 would have never happened or rather would have happened the day before. Meaning that many New Yorkers wouldn’t have been dragging ass to work at the WTC on 9/11 ( game ended after Midnight EST ) and many more people would have been at work when that whole thing happened.
Here's a couple what ifs for Chiefs fans: What if the Chiefs win Super Bowl 1? What if Jan Stenerud made the kick in the '71 AFC Divisional game vs Miami? What if the Chiefs draft Dan Marino in '83?
What if the Giants had picked Reggie White and not Gary Zimmerman in the 1984 NFL supplemental draft ? Jesus (White) and Lucifer (Taylor) on the same team.... downright scary ! Giants missed on 2 HOFers, since Zimmerman asked to be traded and played in Minnesota.
#5 is dumb. The Colts wouldn’t have drafted Trent Richardson at #1 overall. They would’ve traded the pick for an absolute haul to a team that wanted Andrew Luck.
This program was very good when first done. However, as I look at these later produced episodes, I see more and more comedians and actors, and very few sports writers, or reporters who cover the game. I preferred listening to the writers. They just have a better understanding of the game.

If Johnny Unitas doesn't become a Colt then a lot changes for the Bears. They get Bradshaw and the Bears pass more and Gale doesn't get hurt. He continues to play for multiple seasons and becomes the all time leading rusher.

