Couple that with the non-call on the pass interference toward the end of the first half, and that game would have been A LOT closer than what it was.

My apologies if this was brought up earlier in the thread, but it kind of makes me chuckle a bit by how strict the officials call games now - at least on the Redskins. You can definitely tell a HUGE difference in how much the officials are trying to protect the players nowadays.

The Pats played this way for years. Not only against Indy but they did the same thing to the Rams in the 01 Super Bowl. Wr's should have fear when they catch the ball, not given a chance to catch the ball and run before being hit. That's just not football.That game plan against Buffalo was pure perfection. Brad Edwards could've easily been the MVP. But you're correct, there would've been a ton of 15 yarders and then fines. This crap that's played today is just garbage. I still watch but it's just not the same.
