As much as I despise that kicker, I also will never forgive Marty/Hackett for putting the ball in the hands of Bono on an arctic day instead of feeding Marcus Allen more, especially when the Colts were without their run-stopper Tony Siragusa. Give Allen more carries (and Bono fewer INTs), and maybe we don't need to line up for FGs to win that game, especially since EVERYBODY already knew going into the game that the kicker was struggling.
And yeah, that loss is my second all-time worst sports memory, behind the Royals' 1977 ALCS Game 5 choke.
