1996 AFC Championship game - Jax @ NE

[sb1]

Inspired by the Milloy thread.

I was there and one of the most fun games I have ever seen in person power outage and all.
2:22:30 was the start of Otis’s fumble return play. Yes it really was that loud in the old place.

One of the guys I work with is a huge Packers fan (a good fan, appreciates talent regardless of the team, can actual discuss football). So, this season comes up a lot - of course I have to bring him back to earth with the Dan Connolly clip - of course.

Looking back, it's amazing how good the 96 Pats really were.

i lost my car keys at this game ...

the people to our right, a father/daughter/son combo, were pretty cool ... the son, i think his name was victor iirc, was like 9/10/11... he went crawling around in the muck and filth in the south end zone... he found my keys ... gave him all the cash in my pocket

Looking back on it, it's kind of jarring how bad a playoff QB Drew Bledsoe was.

Look, Drew Bledsoe, Tony Eason and Hugh Millen are very good football players and nice people.

None of them is worthy of an entire region in the 'best games' bracket.

Steve Grogan is.
