Not for the faint of heart, because this is bound to bring up some painful memories. Mo brings up a lot of the obvious what-ifs: Carson's knee, the 2005 draft class, Chris Henry, etc. We were so close so many times it makes me sick
One thing I definitely agree with Mo on is that the final three games 2006 were a more sickening choke job than the 2015 wild card playoff loss. The Christmas Eve botch XP in Denver, Shayne Graham shanking (and laughing) the game winning field goal, then the long TD pass given up in OT... A sign of things to come in the Marvin Lewis era for sure.
As sad as it is, the Marvin Lewis era will be mostly known for one thing: countless missed opportunities.
There is an article in today's CJ that lists the 11 most memorable achievements of the Marvin Lewis era. Of course that spans 15 seasons.
