[@vDeadbolt]

Superbowl 43 was such a heart breaking story to me. I saw it live back when I was a kid. Me and my cousin were huge Steelers fans back in the day (my cousin still is one to this day). When we found out that the Cardinals were going to the Superbowl, we both got on madden, picked the steelers and intentionally tried to sack Warner as many times as we could to the point where he got injured. We celebrated it. I always thought Kurt Warner was a d-bag back then. So when we watched the Superbowl that year, we were glued to our seats. When James Harrison converted that interception to a TD, we were jumping with joy. Then Warner tossed it to Fitzgerald and scored, we were panicking because we thought it was over by then. It wasn't until the last drive where Santioni Holmes made that clutch TD and gave Steelers that win. That win made our entire week. Later down the line, I was watching some NFL documentaries, and I came across the story of Kurt Warner and his journey of taking the Rams to the Superbowl. That story touched me because of what Warner had to go through in order to make it to the top. The guy went from bagging groceries to earning rings. Not only did he lead the offense with the Greatest Show on Turf, but he carried a franchise that was tanking. He was the literal comeback kid. So when I realized that he helped the Cardinals of all teams make it to the SuperBowl, I regret not cheering for him sooner. He should have won that game. He should have cemented himself as one of the GOATS for helping 2 franchises go from rags to riches. But unfortunately, he didn't win. Not a lot of people do talk about him at all, which is very unfortunate. But after watching that performance of him and Fitzgerald smashing through the Steelers defense, I was impressed. I'm honestly glad they made a film about him though, he deserves one.

[@vanessarussell7048]

I agree. That was our best chance in our whole team history to win a SB. Now in 2024 we have new coaches, a promising QB and a young team so who knows? Maybe one day. 😊

[@philipdawson7800]

As devastating as "The Choke" was for the Oilers, maybe the '93 loss to the Chiefs was more devastating. That team had won 11 straight, had earned a bye into the DR, playing a KC team they shut out early in the season (without Montana, tbf), while going through all sorts of turmoil (Buddy Ryan, Baby-gate, the stadium conundrum, Jeff Alm's suicide et.c.). And then, in front of a record crowd, they lose in gut punching fashion to KC & it was the moment football died in Houston. Bud Adams blew up the team, they went 2-14 the next year & left for Tennessee 2 years after that.

The Music City Miracle was Bills’ karma for starting Rob Johnson over Doug Flutie, who was the WB who got them into the playoffs to begin with.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Harry Engel I agree with you 100%. Johnson rode the pine behind Mark Brunell in Jacksonville but played maybe one good game w/great drives his last year leading impressive drives & setting a completion percentage for a first time starting QB despite it being his 3rd year. Bills signed him to a big contract for 1998. Flutie’s Football Life episode on it was really good. Of course Flutie became starter when Johnson got hurt & Flutie mania kicked off. The next year Flutie beat Johnson for the start & got the Bills to the playoffs but in 1999 the Bills were still used to playoffs. Johnson started the last meaningless game while starters rested & played lights out. Suddenly Wade Phillips is told by the owner that he needed to start Johnson over Flutie. Johnson struggled against Titans defense when Jeff Fisher was still in his Buddy (Ryan) Ball prime but the Bills were still winning. They just needed to kick off the ball & cover the kick off. The day that play happened I yelled at the TV. “That’s what you get for benching Fkutie!” I always liked Flutie. In September 2005 I went to a Carolina Panthers game to see the visiting Patriots. I had a decent camera for the time & during Patriots warm ups I took a great photo from of Tom Brady & Doug Flutie & the unknown third stringer. 3 years later I went back to look at the photo & sure enough the then unknown 3rd stringer in the photo was Matt Cassel in his rookie year. I was pleased. 😀 Anyway, after that loss tje Bills didn’t make the playoffs again for another 17 seasons! Now I wouldn’t wish that on Bills fans & Ralph Wilson was a great human being but the football gods didn’t care about that & he never saw the playoffs again who’re his death in 2014. I wish that the Bills had danced with the one who brought them. 😀

Harry Engel Once again. I agree 100%. You know the game & the players. Wilson has become an incredible QB. Tough loss to the Cards who just kept hanging around.

@@elliemyers6435 Seriously. I want to strangle whoever in this video said that Tampa Bay was obviously the best team in those playoffs. HOF defensive players everywhere, but Brad Johnson was their QB, and Philly had their number in the playoffs AND the Bucs hadn't won a game in cold weather in it's history. Eagles were red hot at the time and were excellent on both sides of the ball. They even managed to keep winning without Mcnabb for 6 weeks in the season with Koy Detmer and then AJ Feeley. Then Mcnabb returns just in time for the playoffs and you just know it's their time. Not to mention, the winner of that game was going to beat the geriatric Raiders for all of the marbles in the Super Bowl without a doubt. You just knew it. Look at how badly Tampa Bay whooped them. They blew them out worst than they did us. Ronde's pick 6 felt like he was running for eternity. You just had to sit there and helplessly watch him run across the Vet, the last game in the stadium's history, which come think of it is fitting because that place was a dump, but it was our dump, so it was just brutal. The people on this show who said no one cared are way out of touch. One of the most sports crazed cities were devastated by that game and at the time were currently mired in a 25 year championship drought for all 4 of it's major sports teams.

[@elliemyers6435]

@@sgshumblecrumb6046 Absolutely....the pain I felt from that loss was so visceral...and you're right, we had their number in the playoffs, plus as you said, Brad freaking Johnson was their starting QB and they just laid the wood to us. Ronde's interception was like a stake through the heart....That's one of the lasting images of the vet, him just sprinting down the field for what seemed like forever. The vet was a real piece of shit, but it was our hole, and it was a GIANT home field advantage, and for it to be closed out like that was that horrible of a loss was so brutal. I remember that we kept winning even when McNabb went down, and when he came back for the playoffs, it was like "let's do this...." and then, yeah, complete misery for three hours.
