I went to the game today (1st this season), and in the 4th the atmosphere felt exactly like it did in 96' when we beat the Ravens 28-25 to move to 4-6.  We then lost to the Steelers on the road, but then reeled off 5 in a row, beating the Falcons in the season finale on a missed 30 yd field goal by Mr. Reliable Morten Anderson to clinch the playoffs as a Wild Card.  I was in the North end zone that day and watched the stadium explode when that kick sailed wide left.  There may be many of us on this board that remember that reg season run and then the playoff run as a Wild Card, and for me, it was a better feeling than 1999 because we came from nowhere as a young team and shocked the NFL world.  2017 was similar, but different.  If it happens this year, it would top both 1996 and 2017 IMHO, because we have been so bad for so long, especially last year, and it would defy everyone's expectations.  Here's hoping it happens, high draft pick be damned.
