Rick, very good points. I agree, the Rams should of gone for the win, but Bulger did have three interceptions in the game. A team has to play to win.
But I still think it was Carolina's game all the way, and it was they who let the Rams back in it.
Warner "was" a great quarterback, probably the best during his hey-day. But as of the present, I think Bulger is more consistent, and more patient then Warner. Bulger wins games, just not the last one game. He did get them back to the elite of the league. WArner has lost his touch, it might be the thumb, but he is definately not what he use to be.
I whole-heartedly agree with you that Bulger has no fire in his eyes, but from the last three Superbowls, the winning QB was not the best or the one with the most fire in their eyes. We know Farve, McNabb, and Manning all have fire in their eyes but for the last three years, Defense has won the Superbowl. Maybe, Manning and Mcnabb will get a shot to win one this year, but Carolina looks tough, and New England is so good.
Good post though Rick.
