Bobby Hebert's gamble in 1990 paid off big for NFL's players

1991, 27-20 Falclowns. No disrespect but I wouldn't call that a blowout. Can't remember exactly but there was a b.s. penalty against the Saints late in the game. They were driving to score to tie it up but Hebert threw a pick from the 30is falclown yard line.

you are correct, sir. but by "blown out", i was speaking more of the defense. I could never understand how a defense that gave up an average of 13 points a game during the season and a total of 18 touchdowns the entire year(!) gets 27 put on them by the Falcons and 36 by the Eagles. They just seemed to abandon everything that got them there and played very tentative. The 61 yard pass that put Atlanta ahead was the final nail in the coffin.

20 years later and I am still fuming. :rant:

The ring makes it a little easier to handle tho'. :mwink:
