Yeah like that dropped pass of a certain TD against the Colts that cost us the game and the playoffs in '08.
everyone makes mistakes, in 2005 Denion Branch false starts on a first and goal from Denver's 5, on the next play, David Givens lets a ball go threw his hands on a quick out, then Ben Watson misses a block & Tom Brady throws the pick six to Champ Bailey on the next play. We could also mention the Troy Brown running the wrong route in the '06 AFCCG that could of resulted in a first down and game over in our favor. And then Assante Samual giving up on his man Tyre in the play and game not to be mentioned.
so yah guys makes mistakes and cost us game and potentionally SB rings if one looks at it in a certian way, in '05 if we punch that ball in as opposed to Champ Bailey's "pick six" its a `14 point turnaround and we go ahead, put the pressure on Denver to have to comeback, if we win, we host Pitt and then onto the SB against Seattle, maybe we make a nice run. In '06 we essentially seal the deal, but could not thanks to H. Evans 12th man in the huddle and Troy Brown's aforementioned wrong route. And in '07 maybe we are 19-0.
So each year '05-'07 we had our key players make mistakes, but it doesn't take away from the fact that those same players have made some key plays for us. the same is true for Jabar Gaffney, not the best WR, and had his share of opps moments, but overall he made several key plays for us
in fact, Jabar was one of the players that I was thinking of as unsung. Along with Antwain Smith.