throwing the ball was the smart thing to do, butler read where the ball was goin jumped the receiver and won the game, the question that should asked if why did wilson throw to where he did not why didn't they run the ball
The Steelers still would have been good in the upcoming years without the Immaculate Reception, in all likelihood. It wasn't that moment that turned their franchise around, it was the better team they had.
Yeah...I mean, it wasn't till two years later that they even got to the Super Bowl. People forget, the Immaculate Reception was following the 1972 season. The Steelers' dramatic win was followed by a loss to the undefeated Dolphins. Still, I guess you could say that put them on the map as a legit contender after decades of stinking up the joint.
The Giants nearly DID disappear... it's an interesting story. The Giants were broke and preparing to disband the team and sell off their assets, when they reached out to George Halas (the Chicago Bears founder, player, and coach) and begged him to bring the Bears to New York - with their star running back, Red Grange - who was a national sport-celebrity at that time. Halas, having history with New York, being born there, and also having played outfield for the N.Y. Yankees, decided to help, and added another game to their schedule to take place at the Giants home field. Long story short ... they sold out the stadium, Halas refused to take any cut of the ticket sales, and the Giants were able to save the franchise from bankruptcy. True story!
If Belicheck stays a Jet; Vinatieri isn't a future HOF because he doesn't make a bunch of clutch field goals or maybe doesn't get picked up as a free agent.
I got one: what if Bobby Lane never gets traded from Detroit? Curse of Bobby Lane doesn't happen. Do the Detroit Lions become a non cellar dweller, winning franchise? Do they have a Super Bowl appearance? Super Bowl win? Multiple Super Bowl wins? Barry Sanders retired cause he didn't like the losing culture in Detroit. Does Barry Sanders play longer, and break Walter Payton's record and go beyond the reaches of Emmit Smith? Similarly, since the Lions are now NOT a bottom dwelling team, they don't get the 3rd pick overall in the 1989 draft. Does Barry Sanders not go to the Lions? The Steelers choose the next running back in the '89 draft, so do they pick Sanders? Barry plays in Super Bowl 30? Maybe win it? The Lions really should have stuck with Bobby Lane. This would have benefited everyone.
Here's one for you that doesn't have to do with phantom curses. What if Erik Andolsek decided it was too hot to cut his lawn and didn't get killed in a freak traffic accident. The Lions spent the next three years trying, unsuccessfully to replace him... cut to the 1994 playoffs, the Pack shut down Barry by emasculating the guy playing in his place. Barry probably gets enough yards in just the time he played to pass Walter Payton and the Lions definitely fare better through the playoffs in the early-Mid '90s
What if Lloyd Carr decided to redshirt Drew Henson, which would have allowed Brady to establish as Michigan's clear-cut QB1. That would have made Brady a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
JBSptfn If he is just a product of the system why has only one of Tom's backups been able to be competent on other teams? It's not like they didn't learn the system and there are plenty of Bellicheck disciples that tried to run his system and failed. Bellichek is a football genius but the only people who think Brady is "only a product of the system" are salty Patriots haters and people who have no idea how to recognize talent or evaluate tape on a player. Please note I'm not even a Patriots fan, but Brady has earned everything he's achieved.
@ryaneugenelawrencewallls1987 Agreed. Because of that trade, Mike Lynn and Jerry Burns should have been fired after 1990 (when they went 6-10), not 91.
One What If that I think gets overlooked is a 1991 regular season game in mid-season between the Oilers and the Redskins at RFK and What If Ian Howefield makes that easy chip shot field goal at the end and the Oilers, instead of the Cowboys, are the ones that go into Washington and hand that great 91 Redskins team their first defeat which would have made them 9-1 and tied with Washington for the best record in the NFL. Perhaps the Oilers ride that momentum to a Super Bowl rematch and victory. And as for the Cowboys, most experts agree that their 90's dynasty began when they beat the 11-0 Redskins in the regular season and showed that they were in the league with the very best. Well if the Redskins had already been beaten by that point, perhaps that game doesn't mean as much and the Cowboys dynasty never begins. Maybe today we're talking about an Oilers dynasty and the Oilers never leave Houston and Warren Moon has multiple super bowl rings.
It would've been Vikings/Cardinals and Packers/Panthers in the Divisional Round of the 2015 playoffs. The Cardinals still make it to the NFC Title Game (would've had a much easier time vs the Vikings), but it's a toss up with Packers/Panthers. Nothing would change if the Panthers won, but it would've been Broncos/Cardinals in Super Bowl 50.
Something that's left off: what if the Redskins move to Dallas. It almost happened in the 1950s - the check was signed off and everything but George Preston Marshall (the Redskins owner) tried to pull a fast one on Clint Murchison and change the terms of the deal. Murchison tells Marshall to "go to hell" (his words), forces Marshall to vote with the rest of the NFL to allow an expansion team in Dallas (after holding Hail to the Redskins hostage), and the rest is history. If Murchison moves the team, that alters the shape of the NFL but the nation of socio-political discourse in the U.S. since they've been at the center of so much controversy about their nickname. Murchison probably changes it to the Cowboys (or something similar) and Washington probably gets a new team with a new owner and might even be with the upstart AFL.
dcbandnerd omg another person other than me and historians that knows that fact. I keep telling cowboys fans "the cowboys wouldnt exist without us." And they give me the "what did u smoke" face.
Given the timeframe you mentioned, Washington would have recieved an AFL team with a different owner, while the entire 1952 Dallas Texans debacle gets avoided - that said, the Baltimore Colts would still exist since a Southern rival to Dallas would be required.
Further to this, with an existing team in Dallas, and assuming the Baltimore Colts are the NFL's 13th team in 1959 (as a Southern rival, which Murchison was open to), Lamar Hunt would place his AFL franchise in Kansas City from day one, while Minnesota would be added in 1960 as the 14th team - the NFL would not wish to have byes for an extended period of time. With Washington's AFL team, would they be an expansion team, or a charter member (meaning Lamar Hunt would have nine teams and a bye in year one)?
After thinking about it, nine teams would work for years one and two of this AFL (note the 1966-1967 season had nine teams with the addition of the Miami Dolphins). Here, a second Chicago team would be added in year three (filling the void left after the Cardinals moved to St. Louis - there would also be Bears players jumping to the team), with Miami and Cincinnati being added down the track. So the merger sees a 28 team league in 1970 (all things being equal), and given Tampa Bay and Seattle were being discussed at this point, I imagine two more teams would be added in the 1970s - Pete Rozelle did mention a 32 team NFL would happen some day, and here, it would be in his lifetime and reign as Commissoner (as opposed to six years after he died - the extra two teams, of course, would be up for debate).
Look, I respect Tebow for his faith as a fellow Christian, but as a Broncos fan, I think it was a good riddance, as Tebow clearly showed that his playbook was so limited and since he was NOT drafted by John Elway, there was no way that Elway would ever stick with Tebow for one more season. Therefore, those folks have no freaking ideas on what the heck they are talking about.
You have to have serious serious brain damage to think the Colts would've just drafted someone else rather than trading the pick that would become Luck for.... whatever they wanted. Craziest stuff i've ever heard.
Rydawg 26 There’s no way to know that would be the case. If they stayed in '96 as is they wouldn't have the extra first round pick to get Ray Lewis. Which meant, four years later the free agency moves made with Sharpe, Woodson, etc may not have happened to get to the Superbowl.
The Saints would have probably moved somewhere else, had Brees not led the team to immediate success in the year right after Hurricane Katrina. Tom Benson was super close to moving the team to San Antonio. The Chargers or Dolphins could have won a Super Bowl with Brees.
The MNF one is moot as eventually the NFL would have seen the writing on the wall and the cash cow that prime time football is and would have eventually started prime time football. Maybe it would have been just Sunday night but eventually we would have had MNF at some point.

