Yeah it was the last one without a bye. Last one in January I believe as well. I wasn't suggesting they could change anything. They kept Callahan so it was what it was. My point was that Gannon was going against a guy that knew what they were gonna do and had an all time defense on top of that. He was probably an Eagles fan that year
.
Yes.it was. Good call. Yeah Gannon was pretty fukked. Did threw the ball a million times with.only 10 ints the entire year and then threw half of that in one game..the biggest game. It affected how he was remembered, too. Because for a four year stretch, Rich was an elite QB. Yeah I.bet they wanted the Eagles to win, lol. Wouldve been a rematch of SB 15. The Eagles had the Bucs number, too. They had beaten them like 4 straight times. The Rams had fell off...the stage was set for Philly to win. That Joe Jurevicius play on the crossing route was huggee. Changed the entire game.
Its truly amazing how things have changed. 2:1 td/int ratio used to mean something. Now its basically the floor. You cant intimidate QBs or WR anymore and it shows.
Man tell me about it. Ppl dont realize that if you were 20/10, 22/11, 24/12, 28/14 etc..you were balling. When Chad Pennington emerged with a 68 percent comp pct, with a 101 passer rating and I believe 22 pass td to 6 int, it was awe inspiring. He briefly got some Montana comparisons. The Raiders snuffed it out in the divisional playoffs and then he got hurt the following preseason and it dwindled away. Thats why I am so defensive of Brad Johnson. He was alwayd a legit good QB. He should not be categorized with Dilfer. He had 22 td vs 6 ints and 3,054 yards in 13 games. I liked Brad
