Problem with our SB win I can never enjoy it because I instantly always think of the nightmare SB loss that followed it and nearly getting frostbite during the SB parade. It was like 6 degrees.
I will go to my grave saying this, but if we beat the Pats in that Super Bowl, we win the next one too....and I'm not so sure we don't win another in there somewhere. But I seriously think we three peat if not for the destruction that followed that epic collapse.
The LOB never got over it, Lynch soon retires, and then comes back but as a Raider. I don't think Baldwin ever got over it either. We called a slant to the gunner on the punt team. That is the play we drew up in the biggest moment of the year? That was intentional. It was arrogant. We'll show them, it's not going to Doug, it's not going to Lynch, it's not a QB boot...nope, let's prove everyone wrong and have our short QB throw an inside slant into a tight window...oh, and let's throw it to Ricardo fucking Lockette, who is only on the team to cover kicks and punts!
Fucking dumbest play call in the history of football, and it is compounded by the fact that piss poor clock management and misuse of timeouts is why it was even necessary. Oh, that and the fact that we couldn't figure out why Belichick wasn't calling timeouts. Imagine if we drain almost all of the clock and score? Bill would have looked like a dipshit for not saving time for Brady. Nope, we had to out smart ourselves!
Reminds me of when Pete complained that the Bills didn't run the ball. "We had a great game plan if they had run it" he says. Dumb Fuck, they had Josh Allen and a bunch of stud receivers. They aren't running the ball, especially against the soft ass pass defense we called. Line up behind the sticks and bail at the snap. Yeah, I'd throw the ball too. He was so flabbergasted that Bill didn't use timeouts that he completely brain farted.
