And yeah, that loss is my second all-time worst sports memory, behind the Royals' 1977 ALCS Game 5 choke.

Exactly, I never understood the whole game plan from the start. The wind was awful and not conducive to a breakout passing day for Bono. Plus you have -IMO one of the greatest 3rd down backs in history with Marcus and he is Not getting the ball as much as the weather should have dictated.
We should have grounded and pounded the Colts to a win- instead, of...well you know the end of the story.
