It was horrible.
But think too about how much the game has changed. Back then, coaches generally took the points and so rarely went for the TD on fourth and goal. Now it’s de rigeur.
I still think one of the keys calls was when the Pack had the ball and the lead and had a chance to run out the clock. First down, Starks gets four or five yards, maybe six. McCarthy in a perfect position to call for play action, as Seattle was biting hard on the run. Chance to put the game in the hands of the best player in the game, hobbled though he was.
But no. Fat Mike ran two more times into the teeth of that defense. His sphincter had shriveled up tight.
