Wow! Sounds like something I would write.

You are correct. I would say it was the most anticlimactic of the three Super Bowl wins. You just knew they were going to do it.

It was great that Rypien earned the MVP, but I thought Wilbur Marshall had a strong claim. He was nuclear powered during that game.

And it was indeed the last hurrah. Bobby Beathard had already departed. Coach Gibbs was soon to follow. The Squire passed away a few years later. And the team departed RFK. A series of ever greater disappointments that continue to this day. But I will leave it at that.

Thanks for the reminder. Nice pick me up on a cold day.

Brad Edwards really could have been named the MVP as well. Some of the hits that he had would be 15 yarders today. He just blew up Buffalo's wr's all game long.

Actually I don't know any of them would be 15 yarders now. He mainly led with his shoulder. Great timing.
