31 Years Ago Today - Patriots Snow Plow Game

[johngarryvo]

how soon you guys forget the Shula days when it was perceived Miami got all the calls much the way it is perceived NE gets all the calls today.

dude I been down since ‘66, I ain't forgot a damn thing.

just like Belichick leaving the field uncovered leading up to a playoff game against the Colts in the 00s, you earned the right. That's not why we lost but it was done for a reason despite awsi's explanation. I would never trust Shula and that's a good thing, he was a tremendous competitor and would take any advantage he could get his hands on.

I did not say we lost b/c of the conditions but it was gamesmanship...

I was right there with ya up until this point.

...much like the snowplow game.

Then you went and spoiled it by equating equal conditions to unequal conditions. Look, I get that you don't like the Fins. And I get that you're still a bit wounded from the mud all those years ago. But you seem to be unable or unwilling to acknowledge that what Miami did changed the conditions of the playing field for both teams, while what the Pats did only changed the conditions of the field to favor the Pats. The two situations aren't comparable because of that fact.

I will never forget that game.........couldn't believe the refs allowed that. It looked like Shula was going to have stroke on the sidelines
