X-Clown....Again

[Anybodyhome]

Tell me Mike McCoy and John Fox didn't pull this one out of the vault...

...the only difference was the Pittsburgh safeties made it much easier for Denver by playing in the box against the run and nobody was back...

I thought the exact same thing last night and was just looking at video of the Delhomme-Steve Smith winning TD pass against the Rams in the 2004 playoffs.

It's also weird that, as of 2004 and think it is still true, that was the longest playoff game in history. The Broncos lighting fast victory last night over the Steelers was the shortest.

Also, both games had the exact same final score, 29-23. Fox must be in Deju Vu land. Here's hoping the results of playing the Patriots is different this time.

It wasn't same play. It was designed to look like a running play with double tight ends and the wide receiver on the other side of Thomas moved from wide out to the slot. There was only one receiver wide in the pattern and he ran a crossing route not a skinny post.

On the X clown route in 2003 there were mutiple receivers, Smitty started in and then ran a skinny post to beat the safety.
