That game was pretty much our last stand as the team of the 90s. A few weeks later, Tim Hauck's head shot ended Irvin's career and we went downhill from there.
Damn we had some bad corners in that game. Charlies Williams makes Jacques Reeves look like Deion Sanders.
It was the last hurrah of the triplets, the last spectacular noteworthy game for them.
Interesting thing about the talent on that team. The depth had vanished by then, but there were still several holdovers from the Super Bowl teams. The triplets of course, but also Woodson, Moose, Hennings, Lett, Kevin Smith, and Erik Williams for example. Plus some who had been with the team for at least one of the championship years, like Sanders and Stepnoski.
But outside of those guys, it was slim pickings talent-wise. Ellis and Adams were good picks, but there were a lot of washouts on the 1999 roster. When the great vets started to fall aside one by one, there was little left.
