Right now on NFLN

I only blame he who shall not be named for one of those interceptions. The first was all on him while the second was a missed hot read by a rookie WR(Holliday?).

 

But the hot read was the same play from the first INT. If he just lobs it up over the head of the defender, the receiver takes it to the house!

 

I would love to know how Neil would be viewed by us if we had won that game. Like do you think that he would be a guy that ultimately would be thought of as a Trent Dilfer? When I was a kid I would really defend him hard just because I was a Steelers fan but man I remember watching that game as a 12 or 13 year old and I wanted to kill him at that moment.

 

I have that 1995 game on DVD, along with several others from that season.

I have never been an O'Donnell basher. He's taken far too much abuse for that SB XXX loss. People forget that he had a monster season in '95, and if not for his deep sideline completion to Ernie Mills in the AFCCG (a perfect pass and catch that, under today's rules, would have been incomplete), the Steelers would not have been in that SB.

 

I agree that a lot of what he done here was better than what he looked like in the Super Bowl. It was a perfect storm for him though because he lost to a hated rival and threw what people thought were boneheaded picks. I used to pretend to be him in the yard when I wasn't pretending to be Kordell. LOL.

 

He currently holds 3rd place for completion percentage in NFL history during that 1995 season. Those two "slipped" passes were ridiculously outside the norm for him during that season that I will always question whether it was purposely done or not. If there was a coach/owner combo that I didn't trust more than Belicheat and Kraft it would be Barry Switzer and Jerry Jones.

 

O'Donnell in the yard, Kordell in the closet?

 

He was really good that year. My problem with him was, the INTs obviously, but wanting a bunch of money after a performance like he had against the stinky Cowboys!
You pretty much can't trust Jerry Jones and anybody!

 

That's what I was gonna say earlier. He asked to get paid after losing. That's not exactly the way it works.

 

Time to move to a new house.
