Watched the replay of Superbowl 23

It was on the NFL network, almost the entire game. Boomer completely sucked. Ickey was getting yards in chunks. You could tell Boomer wasn't getting any velocity on his throws. There were a ton of floaters. Should have benched him for the Turk. I know you can't bench the league MVP, but he had a horrible game. That Lewis Billups drop is still unbelievable. I didn't remember the 49ers 2 missed kicks. The game was there for the stealing for Cincy. Palmer should have a better Superbowl when he get's there. The Bengals need a Brooks type to compliment Rudi. Combine in 2 weeks and a day. Yahooo. New season.

Yeah, I watched it also. A great game and, yes, Boomer did not have a good game. Neither did Brooks. I was impressed by our defense and wished we had one like it now; when we get a defense like we had then, we should be in the SB. I still believe if Stanley Wilson had not gone stupid, and if Krumrie didn't get hurt, we would have won the game. However, its history.

Can our defense get any worse? I'm sure Frazier is happy Marvin let him go; this year's team will make or break Breshahand.

That's what "Tissue Paper Perry" was supposed to be. I pray the Bengals don´t waste another top draft pick on another guy like him. There are usually some stout, sure handed, speedy backs available in the later rounds of most NFL drafts. That´s when I hope they pick one up because I doubt Chris´s career is going to change for the better due to his undeniable durability problems.

Boomer sucked the entire playoffs as well as the Superbowl. He wasn't even that good the last part of the regular season. And our offense, which was dynamic the first half of the season, became very conservative the second half of the season and in the post-season. Our offense during the post-season was horrible. In the first playoff game against Seattle, I don't think we scored a single point after the fourth offensive possession of the game-scoreless for almost 3 quarters. The offense didn't even score in the Superbowl.

Complete waste of offensive talent during that era. Totally underachieved.

On the other hand, the defense was phenomenal during the post-season.

The thing I remember most about the playoffs that year is how Bruce Smith totally kicked Anthony Munoz's ass. Munoz looked helpless against Smith until Smith badly injured his ankle.That was the turning point of that game. We wouldn't have won if he hadn't gotten injured.

I still remember your reaction in the chat room when the Bengals picked Chris Perry. :lol:

I didn't think you'd ever cool off. Memorable stuff.
