I forgot how bad this was

I remember the game, but forgot how absolutely bad it was. And they followed it up with a 41-10 defeat at Cincinnati. They did rebound and make the playoffs and even upset the Oilers in the WC round (a game we watched at 7 Springs on NE weekend), but this was arguably the low point of the 80s.

A little bit of perspective, things have been worse than they are now.

The boxscore for the game. Look at the stats. Absolutely horrific. Makes last weekend look like the 84 Dolphins offense.

8 turnovers and 5 first down for a offense in a game....

 

I was on a ferry up in British Columbia Monday morning after the first loss and my wife bought a USA Today paper and two coffees

I asked to see the sports section and she just said no

 

Smart woman

 

She married me

You might want to reconsider your claim

 

okay so she just slept in a Holiday Inn Express the night before

 

Kind of crazy to hear the announcers say “and here’s the shotgun for the first time under chuck noll”

 

hmm

 

Ihe O line had Tunch and Dawson, Lipps at WR and not much else to count on, the D actually looked decent on paper, the secondary and LB's especially. Am I supposed to give thanks for this memory? LMAO.

 

enough about your sexual out of country encounters.

 

Just goes to show you every coach reaches a point where time has passed them bye. It appears to a degree that is the case with Tomlin and Belicheck.

 

Tomlins time here has been over for years.

 

i was going to say something similar too mac
that couple be getting their freak on

 

If I remember correctly, they were the last team to use it.

 

I don't need to watch that again. I was there. The only good thing was that my cousin and I moved down from our seats in the 200 level to three rows back from the field at the 50 for the fourth quarter because so many people had left early.

 

The day came for Noll and Lombardi

 

Video is available

 

Yeah Noll hated the shotgun. He thought too many things could go wrong snapping the ball that far.

 

He said 3 things can happen when you throw the ball and 2 of them are bad
