YES If they used the old rules. I really don't think any QB's today could play in those beat down fest's.They really were brutal back in the day!!!!
True, the QB's are protected a little bit more (ok a lot more) these days. But it is Manning, besides Favre he is the toughest QB playing now.Quote:

...Don't kid yourself; it's just as dirty in the trenches today as it was back then, but I do agree that the players were tougher back then. Today huge salaries has necessitated the feeling that these guys need to be baby coddled; they seem to be out a minimum of at least two to four weeks for what seems to be nothing more then a hang nail comparatively speaking.Quote:

Players today are far stronger and much faster than they were then. Manning would throw alot of quick passes and wear-down the lesser conditioned players. Then, late in the game, the Chiefs would be out of gas.
Purely hypothetical, but that's what I would expect.
Agreed; the game has evolved to a much higher standard.Quote:

Agreed.Quote:

I ll tell you all what....I just watched the highlight film from the 69 Chiefs and I dont care about the conditioning and blah blah about athletes today. The 69 Chiefs were big and badass and I think they would have half of the Colts starting lineup on the bench injured or scared by halftime. Sure the Colts might be able to run longer, if they dont have a broken leg or cracked ribs. Manning would be cryin after the first hit!! The Chiefs would lay an absolute *** whippin on the Colts no doubt!!
I understand what you're sayin, but the game has undergone a bit of a evolution since then. Not taking anything at all away from our one and only SB victory, but the comparison really is apples and oranges. JMHOQuote:

Not the Colts...faster maybe, but for big strong and tough, i will take the ChiefsQuote:

They sure would have scored more than the '07 Chiefs did, that's for sure!! :lol:Quote:
