My takeaway I would rather have Mahomes, Super Bowls and no defense than ASS11 and Defense.

FUN FACT: That 28-2 win over Jacksonville ended up becoming a Scorigami.

Interesting theory on how we got Andy here (But may bring up some PTSD as it looks back on the Haley era). (18 min video)

Here is the same video that gets right to the theory but with out the info about the drive that possibly got us Andy. (less PTSD of the Haley era but it does mention Romeo Crennel) (Starts @ 11:00 minute in)

It appears that many Planeteers who chose to engage with this thread-thing are callous when it comes to my sensitive feelings ...

I'm not nostalgic about AS11 and 4-yard passes on 3rd and 12. I don't long for the days of Donnie Avery and Anthony Fasano. Far from it.

As one who is forced to take hourly insulin injections after having ingested too many boxes of Mahomes Magic Crunch, I am all in with our current approach to scoring more points than the enemy du jour.

However, I'm not thinking in binary terms. I would simply prefer to have a dangerous passing game that is complimented by a fearsome defense and a running back that has HOF potential.

Is that too much to ask?

FAX THE REASONABLE

Need to revisit that game thread.

That game felt like winning the Super Bowl compared to the nightmarish Fat Scott shitshow.

Didn’t Tamba have a pick 6 that game too?

Yep, good recall.

Possibly the easiest pick six to have ever been pick six'd.

Andy's win against the Eagles on primetime (I think Thursday night?) in that 2013 season was a game that always sticks in my memories. It wasn't particularly flashy or anything, but had some really nice moments of just competent, good football on both sides of the ball. It was clear to everybody watching it who the better team was, and everybody seemed to be happy for Andy. And of course, there's that postgame interview with Sal in which Andy basically told him to go screw himself in the most polite Andy way possible.

For me, that was the highlight of that particular season. I don't look back on that season fondly because of how it ended, but that Eagles game was a particularly bright spot and a nice snapshot memory.
