You beat me to it. You can play the what if game with every NFL team. But this team has more what ifs than an oak tree has acorns in a good year.

But what if Palmer hadn't got his knee shredded on the 2nd play, the first was a run up the gut for two yards or something ? of that playoff game ? I'll believe until my dying day we would have won that game, if. And though we probably wouldn't have beat the Colts or Pats that season to advance. How might that have changed Marvin's legacy ?

How many more playoff games with a healthy Palmer would we have gotten to ? won ? I know, I know, you can keep going. Greg Cook, Kijana Carter, Bill walsh, on and on.

It just wasn't in the cards for Marvin for a bunch of reasons. But he brought us out of the abyss and I'll always be thankful for that.