What if David Tyree didn't catch the ball?
Ajay Lindbo . We all know the answer to that question. We're seeing it now.
Eli would be been out the league years ago
Ajay Lindbo 19-0. Brady doesn't get hurt in 08 because the pats don't face KC week 1. Pats go 14-2 in 08, Brady wins his 2nd MVP, roll through the playoffs beating Arizona in superbowl 43 winning back to back championships and making Brady and Belichick 5-0 in superbowls. 2009 rolls around and because Brady isn't coming off of injury plays better. Pats have a better record going 12-4 instead of 10-6 and get a 1st round bye. The Pats then dont face the ravens and the Pats make it to superbowl 44 and beat the saints, giving the Patriots the most rings with 6, the 1st team to 3 peat, and Brady and Belichick are 6-0 in superbowls before 2010. Therefore in present day Brady and Belichick are now 8-2 in superbowls and only lose to the giants once. The Pats are considered the greatest team in NFL history and Brady is the undisputed Goat, because he has doubled Montana's SB wins, with a 19-0 season, and a 3 peat as the cherries on top.

What if Marshall never hit Montana ending his time in SF?
I think they go on to win 3 straight super bowls, they blow the Bills out, that hit allowed Steve Young to become Steve Young, I think if they 3 peat, they go back to at least 2 more super bowls, forcing SF to trade Steve Young, would have been interesting to see a Joe Montana led team play in those NFC Championship game loses to the Cowboys

uhh no. It was obviously the right call at the time. Pathetic you still think this

