Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 You start yearning for the halcyon days of Wade Phillips' tenure. The mere mention of his name brought fond memories of actually making the playoffs, even IF we got beat. I give TD 2 more seasons to get this right. If not, throw his arse into Lake Erie. In December.
KurtGodel77 Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 It's funny. I miss those days too. Our special teams are better now than they were then, as you'll realize if you think back to the Titans game. Flutie's stats in 1999 were about the same as Bledsoe's were in 2004, so our passing game was about the same. We have McGahee instead of Antowain Smith, so our running game should be about the same, even with inferior run-blocking. FOr us to do better in 1999 than we did in 2004 means only one thing: our defense was better in 1999. The 1999 version ranked 3rd or something in points allowed, compared to 8th or whatever we are at today. I loved that '99 defense.

Frez Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 I'm almost positive this team is on the right track. It's all going to depend on JP Losman!
