This exact day 17 years ago.....

[xxAQUA JOSHUAxx]

We were the first game of the NFL season on Thursday night up against the defending super bowl champs the Pittsburgh Steelers. I remember the excitement and the hype we had that year only to be so disappointed.

 

[Fred Bear]

Disappointed for more than that

Brees should have been the starter.

Brees should have been the starter.

I do not think Brees would of had the career in Miami that he had in NO

Brees should have been the starter.

Oh, what could have been.

This was also Goodell's first game as commissioner and the first game on NBC when they got back into the NFL.

Until last year, we were on Sunday night 3 times over 15 years.

Is this a "Lemmings" approach to the Dolphins upcoming season opener? - LOL

Brees should have been the starter.

But he was "injury prone". - LOL

Eh, not exactly. Brees was a better QB although Thill has talent. But different schemes, systems, coaches, philosophy’s etc are different and affect each player differently unless you are Brady or Marino

And one of those was the Steelers game when the punt stuck in the ground IIRC.

What was the other one?

that was the 0-3 loss with John Beck at the helm, right?

Those days are over. Unless everything falls apart. Which it never does. Never.
