We'd probably go 14-2 straight to the SB and be heavily favored, only to lose by 3 pts in the final minute to an inferior, but politically charged team aided by corrupt officials and a cheating head coach.
Ouch...thanks for taking me THERE again....now my day is shot!
That 2001 team should have mopped the floor with the Patriots...I still remember Dre Bly's whiff on a tackle attempt that led to the receiver getting OB and saving enough time for the last 2 plays...I get physically nauseous every time I think about it. The only good thing is that now I know the Seattle fans have the exact same feeling...misery loves company!
If Tavon was 1/2 the player that Hakim was, this Rams offense would be enough to make the playoffs. But if he were 1/2 the player Hakim was, he'e also be the best weapon on this team now.
The problem for this Rams offense is that there is no Warner, no Faulk, no Bruce, no Pace, no Holt, no Proehl, no Timmerman, no McCollum....the lack of offensive talent between what we have now versus what we had then is a chasm as wide as the Gulf of Mexico.
