Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bogart" data-source="post: 408012" data-attributes="member: 3900">I will always blame Holmgren for that game, some folks put it on Favre's mistakes, but that was the gunslinger in his prime, and while he was struggling, the Broncos were having a hard time stopping Dorsey Levens rush attacks, and Holmgren refused to start running the ball more, he should have got the idea that while our quarterback was struggling, the run game would have loosened it up. True to the other posts, Elway really didn't do much in that Super Bowl, but Holmgren also should have did something in the second half to try and stop Terrell Davis, he was destroying us.   I was a young boy when they won it in 1996, still in school and all that, but I remember going into the 1997 season I felt like no one was going to beat us. The winless Colts did, and so on down the road, I still felt like we were unstoppable going into the Super Bowl. That Super Bowl remains one of the biggest disappointing football games ever for me, right up there with Alabama blowing the 24-0 point lead last year, and it took Favre's interception in 2007 to top it as the most disappointing thing ever, but probably because even with the aftermath of losing the Super Bowl, I was able to say "Well, at least Elway finally got his ring" where in 2007, I didn't feel like that at all.</blockquote>