I really thought the tuck rule would be # 1 let alone not even be on the lost
or what if Bledsoe never got hurt?
They should have changed #1 to "What if Lamar Hunt was allowed to buy the Chicago Cardinals and move them to Dallas?" The only reason why Hunt decided to establish the AFL was that he wanted to put a pro football team in Dallas. After the NFL denied his purchase, which allowed the Cardinals to move to St. Louis, Hunt gathered 7 other people to form the new league. Also, this means the Dallas Cowboys as we know them today do not exist because they were created to counter the AFL. So we would have the Dallas Cardinals. (or Texans).
The WFL would have flopped, but the NFL maybe absorbs a couple of teams (similar to the AAFC in 1950).
This is exactly what happened in MLB at the exact same time. After the baseball Giants and Dodgers moved to the west coast, NY lawyer Joe Shea proposes a third 8-team major league within the MLB framework, the Continental League, with of course a team in New York. As soon as this looked like it might become real,the AL and NL expanded and with one of the teams in NY, Shea's mission is accomplished and the Continental League never happened. Also, it was Cards owner Bidwill, not the NFL, that wouldn't let Hunt buy the team. Bidwill wanted to move the Cards but didn't want to pay the NFL's huge relocation fee. Bidwill was looking for a sugar daddy to help him financially while at the same time retaining full control. As soon as the AFL was announced, the NFL waived the fee and allowed Bidwill to move to STL to deny that area to the AFL.
W
With this in mind, I'll go with the Dallas Texans here - Lamar Hunt would want his franchise to have its own history, especially considering the Cardinals were the NFL's doormats at that time.
In this timeline, while the AFL is averted (at least as we know it), you would still have expansion in the 1960s, with Houston (as a rival to Dallas), Minnesota, Boston (Bert Bell promised this before his fatal heart attack), St. Louis (the Cardinals are in Dallas as the Texans), Buffalo, Atlanta, Miami and New Orleans being added for 20 teams by 1970.
I also believe the Dallas Texans would get Joe Willie Namath in 1965 after Lamar Hunt makes the offer of a lifetime to sign him (since he had far more resources than any other owner at this point - except Bud Adams, who would try to get Namath as well).
@@MRB16th I don't think the NFL was looking to expand before the AFL came on the scene. They probably don't look into it until the late-60's. Also, without the AFL, David Dixon would have started the USFL in 1966 (from the book Football For A Buck by Jeff Pearlman), and it still would have been a spring league. I think that may have been the catalyst for expansion, and/or a merger.
What if Gary Anderson didnt miss the field against the falcons?
Filippo Di Michele /Blair Walsh wide left
They still lose to the Broncos. However, it would have been a far more entertaining game. The Falcons/Brocos Super Bowl is probably the worst Super Bowl of all time.
Studa Baker i think the vikings would win because i mean come on you would have a perfect kicker going into the game randall, randy, cris, john and plenty of other good players i mean they can easily just throw the ball to randy and i know the broncos had quite a few good defensive players but i feel like the vikings wouldve got the job done
Dude. They're the Vikings. They're not supposed to win the Super Bowl.
Filippo Di Michele Vikings Vs Broncos would've been a great game can't say who would win cause I loved both teams that year
Here’s my favorite what if
What if the trade between the Raiders Bears and Colts went through.
In 1983 the Raiders would’ve traded Howie Long to the bears for the 6th overall pick and combined that with their first round pick in 83 and 84 to get the Colts #1 draft pick
The raiders get John Elway
The Bears get Howie Long
John Elway gets weapons and a defense
Mike Haynes stays in New England but the Raiders get Kevin Ross at the end of the 6th round of the 1984 draft
The Colts get Jim Covert, and Dan Marino.
The Raiders stay in LA
The Colts stay in Baltimore
The Broncos move in the middle of the night to Oakland
The Browns move to Indianapolis.

The Steelers still would have been good in the upcoming years without the Immaculate Reception, in all likelihood. It wasn't that moment that turned their franchise around, it was the better team they had.
Yeah...I mean, it wasn't till two years later that they even got to the Super Bowl. People forget, the Immaculate Reception was following the 1972 season. The Steelers' dramatic win was followed by a loss to the undefeated Dolphins.
Still, I guess you could say that put them on the map as a legit contender after decades of stinking up the joint.
The Giants nearly DID disappear... it's an interesting story. The Giants were broke and preparing to disband the team and sell off their assets, when they reached out to George Halas (the Chicago Bears founder, player, and coach) and begged him to bring the Bears to New York - with their star running back, Red Grange - who was a national sport-celebrity at that time.
Halas, having history with New York, being born there, and also having played outfield for the N.Y. Yankees, decided to help, and added another game to their schedule to take place at the Giants home field.
Long story short ... they sold out the stadium, Halas refused to take any cut of the ticket sales, and the Giants were able to save the franchise from bankruptcy. True story!

