The only "curse" was WCF, and now he is pushing up the daisies.

Not gonna see a SB appeearance, much less a championship overnight as a result, obviously.
 
Damn you! Now LKP will have another excuse

Concentrated injuries
Wind
Snow
Rain
Refs
Drops

....wait for it...

CURSES!
 
We’ve made a commitment, in a couple of different ways I don’t want to get into, on the way we’ve gone about doing things. We hope that we’ve made some breakthroughs, made some improvements in the way our guys catch the ball moving forward.“I think we’ve cut our lack of catches in half from last (offseason). We’re doing better in training camp. Our guys are doing a better job and I’m doing a better job coaching it, along with our other coaches. Sometimes, it’s a bit fluky, sometimes there’s good reasons you don’t catch passes. We’re trying to work on those good reasons.”


Jim Bob Cooter on drops. Called them a bit fluky

We cut our drops in half because Ebron hasn't been in practice.
 
I remember early in the season people calling out Cooter for his play calling, dinking and dunking. At the end of season we were still dinking and dunking yet Cooter is now a hero.

Also here is a 8 minute recap of the 1957 season starting with game game 4's amazing comback verses the Colts . It has some great color videos then it cuts off at the end and the guy wants you to buy the rest. I have not cnecked out the rest but these 8 minutes are pretty cool.

Hail Mary loss to the 49ers. Shocker.

Forgot Bobby Layne played that much during the regular season. I knew Tobin Rote led them to the title, but didn't realize he shared the QB duties with Layne.

True but it does start with a great comeback verses the Colts I think!!!
