That game was something else. I remember that awesome shot of Ramsey coming out to slap Bortles hand with that look of determination and "hell yeah, man".

That's what a good team is supposed to do. You feed off each other. Too bad they ended up cannibilazing themselves. The captains of the locker room. Or, at least the clear cut superstars just couldn't keep it together.

Shame. Was hoping we would see a 4 year run start in the play offs with a Lombardi hoisted up at some point.

Unfortunately, beyond crappy play later in the year, that was when the offensive line started falling apart and Bortles started to totally lose it later in the season.  If memory serves me correctly, both OT got hurt in that game and we were playing street free agents by the end of the year.

That Pats game was a [BLEEP] blast.  I still remember Brady screaming in his offensive line's face, "Do your job!"  I thought he was going to cry.

This season has been the lowest point but 2018 was the most difficult season. Seeing it all just crumble away after that 3-1 start. That win over NE seemed to be the proof this team could win the AFC and then the season just nosedived.

Talking of great games, 2017 against Seattle will live long in my memory. Seeing the Bank packed again, the locals having fun and throwing beers at the ejected Seahawks players, scoring points, big plays, it was everything we had been waiting for.

Theres one thing that gives me hope and im not trying to derail the thread but the first year for a rookie QB is always tough, but we have thrown every wrong move and bad situation we could have at Lawrence this year and the kid just keeps rolling with the punches. Doesnt complain, doesnt lose his head, keeps going out and trying to make something happen. Theres something to appreciate with how hes handled himself this season, especially with the reputation he has. Never complained or come out in the media moaning, just gets on with it.

Its not what you want to do with your rookie QB but i think it may make him stronger down the line.