I got one: what if Bobby Lane never gets traded from Detroit? Curse of Bobby Lane doesn't happen. Do the Detroit Lions become a non cellar dweller, winning franchise? Do they have a Super Bowl appearance? Super Bowl win? Multiple Super Bowl wins? Barry Sanders retired cause he didn't like the losing culture in Detroit. Does Barry Sanders play longer, and break Walter Payton's record and go beyond the reaches of Emmit Smith? Similarly, since the Lions are now NOT a bottom dwelling team, they don't get the 3rd pick overall in the 1989 draft. Does Barry Sanders not go to the Lions? The Steelers choose the next running back in the '89 draft, so do they pick Sanders? Barry plays in Super Bowl 30? Maybe win it?
The Lions really should have stuck with Bobby Lane. This would have benefited everyone.
Nov 22, 1963... Ford would still buy the team and they would suck forevermore.
Here's one for you that doesn't have to do with phantom curses. What if Erik Andolsek decided it was too hot to cut his lawn and didn't get killed in a freak traffic accident. The Lions spent the next three years trying, unsuccessfully to replace him... cut to the 1994 playoffs, the Pack shut down Barry by emasculating the guy playing in his place. Barry probably gets enough yards in just the time he played to pass Walter Payton and the Lions definitely fare better through the playoffs in the early-Mid '90s
It relates to what if unitas isnt a colt. If pittsburgh didnt cut unitas they wouldnt have needed to trade for lane.
It's nice that they gave Gandalf some work in this video. He's been in a bit of a rut lately.

JBSptfn The greatest QB of all time would have been second fiddle to a hall of fame MLB? Yeah that makes sense...
JBSptfn If he is just a product of the system why has only one of Tom's backups been able to be competent on other teams? It's not like they didn't learn the system and there are plenty of Bellicheck disciples that tried to run his system and failed. Bellichek is a football genius but the only people who think Brady is "only a product of the system" are salty Patriots haters and people who have no idea how to recognize talent or evaluate tape on a player. Please note I'm not even a Patriots fan, but Brady has earned everything he's achieved.
Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson both of them wouldn't be in the Hall Of Fame if they didn't trade Walker to Minnesota
@ryaneugenelawrencewallls1987 Agreed. Because of that trade, Mike Lynn and Jerry Burns should have been fired after 1990 (when they went 6-10), not 91.
@jab1289 Yes That's true
One What If that I think gets overlooked is a 1991 regular season game in mid-season between the Oilers and the Redskins at RFK and What If Ian Howefield makes that easy chip shot field goal at the end and the Oilers, instead of the Cowboys, are the ones that go into Washington and hand that great 91 Redskins team their first defeat which would have made them 9-1 and tied with Washington for the best record in the NFL. Perhaps the Oilers ride that momentum to a Super Bowl rematch and victory. And as for the Cowboys, most experts agree that their 90's dynasty began when they beat the 11-0 Redskins in the regular season and showed that they were in the league with the very best. Well if the Redskins had already been beaten by that point, perhaps that game doesn't mean as much and the Cowboys dynasty never begins. Maybe today we're talking about an Oilers dynasty and the Oilers never leave Houston and Warren Moon has multiple super bowl rings.
I think that if Scott Norwood made the kick I don't think they would've gone to 4 straight still , they don't realize how difficult that truly is

The Cardinals still make it to the NFC Title Game (would've had a much easier time vs the Vikings), but it's a toss up with Packers/Panthers. Nothing would change if the Panthers won, but it would've been Broncos/Cardinals in Super Bowl 50.
The Vikes would’ve lost in the divisional
The Vikings probably would have lost to Cam Newton and the red hot panthers

