For those that can remember the Blake years

As for Blake, he created some excitement and made big plays, but the short and intermediate game was really lacking.

This is how I remember it as well.  Boomer wanted to talk about playing, but Brown simply congratulated him on the MNF gig. 

I will never forget the primetime game where Boomer and the Bengals beat the Houston Oilers (who I used to hate as much as pitt) 41-14 behind 246 yards rushing by Dillon.  That was one of the most exciting games I have ever attended.
