For a moment I was thinking "Geez Peyton hasn't been retired that long" then I remembered that Super Bowl 50 was 5 years ago. Damn time flies by.
*sigh* Torry Holt will get in eventually

What's the deal with Seifert? One bad season in Carolina? Very unfair. I get he had a lot to work with when he succeeded Walsh, but do people think its easy to win multiple Superbowls as HC?
All of this just seems like nitpickingIf there is a gripe about that '94 49ers team that won his second Super Bowl, it might because it was viewed as a hired gun team. San Francisco went crazy in free agency that year to finally get over Dallas.
I still faintly recall some segments and backlash from other teams towards them on ESPN. They won another ring so it was obviously worth it. In addition, three of Seifert's playoff losses came at home. Twice as a #1 seed. Can't imagine his stint in Carolina helped him either.
That said, if Drew Pearson can get in, so can George Seifert someday.
forgot about shanahan tooI forgot that Shanahan has also won two Super Bowls along with Seifert and Coughlin and not in. Next year I dont think any of the first year players will get in, most notable are Demarcus Ware, Steve Smith, and Andre Johnson.

I think Flores was the better coach of the Raiders' Super Bowl winning coaches. He won his SBs after Plunket came in of the scrap heap, was the first to coach a wild card to a Super Bowl win and he had to deal with Al Davis' increasingly erratic behavior.I dont disagree with you. Seifert and Flores are similar cases. Both took over great teams (the Niners were better but the Raiders were great since the merger) and sustained their success for about a decade longer. Then in their second stop wasn't very good.
And the HOF has to figure out how to make his bust red.I actually don't think Coughlin is eligible yet, or this might have been his first year.
Drew Pearson deserved to be in the Hall of Fame decades ago

Saw a tweet today that said Megatron was drafted when TB was 30, and goes into the HOF the same weekend Brady is in the super bowl at 43...that’s crazyMegatron is the second youngest player ever elected at 35, Gale Sayers was 34.
yeah, that's why i'd be surprised if he doesn't get in now that flores is in
Wow that's a bit of a surprise he got in on the first ballot.
Definitely deserving but I figured he would wait a while due to WR generally being a logjam in terms of backlog
Poor Ronde Barber. So underrated.
3 big snubs IMO.
1. Zach Thomas: 5x 1st team all-pro. 1700 tackles, 17 int, 16 forced fumbles, 74 tackles for loss
2. Richard Seymour: 3x 1st team all-pro, key defensive piece of the Patriot's 1st 3 SB wins
3. Rodney Harrison: 2x 1st team all-pro, 1 of 2 men in league history in the 30/30 club (30 sacks, 30 picks), the other is Ray Lewis.
Seymour is because he doesn't have the gaudy totals in the glamour stats, his greatness went beyond stats.
Harrison was a much better player than Lynch, which confuses me. Especially since they had equal reps as headhunters
They both made the same number of All Pro teams just with Seymour making first team one more time. They are pretty similar accolades and Seymour won 3 Super Bowls.If Steve McMichael isn't worthy of HOF then Richard Seymour sure as f*** is not good enough for enshrinement
