NFL Network -- Greatest Comebacks

by Zappa on Oct 5, 2008 12:18 AM MDT Comment 10 comments

I just got done wasting an hour of my life watching NFL Network's Greatest Comebacks episode. With John Elway's 48 4th quarter miracles, I thought for sure The Drive or even The Drive II would be featured somewhere on this list. Instead, I was forced to endure two Joe Montana comebacks, a Jeff Garcia comeback, a Rex Grossman comeback, a Vinny Testaverde comeback, a Baltimore Ravens comeback, two other 49er losses, two Cowboy comebacks, and not one....NOT ONE John Elway comeback victory. Not his 2 touchdown in two minutes performance against the Chiefs, not his two fourth down conversion 98 yard drive to beat the Oilers in the Divisional Playoffs, not his 98 yard drive to beat the Browns to advance to the Super Bowl...nothing. No a damn thing. I vow never, EVER to watch NFL Network produced garbage again. I feel like I have been slapped in the face and spit upon. Disgusting.

I felt the need to rant and rave about this....I am livid. Screw NFL Network and the morons they have working for them.

NFL Network

They must be biased against the Broncos. They did a top-10 of best players not in the hall, and Randy Gradishar was not on it. Steve Tasker was, however. Steve Tasker!!! Give me a break!

there was a game...

where we blocked a FG or an extra point at the very end of the game. I can’t remember, but we might have run it back for a score too. I think it was 80s or very early 90s. There were many, many great come backs.

Wasn't it

blocked and returned, called back, and then blocked and returned again?

That game against SD

Was blocked by Dennis Smith but Denver had called TO right before the snap, so SD lined up again and D> SMith blocked it again with Louis Wright picking up the ball a running it in from 60 yards. Epic

somethings wrong, Trying to conquer these fears i thought were gone. And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world i don't belong

I would love to see that sequence

I’m too young to have seen it I think.

I understand they were doing the greatest comebacks, as in biggest deficits.

Still, the 19-0 deficit that Elway erased for his first comeback victory back in 1983 was a good one. Instead we get some obscure game in 1957 between the 49ers and Lions.

Did they at least have the Fandemonium game?

What about the Music City Miracle? Or Eli Manning’s comeback in the last Super Bowl? To me this sounds like incompetence more than bias. I’ve always enjoyed the NFL Network, hopefully they don’t slip to the level of the 4-letter network.

3-1.
