Suppose instead he had broken free and ran for a TD with no fumble and went on to win the super bowl? I kind of have my doubts anyone would be sitting there saying, "Dammit! Why couldn't he just fall down"
Poor guy just can't win .. Even if he goes to NE and never fumbles, never just falls down and gets the extra yards he'll still be remembered for that one fateful fumble...  

Will Jeremy Hill really be remembered for that fateful fumble?  I don't think most NFL fans really look into how and why the Bengals lost a playoff game to the Steelers, they just look at the final score and say "Yeah, that's what I expected." At least the Steelers and Browns fans I know didn't point out Hill in that situation so much as:
- Bengals blow it, as usual
- Burfict and Jones are thugs
- Marvin Lewis can't win when it counts
- Andy Dalton sucks (yes, people in my experience are more likely to blame a QB who didn't even play in that game than Hill)
etc.

I maintain that the reason Hill is such a dog in this town is because we went into 2015 declaring that he'd be the main reason we won and we ended 2015 declaring that he was the main reason we lost.  Peaks 'n' valleys.
