BRH Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 ...a two-time defending AFC champion made it to the playoffs the next year, they faced down all kinds of pre-game and in-game adversity and engineered the greatest comeback in NFL history to make not only a third but a fourth consecutive AFC championship a reality. No team had won two straight AFC titles and made it back to the playoffs the following year since those 1992 Buffalo Bills, until the New England Patriots did it this year. And what happened? They crumbled. Five turnovers. A crucial missed FG. Two interceptions by the Great God Brady and several overthrows caused by the thin air that seemed to thicken mysteriously whenever Denver had the ball. Etc. etc. Ahhh. It is to smile about, yes, it is.

It should be half full of something - a lager perhaps - not half empty. I wish we were watching this at a pub together somewhere. You would be in a better mood.

But I'm tired of having to be drunk during a football game to experience any kind of joy. How about a Buffalo playoff game, maybe one at home? Nah, Maybe 2010. That's if Marv and Ralph live that long.

No, our head coach wouldv'e been run out of town for not winning a playoff game. I guarantee that. Look at Phillips. Consistency is key. We don't have that. CW
