I know it's chic to believe it's a 'wasted season' if you don't win the Super Bowl, but I've never really thought that way. It's not about one day in February, it's about sitting down for 3 hours every week, cheering your team on for 4 months. I think it can be easy to forget that, because we're being conditioned to move on from the past immediately. The previous season gets broken down statistically, and is reduced to being referred to numerically.
For that reason, I thought maybe it would be nice to hear your favorite memories of the 2011 season.
Here are the first 10 things that come to my mind, hopefully getting some of the obvious ones out of the way:
- Gronk drags Redskins. I think this would be a pretty popular one. His preseason gronkdrag of Laurinitis should be on the list, too.
- Gronk channels Gumby while landing on his neck. Still very tough to watch, but once I'm watching, I can't look away.
- Gronk eats an energy bar.
- Vince picks off two passes.
- Wes Welker comes up with an utterly incredible diving fingertip catch in Denver on the goal line. For all the **** he'll take for the SB drop, this catch showed off how great of a receiver he really is.
- Gronkowski tips the ball to himself in mid-air against the Broncos in the playoffs.
- The back-to-back comebacks vs. the Bills & the Dolphins.
- Ninkovich having his yearly multiple-interception game against a divisional opponent.
- Sterling Moore vs. Lee Evans. I'll file Cundiff's miss under this one, also.
- Brady's touchdown pass to Hernandez to beat the Cowboys.
