Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Non Fiction
A very useful publication when I was involved in working on this sort of things. It gives year by year team rosters and statistical history and results for the NFL for the period in question.
This gives you at a glance reference to the important numbers for the period. Definitely worth happening for those interested in NFL stats.
Rating: - The Best I've Seen Despite a Few Errors
This guide contains a wealth of information not easy to find in other sources. It is good at providing historical individual stats, but particularly good at providing comprehensive historical TEAM stats, which I find surprisingly hard to come by. There are a few mistakes and a few stats that s/b added (like time of possession where available), but overall the best of its kind made. Too bad it appears to no longer be published annually. (Also, the cover of the last edition was thinner and less durable than in prior editions.)
Rating:  - land of a thousand boo-boos
in the mid-90s i bought this book.... i found over 600 mistakes, then quit... mistakes of every imaginable type.... and these were internal mistakes, where the same information in the book was different in 2 different places... especially bad were the all-time and single season category listings in the back.. i wonder if things have improved?...---stolf---
Rating:  - A must for any serious NFL fan
Forget about it-- no more arguments, this book has it all, the history, players, scores and stats in the NFL and AFL since 1960. There are updated editions available, but they only cover the league since 1972. Nearly 800 pages in an 8.5" x 11" format, you won't be dissatisfied. Buy this one if you can find it and buy the updated edition for the recent seasons. A fantastic sports encyclopedia.
