Midseason injuries to ben where old and young backups split the time and kept us above water... that's happened a few times before, plus when he was suspended
Bell getting his knee blown out by Cinci, just like last year
Bryant not playing in the first 5 games, but putting up the same kind of numbers as last year, when he didn't play in the first 6
The end of the season was exactly like it was in 93, with it coming down to a jets loss and us beating the browns
The first playoff game vs the Bengals... The bengals starting QB getting knocked out by us (albeit a few weeks before) and handing them a devastating playoff loss all like 05
The end of that game was eerily similar to the Indy game in 05, where a series of longshot plays and situations played out to keep us from blowing a game we dominated the entire time till the end.
Having to face Peyton Manning as fairly big underdogs on the road in the divisional series, just like in 05......
The injuries to two top backs and the QB for a stretch this season is a lot like what happened in the legendary 76 season, well without the defense behind it of course....
And speaking of the defense... doesn't it's role seem a lot more like 95 when the D lost Woodson and couldn't stop anyone the first 7 weeks... the team changed to a wide open offense and changed the way the d was attacking and got semi respectable down the stretch, in a way a lot of people didn't notice...
Just so many memories seem toi be here this season... its like the 50 year review of past glories and heartbreaks all over again
