A bit of a subplot

Back in 1999, Broncos Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips was head coach of the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills famously lost a playoff game to the Tennessee Titans that season on what would come to be called "The Music City Miracle".

In the aftermath of that heartbreaking loss, Phillips fired the Bills Special Teams Coach of the time.

The name of that Special Teams Coach?  Bruce DeHaven.

DeHaven and Phillips now face each other as opponents in Super Bowl 50, but word is DeHaven isn't carrying a grudge.  He admits he was pretty angry about what happened, but has since let it go.

Super Bowl coaches Dehaven and Phillips have buried the hatchet

 

 

 

 

(bet it'd still be fun for DeHaven to beat him though; especially if a great special teams play is involved)

So your saying Joe Webb is going to throw the ball across the field to Fozzy on a kick off?

Good stuff. Nice find.

Don't credit me.

As much as I look at coaching backgrounds, I should have known this. But until I saw the story, I had no idea.

Typo that caused serious confusion for me for about 15 seconds, I was about to say "a defensive coordinator can fire a special teams coach? weird".  I think you mean to say "Denver defensive coordinator" heh.

I blame the cold medicine I'm taking (fixed)

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
