Now, I am no Neil O'Donnell fan, lets get that clear, but the INTs were not all his fault. Its easy to blame him, or to say that you don't make the same mistake twice, but the fact is, he didn't really make a mistake. He threw the ball where it was supposed to go, the receiver just wasn't there. He relied on the timing and the communication that he had built up over the season with his receivers, and it bit him in the azz. If he waits the split second to make sure that the receiver ran the right route, its too late. They were unfortunate, but anybody who has ever played QB knows that he wasn't completely at fault.
As for all the Jets rumors, or conspiracy theories, I don't buy them. Maybe his agent had talks with the Jets, maybe he didn't, but I don't think it affected the game. That game was no different than any of the AFC Championship game losses in the 90s. We lost, we shouldn't have lost, but we lost. That's it, so be it.
