Legion of boom was a short tenure, 2012-2014
They didn’t try to hide blatant PED usage. Look at Kam Chancellor today and how his career ended.
The team has never recovered from the Malcolm Butler interception in the Super Bowl. People forget the great circus catch by Kearse.
Legion of boom? Yamean the legion of pumped in noise 😉 I'm only messing, they were dominant for that short stint.

That is a loud stadium because of the way it was built

Yeah, it was designed to bounce the noise back. But they did get caught pumping noise in at one point. But then so did the saints... And the pats... And about half the league lol.
reply
Yes definitely short lived. Still love the name.
I still can't believe they didn't run the ball. I don't care what Annie Duke or the analytics people say, it was a stupid call when you have Marshawn Lynch as your back.
I remember watching that Super Bowl with a buddy of mine who is a Patriots fan. He went from "It's over" to running around the room saying "they didn't run the ball" in a matter of seconds.

Collinsworth was apoplectic.
It was second or third down and they had one time out.
The patriots defense was the worst in short yardage that season.
Beast mode almost got into the end zone the play before the interception.
What Annie Duke doesn’t mention or realize is that interception rate increases as you get closer to the end zone

I also think there are moments/situations that are so important and specific that the aggregate probabilities don’t apply.
Analytics would say you should never bunt in baseball but if it’s the bottom of the 9th man on second, no one out and a tie game and you have Martin Maldonado at the plate, you should probably bunt the guy over because it is more likely to work than for that hitter to get a hit.
