Will a win today absolve the 49 debacle?

[Cyrus12]

We were the laughing stock of the world when that play went dow...destroying what could of been a dynasty that tore the team as we knew it apart with egos that couldn't get past it. In your mind does a win today erase what happened or does it still hurt the same regardless?

 

[Rat]

Neither team has a single player or coach from that game, so no. Would still feel nice to get one over on that franchise though.

 

[Tusc2000]

We can't change history, but maybe we could make some nice memories today.

 

[seahawksny]

Different era, coaches, players.
But nice and certainly fitting to beat them

 

[Atradees]

Maybe Darnold throws a 1 yarder for gamesmanship

 

[Jayburd14]

I think when we win, it will be the equivalent of Red Sox fans moving on from Bill Buckner after winning the World Series in 2004

 

[pmedic920]

ABSOLVE?

No, but it will certainly take a lot of the sing away.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen that play this week

 

[rjas77]

Not for me…I’ve moved on

 

[Sperrydogg]

Nope. It won’t and why you bringing up old shyt. This win will be sweet and glorious and new

 

[Bootsy51]

Today is all that Matters !

 

[CPHawk]

No. But it will still be awesome to get the win. But we should be heading for 4-0 in SB, but the refs stole one, and Pete/Russ stole the second

 

[HawkRiderFan]

For me it will. And because the win today will be over the same time, that play will come up a lot less when these 2 teams are mentioned together for any reason in the future so as a fan base we will have to endure that a lot less

 

[jammerhawk]

For me the answer is no.

What a galactic cluster f that play was. I will go to my grave believing Beastmode would have scored and the dynasty would have been created.

I can’t forget, and I still can’t watch that game without becoming upset.

Thankfully this a new era and the team is just getting started. Mission over BS!

^This, almost^
It will still be there, but it will definitely turn down the noise.

 

[CalgaryFan05]

No. But it will still be awesome to get the win. But we should be heading for 4-0 in SB, but the refs stole one, and Pete/Russ stole the second

Spot on.

 

[IndyHawk]

No. But it will still be awesome to get the win. But we should be heading for 4-0 in SB, but the refs stole one, and Pete/Russ stole the second

Absolutely!

 

[Floridahawk79]

Don't care

 

[SeahawkSteve80]

Yes. The only way to exercise past demons is to defeat the ultimate enemy

 

[daveCFPrez]

Someone remind me. After all the comments and interviews - in the public's opinion who was the one that changed/made that call? In from Carroll, or changed at the line by Wilson.

Let's not forget how utterly WEAK the attempt by Ricardo Lockett was on that play.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I was at 49. It certainly will help heal some wounds.
