Falcons in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, take on the Eagles. Down by 13 points with less than 5 minutes less, Falcons score 2 TDs to win.
Got to agree with the previous post about Michel.Philly's kicking game was in shambles all season.The injured Mike-Mayer was only 8-17 on the year.They choose to go into their first postseason game in 18 years with a guy who previous to this game had missed his only fg attempt the season before with Miami.Steinfort(whom Mazzetti had replaced),Nick Lowery(a recent cut by the Patriots),or even the retired former Eagle kicker of '77,Horst Muhlman would of been a better choice.Way to go Dick!
Wow, what a choke job by Philly. Adding to that, that Michel guy has got to be one of the most worthless players in NFL history. In 23 NFL games, he averaged a whopping 36.7 yds per punt. LOL!! Vermiel should be hung out to dry not picking up a real kicker. Not including playoffs the guy was 9/13 just on extra points. Most high school kickers could do better than that. Anyway, always loved those Falcon teams especially the 80' squad.
I remember wathcing this game as a kid, I am a cowboys fan and we were waiting to see of the eagles or falcons would come to dallas. This was back in the days when the cowboys would coast into the playoffs and just wait around to see who they would play.
@pointman913 Dilfer won a ring as a back-up in and the Ravens D was amongst the best of all time. Ray Lewis got his ring 1st. Dilfer got his in the mail. After all, the Ravens never re-signed Dilfer and he went to Seattle.
@PlacentaPudding you're right my bad it was 14yrs and the dont let equipment managers play quarterback for the entire game at the Super Bowl, he did make a pro bowl. Granted he wasnt great, but you cant suck and have that type of longevity in this league, and the rules were alot different when he was in his prime and starting.
