Locked, loaded and buried in a foot of snow......
And don’t remind me about your front door being open..........
....and see #84 for Dr. Big’ol’s diagnosis.
Then the Chargers had to travel to sub arctic Cincy the following week. That game was over before it started.
They did make it a low risk contract.....
$1.3 mill if he makes the opening day roster. If Carl hits all incentives the total payout could reach 6.5 mill and a second year.
Great game but that was for the NFC title rather than a divisional game. One of the most one sided divisional round games I ever saw was the Giants 49-3 thrashing of the Niners back in January of ‘87.
I guess I hate the Poe-pounders worse...
You also remember the 1981 Raiders/Browns divisional game played in wind chills of -40 to -45. Raiders win 14-12 when Brian Sipe throws an ill-advised pass inthe endzone that was intercepted. The team had driven the ball right down the field to the Oakland 12 when the play, known as Red Right 88 was called.
Then coach Sam Rutigliano chose not to go for a field goal, as kicker Don Cockroft missed one of similar distance on the same side of the fieldearlier in the game.
Thanks for reminding me.
I am not a huge NFL fan but hands down the 74 Oakland Miami playoff game was the best I ever saw. Stabler vs Griese with the lead changing hands a number of times. Stabler throwing the winning touchdown while he was being taken down almost on his knees when he released the ball is also probably the greatest play I have ever seen as well.

Maybe it’s the Ron Jeremy look that Jeff Fisher has displayed that has me taking the 3 points. We shall see
apologies for the double
