How many people remember what Joe Montana did for over three quarters of SB XXIII? Some, but probably not many. But they'll never forget the last drive. That's how it works. Guys who make plays at the end get remembered for that and guys who screw up get remembered for that.
Every game ever played has screw ups and missed opportunities. Those first three quarters give you or don't give you the opportunity to get the win at the end. Plays made at the end can overcome any mistakes made throughout and mistakes made at the end will cancel out all the good plays that came before. It's just how it is.
What I'm saying - there were plenty of opportunities to come away w/ the Win, but whatever luck or lucky bounces, never seem to bounces Cincy's way.. I'm sure if the Jeremy wouldn't have fumbled.. they would have kicked and missed a field goal w/ the same outcome .. Big Bertha is out there dinkin' and dunkin' down the field and getting the win.
