Of what I have said all along: the LOB wins at least 2 SBs with Matt Flynn or nearly any other NFL starting qb. There would never be that interception on the goal line and the band would never have been broken up by one man's ego.
Without Wilson the LoB stays together and we have the cap space to continue building a team around them post 2015. I think with Mark Sanchez on a minimum contract this team wins 3 titles.
Nonsense. If Flynn was that good, why didn't he catch on anywhere else? Why couldn't the Hawks close the deal in the Tarvaris year and make the playoffs, instead of choking to the Skins and Niners at home?
Watch SB 48 again. Russ led us to scores on how many consecutive possessions to start the game? He was a bad spot and very good Bronco defensive play in the endzone away from leading us to TDs on our first five or six possessions with the ball. If Flynn or Tarvaris are playing QB for us that day, we have to punt a few times. We give Denver the chance to catch their breath and play more conservatively on offense, since we're not pulling away on the scoreboard. Russ was on fire that day at MetLife. It was the offense scoring every time they got the ball, that gave Denver no chance to catch their breath.
We DID have the cap space to keep the D together even with Russ. The only guy that didn't get a big second contract here was Bruce. Everyone else on D got paid. If you're going to say Browner wasn't...maybe his "issues" had more to do with it than cap room did.
I get it, we're all supposed to hate Russ now and blame him for everything. But if he was a diva, he was one amongst many. And the many aren't any more honest about their role in destroying the team spirit than Russ has been. And that includes the LOB. Who held each other accountable, but refused to be held accountable by anyone else.
