I doubt Billups runs this one out. He is better off taking the touchback.

Jerry was great, Joe was great, Roger Craig, Taylor, the o-line, they were all great because they made one another better. This whole "Joe had lots of help" argument is bullshit. Bradshaw, Aikman, all the greats had lots of help. Ever stop to think maybe these QBs made the guys around them better?

Yea, especially in 84 when he had ummmm, let me see i know they were 15-1 and ummm rice was uhhh no, ummm brent jones yea uhhhh no, well i know taylor was on, uhhhhh no suppolo....uh no well freddie solomon was uhh not there. hmmmm 15-1 and that team still is considered to have all those players and yet it doesnt. craig for the double 1000. Your right montana like in 82 had all the Hall of famers. Favre? riddlen boy? what is the point at that comparison?

I know a few players with Rings who beat their wives, used drugs, etc. So G_d prevented some of the players on the Bengals who were good people from winning a Super Bowl because Billups beat his girlfriend? Grow up, idiot.

quietriotfan1976........Lewis wasn't a good person before this happen! He beat his girlfriend up in 1987 and she had 6 plastic surgeries. The ball going right between his fingers is nothing but The Higher Power letting him know he would never have this ring because of the bad person he was! I guess I find it funny how people that don't even know him could say he was Never the same. He was the same person before he dropped the pass as he was after he dropped the pass!

[quietriotfan1976]

Billups was never the same after this..his career slipped, he left Ciny a few years later, and then was killed when his car crashed into a tree, and he was ejected from the vehicle, his body making contact with another tree nearby.

Considering Billups is Deceased now, he wont be dropping anything.

@ferraricarr8 what cost them the game is they didnt play well enough to win. They played well enough to not lose
