    is iconic to me, I hope they never change that horseshoe! There has been a lot of history about that helmet as I look back and I hope it will be more moving forward.

  1. I'm hoping AR stays healthy, and we don't have to deal with a backup to finish the season again.
  2. Don't let," if only we did this", get to you. We had a pretty decent year considering. Besides we were not going anywhere even if we made the playoffs this year.
  3. Mine, to this day is not so much one play as it is over confidence. Going into Super Bowl 3, we had a great year, lots of talent on the team steam rolled the Browns, in the NFL championship 34 to 0 and was a 17-point favorite to beat the American Football league, Jets. I don't think I ever recovered the embarrassment of facing my friends at school the next day, after bragging the week before. Back then the pro bowl was played after the Super Bowl, and when they introduced the pro bowlers before the game, the crowd would boo the Colts that made the pro bowl. for losing to the Jets.
  4. He needs to be smarter on how to protect himself. With his size most defenses are not going to cut him any slack on how they hit him to bring him down.
  5. Maybe if he changed his name back to Daruis Leonard that would help. That version was who everyone remembered.
  6. Rodger's mind might be saying "yes" I can do this, but his body might be saying otherwise.
  7. It' not something I would personally like for them to wear often. But it was different in a college sort of way. Like Duke maybe. what is everyone's thoughts on that.
  8. I thought that with his size that he would be more durable but, you never know, it could be because of his lack of time playing in college, he was used to being a bull sort of speak and has not learned how to protect himself, how to fall or slide. I think that is and art in itself to survive in the NFL to stay heathy. I mean look at Brees, Brady, Peyton, and a lot of others that had long careers. I don't know if that is something that is instinct or can be taught.
  9. I'm happier for Richardson, the man deserves more possible weapons on offense to get his lack of on field experience up to speed and also open up a better passing game with the running game threat now.
  10. The Manning Brothers did slow down the Patriots of getting to and winning a lot more Super bowls they could have had.
  11. Yea me too, I knew Chicago had a good defense then, but their QB situation was really bad in that Super Bowl. the best thing they had going then was Devin Hester.
  12. It was amazing coming back from 21 points after the first half against the Patriots. That usually didn't happen to New England back then, especially in a game with so much on the line.
  13. I learned a valuable lesson that night, never drink too much when your losing bad, and storm off to bed to go to sleep and your wife gets to tell you the next morning about the miracle comeback that you missed seeing.
  14. Just get Taylor Swift to come to the next game and all of this will be forgotten.
  15. My dad was a big John Unitas fan. And I started watching him play in the very late 50's with my dad. Also, there was something about that horseshoe on that helmet that sealed the deal that I fell in love with. There was an interesting article I read years later about how Johnny U was originally drafted by the steelers, then cut by them. When a reporter at the time asked the head coach of the steelers why he was cut, his reply was that he didn't think that Johnny Unitas was smart enough to play Quarterback in the NFL. That led later, him ending up with the Colts. The rest is history. John's historic 58 and 59 championship victories, jump started national interest we have come to enjoy many decades later.