If Bledsoe never got hurt, it changes every single Superbowl result for the last twenty years
Something that's left off: what if the Redskins move to Dallas. It almost happened in the 1950s - the check was signed off and everything but George Preston Marshall (the Redskins owner) tried to pull a fast one on Clint Murchison and change the terms of the deal. Murchison tells Marshall to "go to hell" (his words), forces Marshall to vote with the rest of the NFL to allow an expansion team in Dallas (after holding Hail to the Redskins hostage), and the rest is history.
If Murchison moves the team, that alters the shape of the NFL but the nation of socio-political discourse in the U.S. since they've been at the center of so much controversy about their nickname. Murchison probably changes it to the Cowboys (or something similar) and Washington probably gets a new team with a new owner and might even be with the upstart AFL.
dcbandnerd omg another person other than me and historians that knows that fact. I keep telling cowboys fans "the cowboys wouldnt exist without us." And they give me the "what did u smoke" face.
That's how the Cowboys Redskins rivalry started!
Given the timeframe you mentioned, Washington would have recieved an AFL team with a different owner, while the entire 1952 Dallas Texans debacle gets avoided - that said, the Baltimore Colts would still exist since a Southern rival to Dallas would be required.
Further to this, with an existing team in Dallas, and assuming the Baltimore Colts are the NFL's 13th team in 1959 (as a Southern rival, which Murchison was open to), Lamar Hunt would place his AFL franchise in Kansas City from day one, while Minnesota would be added in 1960 as the 14th team - the NFL would not wish to have byes for an extended period of time.
With Washington's AFL team, would they be an expansion team, or a charter member (meaning Lamar Hunt would have nine teams and a bye in year one)?
After thinking about it, nine teams would work for years one and two of this AFL (note the 1966-1967 season had nine teams with the addition of the Miami Dolphins).
Here, a second Chicago team would be added in year three (filling the void left after the Cardinals moved to St. Louis - there would also be Bears players jumping to the team), with Miami and Cincinnati being added down the track.
So the merger sees a 28 team league in 1970 (all things being equal), and given Tampa Bay and Seattle were being discussed at this point, I imagine two more teams would be added in the 1970s - Pete Rozelle did mention a 32 team NFL would happen some day, and here, it would be in his lifetime and reign as Commissoner (as opposed to six years after he died - the extra two teams, of course, would be up for debate).
What if the Bill's won all 4 superbowls?
We would be the best football team in history
They would've been hated just as much as the Cheatriots, Cowboys, 49ers, etc.
Look, I respect Tebow for his faith as a fellow Christian, but as a Broncos fan, I think it was a good riddance, as Tebow clearly showed that his playbook was so limited and since he was NOT drafted by John Elway, there was no way that Elway would ever stick with Tebow for one more season. Therefore, those folks have no freaking ideas on what the heck they are talking about.
St. Louis still loses the Rams. The city wanted to keep them. Kroenke and the NFL wanted out of STL
I love that half of this video is essentially top ten colts what ifs
What if Elway won all 5 superbowls

Rydawg 26 There’s no way to know that would be the case. If they stayed in '96 as is they wouldn't have the extra first round pick to get Ray Lewis. Which meant, four years later the free agency moves made with Sharpe, Woodson, etc may not have happened to get to the Superbowl.
Speedyreedy1218 The Ray Lewis pick was secured before the Browns left for Baltimore.

I thought I’d see whaa if Drew Brees stayed w/ San Diego
That or going to the Dolphins
The Saints would have probably moved somewhere else, had Brees not led the team to immediate success in the year right after Hurricane Katrina. Tom Benson was super close to moving the team to San Antonio.
The Chargers or Dolphins could have won a Super Bowl with Brees.
@@0Clewi0 then nick saban (head coach of the dolphins at the time) would probably stay as head coach and never go to alabama
The MNF one is moot as eventually the NFL would have seen the writing on the wall and the cash cow that prime time football is and would have eventually started prime time football. Maybe it would have been just Sunday night but eventually we would have had MNF at some point.
