OT: Vikings/ Seahawks

[4in16]

Laces out Dan? Feel bad for the Vikes should've had this one.

 

[UChusky916]

Sorry @Fishy

 

[superjohn]

Kicker sharted his pants of live TV, that's about the worst choke I've ever seen.

 

[champs99and04]

Best game I've seen all year. Carolina-Seattle is going to be phenomenal.

 

[Mr. French]

I feel awful for Walsh, and the Vikes... But ya, that's a choke. Bad hold too but I don't think it affected the kick much. He just didn't hook it. I wanted them to win, despite my love for Fred Jackson. I'm sick of Seattle.

Side note: I think Wilson is going from everyone calling him overrated to now being underrated, which may make people overrate him soon. But dude is playing great right now.

 

[Dove]

Adrian Peterson outdone by somebody named...

wait, I have to check...

oh, Christine Michael?


CHRISTINE FREAKIN' MICHAEL!!

Did I really hear Sal Paolantonio tell us how concerned the NFL is about the balls being deflated by the cold weather? This is the twilight zone.

That kicker's a bum. Laces schmaces.

I think ESPN is just trolling New England at this point.

Seems like it.

 

[Wise2]

wait, the weather has something to do with the inflation of the balls....Huh?

 

[Gurleyman]

Feel for the guy. Difficult to practice clutch field goals in -10 weather.

 

[pnow15]

A word of advice for Mr. Walsh. Today is not the day to ask the owner for either a raise or a date with his daughter.

 

[champs99and04]

AP is as much to blame as the kicker. He was terrible.

The same NFL that spent most of the last year arguing that their footballs are immune to the laws of physics? Now they believe that temperature changes from the locker room to the field might impact PSI? That is bizarre stuff.

That's the only reason I wanted the Seahawks to win. Want this game.

Still amazing that the Seahawks got a second gift (after last year's onside kick debacle against the Packers) this year to advance.

Only surprise is it wasn't Mortenson with that report.

If you have been following the NFL instagram/twitter accounts, you'd see they've been doing it repeatedly all year long.

And then gave a gift to the Pats.

Hahaha Reportedly the balls could make it down to 9lb PSI. Doubt the NFL would ever report that though. And if they do, they'll probably fudge it in their direction. NFL doing NFL things.

Eh. Let's not forget the miracle catch that got them there.

The football gods giveth, and then they taketh away.

 

[intlzncster]

Eh, good chance they could have stuffed Marshawn anyway. His conversion rate at the goal line wasn't great at all during the year. He was pounding it most of the game, but the technique/concept is much different down by the goal line. Especially with the Super Bowl on the line.

 

[Conndog]

Looked like he kicked the ball with the middle or fattest part of foot instead of more towards the toe, perhaps he was concentrating on just making contact since it was not a long try. Laces didn't have anything to do with it, he just "pushed" it, wish he kicked it as if it was 50 yards away and just gave it a regular boot.

That is going to be the loneliest locker room of a lifetime for that guy after this one.

His plant foot was maybe an inch from the ball. I think he bad form on that.

I can never understand why teams simply don't run it in the middle of the hash marks before very short kicks.

 

[Revrat]

One thing they didn't seem to mention is that he likes the ball on the right hash. I guess most righties like it on the left to hook it in but he doesn't. I was surprised they didn't get him to that side
