But Atlanta's RBs held on to the ball. Only 3 fumbles to Dallas's 9.

The only one dimensional team in the conversation plays in Texas.

He was one of the owners that told Goodell to not drop the case and go all the way. He also made comments like if it was JJ Watt he would've never destroyed his phone...

Never let stats get in the way of blind fandom.
Elliot might go on to have the more successful career, but the Atlanta tandem is definitely more potent.
Although I'm still mad at Freeman for crapping the bed come my FF playoffs!

Because it's not like Tom & Bill put up about the same amount of wins 7 years prior to spygate punishment and the 7 years after spygate punishment.

Even the best cheaters on the planet could not maintain this level of consistency!
Also let's not forget, until this season the best RB Brady, arguably, ever had was...Corey Dillon for the final few years of his career.
Then Randy Moss one season, not many stud WR's. The TE list....well one is in jail and the other, while dominant, can't remain healthy.

My comment had more to do with the fact that Run DMC was 2nd in the NFL in rushing last year with 1200 yards.

Exactly!

And as if being a Jets fan has anything to do with the topic at hand .

Not to mention I'm pretty sure rickah is an Iggles fan and not a Jets fan.

Still did very well for a guy who only started about 10 games. Can't remember the last time a Falcon ran for 1200 yards, think it was Jamaal Anderson.

Looked more like a copy and paste job to me, rickah isn't really the analytical type of fan like we are. Speaking of analytical, besides QB and WR, what would it take for the Jets to make the play-offs anytime soon?

Turner in 08, 10 and 11.
Dunn in 05.
Anderson in 98.

Burner Turner and Warrick Dunn were definitely good backs.

The NFL plays this weekend, fellas. Stop cat fighting and do yourselves a favor and watch some of the best athletes in the world battle it out in the NCAA Championship!

Then you can say you saw one of your players play in college and know who and what you're discussing.
