Was that the "Handshake" game?
I'm pretty sure that was from a game during a 3 game win-streak near the end of 2006 when Nolan was the HC.
I had so much hope during that stretch. 2006 was one of the high points during the dark years.
Wooooow. Haven't heard/seen Shawntee Spencer's name in a long tone.
06 was a fools gold year(no pun intended).
Alex looked way better than his rookie year and the offense was gelling in Norv Turners offense.
Then 2007 happened....Jim Effing Hostler.....
Then Alex's shoulder injury.
That year was so bad we were even hoping Shaun Hill would be a viable qb option
I always wondered what the next year would be like if Norv Turner didn't jump ship at the last moment.
I have always wondered the same. I think Alex's development would've benefited BIG time (seriously f**k Jim hostler and I can't believe he won a ring over us in 2012). But I believe Nolan's incompetence would've still shined through and led to his firing by the end of 2008.
In hindsight, the real mistake was giving Singletary the interim to full time promotion so quickly in an offseason where Mike Shanahan, Mike Holmgren, and Jon Gruden all became available. Hasty move really cost us.
