On the rare occasion when they show a Seattle game on TV, and Deion is healthy, and he makes a catch[which is extremely rare] I do smile a little bit.

I was BEYOND angry in 2006, but I'm over it now. He was a big part in us winning championships, but I really don't miss him, and there's no use holding a grudge. Having Randy and Wes will do that =]

just another player to get paid to leave NE, and dwindle into a below avg player

I love him! He got us a first round draft pick, and opened a spot for Randy Moss. One of the best things that ever happened to this team, and I'll never forget it.

I agree Going through the constant drama of it all was a f*n nightmare at the time tho, and it extended even into the following year with the "Brady misses Branch" etc talk. It all worked out in the end

To this day I felt Antonio Bryant would have been the better draft pick that year & look at what he's doing right now down in Tampa!

I don't hate or miss him, he's just another guy. Looking at his stats since he left, he has been nothing but just another guy.

I think i take a shot at mentioning Reche Caldwell and the '06 campaign. I like Caldwell and think he got a bad rap in NE trying to fill the shoes of two (at the time) beloved WRs that left, Branch and Givens. Its tough to fill those shoes without some fan hate . . . I think Caldwell played solid in the '06 year, put Branch like numbers, and was clutch in the SD playoff game.

true he dropped that pass in the AFCCG, but perhaps he was too open and had too much time to think about it.

But we also must remember that Givens and Branch were not far from mental errors either . . . some of you may or may not remember in the '05 Denver playoff game in the drive in which Champ Bailey pick Brady. We had the ball on the 5 (or maybe 4) yard line and we driving for the go ahead score. On 1st and goal, Branch has a false start (man how does a WR false start ), making is 1 and goal from the 10 and therby taking away some of our playbook. Branch makes up for it a little by getting a 5 yad catch, but is seocnd down and we lost the down. . . On the next play it was a quick out to Givens who proceeded to let the back go through his hands and another mental gaff . . . no its 3 and goal from the five, we are forced to pass, and bailey makes the pick and the rest is history. In Branch doesn't false starts (and thus losing us a down) and/or if givens makes that catch, we probably score there and the game could of been different, but we didn't in large part to to mistakes by our two great WRs, those mistakes were just as critical as Caldwells mistake . . . but as the fate of history will have it more is remember about Caldwell drop than Givens and Branchs mistakes in the red zone in the critical drive against Den in '05
