It's a shame Bob Sanders never stayed healthy. A lot of the reason was how he played. When he was on the field, he was a wrecking ball. Amazing how one player can transform the worse run defense in history into what we saw in that playoff run.
This is virtually the perfect Video! I loved part 1, the 3 seed or lower has hosted the conference championship game only 3 times . 2006 Colts, 2008 Cardinals, and 2021 LA Rams
Same way for the Rams in 2021 in LA for the Wild Card round. On the road for divisional round, at home for the conference Championship game. Back in the day the 3’rd seed would get a bye but have to play on the road but could still host the Conference Championship game. This happened only once when the Redskins beat the Bears and the Vikings beat the 49’ers. Redskins were the higher seed but still were on the road for the Divisional round. Now you can have a losing record and win your division which is crazy. I’d rather have it where if you have such a bad tank division and the best team is like 6-11 for example then it should be by wins and loses on who hosts like the in the 80’s.
One of the games of my childhood. Gutted the Pats lost but in hindsight, happy the Colts won this and Peyton Manning finally got his first Super Bowl appearance.
This is very similar to what happened prior to the opening game of the 1994 World Cup between Bolivia & Germany at Soldier Field in Chicago. In the original plans for the 1994 World Cup, it was going to be RFK Stadium in DC that would host the opening game. However once FIFA saw how much of a nightmare putting the opening game there would be, they decided to move it to Chicago & announced it a year before the tournament began. At the time, no one in Chicago expected to be hosting the opening game of the World Cup mainly because FIFA told them that they would be hosting 3 group stage matches towards the end of group play, a round of 16 match & a quarterfinal. Because of this switch the ticket office at Soldier Field became overwhelmed for a period of about 6 months between July-November 1993 by supporters of both Bolivia & Germany (the two countries playing in the opening game) calling on an almost daily basis about getting tickets. The ticket office became so overwhelmed by these calls along with people calling about Bears tickets that they asked FIFA to assist them. FIFA determined that the best way to solve this issue was to give an allocation of tickets to each country's FA & fans would have to go through their country's FA if they wanted tickets to the opening game. They also told the Soldier Field ticket office to only sell World Cup tickets for the other matches to locals or to people that were physically present to purchase them which meant that fans of the countries that were playing already needed to be in Chicago if they wanted to see their country play. As for how the opening game of the 1994 World Cup turned out, Germany beat Bolivia 1-0 thanks to a Jurgen Klinsmann goal though it was largely overshadowed by the drama surrounding OJ Simpson & the infamous car chase that would follow (which itself created a massive broadcasting controversy with Game 5 of the NBA Finals later that night).
Speaking of which, through no fault of their own, they got the undisputed worst ending possible, A, Scoreless Tie, that went to, Penalty Kicks, a disaster of epic proportions, simple as that.
My dad bought me tickets to the Chiefs game for Christmas that year (I was 10). The season ticket holder who sold us the tickets shipped the entire package, which back then included a ticket for both the wild card game, and the AFC Championship, should the Colts happen to host. When the Colts clinched hosting the AFCCG, the original season ticket holder FRANTICALLY started trying to get in touch with my dad to get his tickets back. My dad, being the nice guy he is, shipped them back. I hope I'm half the man he is to do something like that in the future because it would be hard to not just keep those for myself.
The Chargers did that to themselves, through, carelessness/arrogance, and, having no kicking game, they, seriously, "might," have been a, Dynasty, with, better, STs, and, had they kept Drew Brees, simple as that.
How was it karma? Marlon McCree, Nate Keading, Eric Parker, Drayton Florence, and even Marty Schottenheimer all made awfully stupid mistakes that allowed the Pats to stay in the game, and they won because the Chargers chargered.
@@Scott_Dunbar_II Marlon, here's a clue: when your coach is telling you to go to the ground and NOT try to run if you get an interception, follow those orders, for once...
@Scott_Dunbar_II It was, Karma, after they danced on their logo, as if their, "victory," had anything to do with anything they did, similar to what happened to the Seahawks in 2014, this was the year that their legendary cheapness finally came back to bite them.
@@Unknown-bq9idAs soon as their reactions all centered around how, "disrespectful," the Patriots were, I knew that they weren't mentally tough enough to win a SB, period.
