1985 AFCDG WTF... DS??

[TommyD4207]

They scared to let Eason throw the ball

Wouldn't you be?

Besides the Raiders were having a great time turning the ball over anyway.

Dante was Mr Fixit. If part of the team was struggling just insert him as the coach of that unit and the problem was solved.

Loved seeing Howie Long mouthing off before the game. He already had that game counted as a win. That was the game when Pat Sullivan got under the skin of Matt Millen after it was over and Millen took a swing at him.

Then the Pats went on and Squished The Fish the next week. Don Shula never recovered from that.

2:16:32... that kind of freaked me out TBH.

What amazing longevity!!

Edited because I am an idiot. Here is the moment.

i have this game on betamax lol.

85 was an awesome year. the pats became the first team in nfl history to win three rd playoff games and make it to the superbowl. and they beat their hated rivals. the jets raiders and dolphins on the way. back then people were setting up areas on street corners selling pats superbowl gear all over the place.

Was is Chuck or Pat talking trash to Millen?

Pat.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Pat.

That what I had remembered.

 

[1960Pats]

Yes thanks, it was Pat who made the dumb move to go after a player right after a huge loss. Not his smartest moment.

 

[TommyD4207]

Watching this now.

Remember when pre-game shows were tight, and gave you all the information you needed?

It's obvious everyone thought the Raiders would win (they had just won the Super Bowl the year before), but there wasn't an anti-Patriots hatred by 15 players on the set.

In fact, the only former player wasn't even on set, and Ahmad Rashad was pretty damn good at his job as 'sideline' guy.

Millen had been woofing the whole game. Not smart to pick on a guy like 2 feet taller than you, but it wasn't as if Millen didn't have it coming.

Bunch of sore losers, that Raiders team. I suppose we should have remembered that too.

This thread got me going so I went over to the This Day in Patriots History thread and to You Tube and have been re-watching those playoff games. Lots of fun.

Do women actually like sex beyond 10 minutes? I mean, I wouldn’t consider myself a 2-minute man, but I’ve found when you get into the double digits, she is either satisfied or not going to be satisfied. Never really knew if it’s just BS talk about guys going for hours. Many it’s just that I haven’t been with this kind of woman, but I’ve yet to find one who actually wants to go on for an hour, even if it’s good. When she is fully satisfied, I find myself pressured to finish as well. Is this normal? Anyone?

No that is not normal for a woman to be fully satisfied. Most if not all in my experience have been multiorgasmic and often incoherent and unable to communicate their degree of satisfaction. That excludes the one nymphomaniac that was quite capable of expressing her desire for more long after I was too exhausted to respond.

The faces of the guys (especially the two black guys) in the background make that pic...

The 49ers beat the LOLphins in the previous SB; the Raiders beat the Redskins in the one before that.

The Raiders QB situation that year was... let's just say... not good.

I remember during the build-up for SB20 that either Filene's or Jordan Marsh downtown continuously ran all 3 PO games on a TV that was placed in the middle of a big Pats display on the first floor. People here were really, really psyched-up for our first Super Bowl appearance back then.
