Arkady Renko Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I thought it was a real interesting read and enjoyed the fact that he wrote it himself rather than having a ghostwriter do it. Most of what he said matched up with my memory, but the story of the comeback didn't exactly. I know he says out front there would be errors so I don't mean to harp on it, but I want to know if I remember things right. Basically, he seems to say that Kelly was injured prior to the last regular season game in Houston in 92, but I thought for sure that Kelly got injured during that game and then Reich couldn't do much. Is that wrong? Was he injured earlier. Also, he mentions the idea of going for two points in the comeback, but didn't the two point conversion not get added until the 1994 or 1995 season?

The two point thing... I have no clue.

I have no clue. 238126[/snapback] Yeah, I know Reich started the comeback game, but they also played Houston the week before in Houston during the final game of the regular season. He said that Kelly was injured before THAT final regular season game and I was certain that the Kelly was hurt during that loss when they were trying to clinch the AFC East + Home Field. I have this image of Kelly in the Astrodome getting hit brutally mangling his knee in that one.

Of course, he does have about 55+ years of stuff packed in his melon, so I'm gonna cut him a break.

I am actually amazed with how many of the details he did remember correctly. This was the only part of the book that stood out to me in the error regard. Was a great book and he even got me calling April's unit the "kicking teams."