I remember Ticketmaster using the lottery system to sell concert/event tickets back in the late 90’s. Their reasoning was that when people waited outside the ticket booth overnight for a FCFS policy, some of the people became disorderly, would throw trash all around the lot, & even go to the bathroom right outside the building. They also used the lottery system if the ticket office was inside of a retail store, as the retailers didn’t want tons of people hanging around outside their store detouring their customers. I hated having to buy tickets using the lottery system.
interesting, to me anyway, side note about some of the stats in the early part of this video, specifically the stuff about a 3 seed never hosting a championship game in the 6 team playoff format prior to this. there were 2 versions of the 6 team format, prior to 2003 it was 3 division winners and 3 wildcards. for reasons that are not entirely clear but that i love to ponder, the switch to 4 divisions and 2 wild cards opened the flood gates on high seeds being knocked off before the conference championship. my best guess is that the accompanying change to way schedules are made created more opportunity for only mildly good teams to win a few extra games and grab higher seeds than they would have under the old schedule.
The Redskins in 1987 are the first three seed to host a conference championship. But that was before the six team playoff format. So at least the Resskins had a bye.
@jcrhea001 When the Cowboys lost to the Packers two weeks ago in the first round, that meant that the Lions were the first ever 3 seed to host a divisional round game. That was impossible to happen under the two previous playoff formats.
I do gotta really say, by the end of this it really does feel like you're treating your viewers as if they comprehend the story you're telling. Maybe it's just being extra viligant, but it does feels a little off in flow and continuity . I enjoy
Ironcally that 06 colts teams that got blown about by that 06 Jaguars team- the jaguars had just advanced to 8-5 and then proceeded to collapse the last three games including a game lost to the titans (sound familiar). The jaguars lost despite 400 yards of offseason against a titans team that had loess than 100 yards of offense. The titans had 3 defensive touchdowns and no offensive touchdowns. If the jaguars make the playoffs, i firmly believe they steam roll the colts again, but December has never been kind to Duval. The last game was a in and win against the chiefs and the jaguars lost, that same team the colts played the next week.
This makes me worried about what the Texans are going to do if they do host an AFC championship game since it would be their first conference title game ever. Hopefully it won’t be like this.
A matchup where both teams passed up on MJD! As Pats fan I'm not thrilled when they selected Laurence Maroney when MJD and DeAngelo Williams were still there back in 06.
The 2006 Chargers & Ravens were easily top 10 teams of the entire decade in terms of talent, still cant believe they didnt meet up in the AFC title game that year.
I can, after foolishly dumping Trent Dilfer for Elvis Grbac, the Ravens wasted historic defenses until Joe Flacco arrived, looking back, they were fortunate to get a second SB, period.
Houston has also never hosted the conference championship. Hell, Houston has only been in the conference championship twice in 1979 and 80. I was 2 the last time Houston made it to the conference championship. I feel like we will never make it at this point. At least not in my lifetime
how would there not be hotels from 9000 people at a cheer tournament? Indy regularly hosts one of the largest gatherings of humans on earth. the Indy 500 has like 500,000 people attend
In regards to finding out about the Colts hosting the Super Bowl. They said that Tony Dungy promised to take his kids to Chuck E. Cheese if they made it to the AFC championship game. Dungy was actually watching some of the NE-SD game at Chuck E. Cheese.
IMO BAL shoulda been the real champs that season (2006)… had they scored TDs instead of FGs against Indy in the divisional round… that defense was second best in ravens history next to no other than the 00 team
I remember the Jags and Panthers both reaching their conference title games in just their second seasons! I also remember thinking it wouldn't be right for one of them to reach the Super Bowl and not the other. To me back then it was either both go or neither goes.
I'm just glad that the Panthers ended, the, Cowboys', Dynasty, for good, that team was only in the Playoffs because of a terrible Division, and, they only advanced because Dennis Green stunk up the joint, period.
MLB must have been ahead of the NFL, or at least the Colts organization. They start selling tickets at a given level two rounds early. The equivalent would be an NFL team selling Conference title game tickets as soon as they win the Wild Card game.
I'm wondering if the people running the Colts business ops at the time knew how the seeding worked. They had to know that hosting the AFCCG was a possibility. There was no excuse for not having any kind of contingency plan. That one season ticket member had every right to be steamed due to being SOL due to the Colts' organizational incompetence.
Possibility, yes, probability, no, those Chargers hadn't, yet, become the perennial chokers they would be in future seasons, as for having no contingency, when the power went out during SB 47, that was another colossal eyesore.
Notice league's like to help facilitate success for relocating or new franchises . Or new stadiums for existing team. I think the leagues fraudulently get extra success for alot of teams in such situations. And why not ? New fans or newly impassioned existing fans help offset costs. The original ten nfl teams owners have strong ties to gambling.. Ted donahue in nba. it happens. How much is the real question. Part time refs is a good way to alter results
