Holy shit you’re right.

Yeah, but....the Browns.

I’m gonna point out that Romeo Crennell managed to go 10-6 as a HC one year....with the Browns.

This is no time for your cool headed rational analysis.

Guys....I think MadBum’s kind of an asshole.

That’s kind of a blanket statement, isn’t it?

“Soory.”

One day I’d like to write an in-depth article on the entire final drive, because the whole thing is utterly fascinating. Seattle, after the swing pass to Lynch on the first play of the drive, had the ball at midfield with 2 mins left and all 3 time outs, and managed to screw up their clock management so completely…

He benched Gilmore?

Yeah. I dunno the inner dynamics, but I doubt the players yell at Brady at all. The only guy allowed to yell at Brady in practice or the film room is Belichick. And boy does he ever. “Foxboro Johnny” etc.

Hey Grape! It’s good to hear from you again.

I’m stealing “football Smeagol.” That’s just brilliant. THE SILVER TROPHY, IT BURNS US PRECIOUS.

The ball sailed? The ball was maybe 2 inches from the ideal spot. I’ve never believed that INT was on Wilson; that INT was because Butler made a fantastic read and play and Browner had a huge part in holding up Kearse so he couldn’t set the pick to see up Lockette.

And Wilson did that with no OL to speak of.

And the defense’s reaction (“we didn’t lose, it was taken from us”) us very reminiscent of the Al Davis Raiders, where they thought the league was rigged against them, to the detriment of actually concentrating on winning games. No wonder neither team ever reached the mountaintop again.

Seattle had burned two timeouts in stopped-clock situations on that drive.

And maybe Sherman and friends are enormous babies as well. “They cost me a SB?” Gimme a fucking break, don’t blow a 10 point lead in the 4th and you’ll win another SB.

I mean, you’re right about that lol.

No. It speaks poorly of the cohesion on the team. Like the old Buddy Ryan Eagles, one half of the team believed they were carrying the other. When things went wrong, the defense blamed the offense entirely, even though it was the defense that blew a 10 point 4th quarter lead in the SB.

Call me crazy, but all this kinda speaks poorly about the way the team was run, doesn’t it? If that play mentally destroyed the team, it shows a lack of leadership from the coaches and the key players. And there’s no way Carroll was trying to get Wilson the MVP with that call. I don’t believe that for one second.
