    the fumble, 4th & 26, the SB loss... geezus.

    Any more gloom and doom you wanna rehash?

    BUSH for not falling down and recovering the DAM FUMBLE against the Giants

    Think of all the Favre bashing that may have never occured if Bush falls on that fumble, we hit a field goal, and GB goes to the Super Bowl
    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

      They ought to credit that pick to Bush instead of Favre.

        As hard as those second place finishes were, the loss to the Broncos in the 1998 Superbowl has haunted me longer. A top defense allowed Terrell Davis and his offensive line to run all over them. They held Elway to a measly 100+change yards passing. Favre turned in three times Elway’s stats and they couldn’t stop the run. They couldn’t even stop ELWAY’s run. In the long run, one of the best teams assembled in NFL history won just once in a span where they should have won three times.
        IIRC, didn't Gabe Wilkins decide in the most important game of his life, that his gimpy knee couldn't hold up and he took himself out of the game???
        Yup, remember an interview w/Leroy Butler about it. He reamed him about it. Something like resting after the game, etc.

        The D failed and Holmy was outcoached in that game.

It also led to the creation a new verb for costly, debilitating mistake: to byner.

          It would have tied the game after the Browns coughed up a 21 point lead in the first half. Marty was the coach and this was well before everyone expected Martyball to lose winnable playoff games. I need to go outside and bang my head into a tree trunk now before I turn in. Goodnight.
          Nothing could be finer than to tackle Earnest Byner at the goal line.

            It depends, Bretsky, it depends. If GB goes to the SB and Favre throws a pick at the end and the Packers lose, it'd rev right up.

            You know most of us don't let actual facts and a long-term perspective get in the way of our opinions.

              The sad thing was, Byner had a clear path to glory and the only guy who could get close to Earnest prior to the goal line could only arm tackle him. My thought was that if he didn't get shot from the stands it was a sure TD. But that arm tackle was a neat strip (intentional or no, I can't say and I sure as hell am not going to look at You Tube for it) and the Broncos were able to run the clock down. Oy.

                Shit..Snake was drinking with 3 buddies. I threw a bottle (Budweiser) over my neighbors roof and smoked a car with it at that point. I only knew it cuz 3 days later my old neighbor was walking his dog bitching how someone might have tossed a Bud bottle threw his Lexus. True story...and quite a throw. Fuck that shit!
                Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.

                  That non-fumble by Jerry Rice makes my blood boil the most, because it really was a case of getting cheated. 4-26 happened on the field, within the rules - that sort of stuff drives me crazy, but it's why we love football.

                  Giving Rice that catch was SO similar to the calls MJ would get when driving to the basket, and is why I can't stand the NBA.

                        Hey Scott. Do you subscribe to the theory that the best course in a five or six course meal is always the last? Higher thinking dictates the Bretzky's point is well made.

                          It's typically the featured course, but not always the best. IMO.

                            I was looking for something unrelated on Youtube this evening when what do I find but a three part video on the second half of the 1987 AFC Championship. I will spare you the link.
