Oh! Joey Harrington lighting up his old team. Gotta love that one! Yeah, I blame Saban for that collapse after that. Benching Joey for Cleo Freaking Lemon, but thats another story

For me its a toss-up between the Chambers thrashing of the Cowboys and the Leon Lett game.  I'm leaning towards 2003.

That's not actually how it happened:

They were 5-6 and had a five game winning streak.

They scored a quick TD against Jacksonville and looked ready to get another early in the game.

Then, Harrington threw a costly end zone interception and the Jags won.

The Dolphins beat the Pats next week, putting them at 6-7.  They could have had a shot if they won their remaining three games.

Harrington and the offense went to pieces next week against Buffalo, 21-0.

Lemon didn't replace Harrington until halftime of the Christmas game against the Jets.

So, Lemon was not put in until after they were eliminated.

Lett it be game. I have to imagine that one was the most painful for the Cowgirls and caused the most salty secretions and anxiety for their fans.

Yeah, I thought they were still in contention during the Jets game. I was FURIOUS with Saban when he benched Joey. I wanted him gone at that point.

The Dolphins had already been eliminated the previous week against Buffalo.  Harrington had not led the team to a point in six straight quarters.  Saban was right to replace him at that point.  Lemon actually played pretty well for the rest of the Jets game.

Nope. Joey going into halftime was poised to lead a comeback. Cleo tanked that game.

1993 we won a game that we weren't supposed to win. I was in the middle of Cowboy central watching the game. It was certainly my favorite Thanksgiving win!!

I guess we didn't see the same game:

1) Joey couldn't have led a comeback going into halftime because the score was 0-0 at the half.

2) Lemon led two scoring drives in the second half.

I'm surprised you said he tanked it.

Ok, maybe Harrington had momentum going into halftime. All I remember is that Saban did not announce the QB change during halftime. Harrington started back onto the field and Saban said not so fast. Even Harrington was saying WTF!!

Then we lost, and I was ready to hand Saban his 'walking papers'

Still, 6-1 on Thanksgiving. 7-1 here we come!

Not to be "that guy"  but it would be 5 - 1 on Thanksgiving.  6 - 1 here we come!
