Drew Pearson getting away with offensive pass interference on the Hail Mary pass tops my list.

The McClanahan fumble is right up there too. The one and only time any team ever blocked a Ray Guy punt and the Vikings recovered on the Raiders 1 yard line. Finally a golden opportunity to score first in the Superbowl. Why they handed to McClanahan instead of Foreman, I'll never know.

Yep, I knew someone in here would remember the McClanahan debacle.

I've never seen momentum boomerang like that before or since.

So the one thing that didn’t happen is you’re #1.

Maybe the demon that needs exorcising is fans getting over that play.

The Burger King commercial is one of the more underrated psychological disasters of my lifetime. Every time I saw it I had to relive that loss to the Niners. Hated them ever since, and haven't eaten a Whopper since.

Smith running OOBwasn’t that costly. He was moving the chains. If the call is a stretch play to the right and it goes for ~10 yards and the moment takes you OOB you’re not going to contort your body to try and flop in bounds.

All on Anderson.

May have to add the Will Smith "Miami" song to it. Wasn't it released a week or two before we lost the NFC Championship game.

The most inexcusable and costly 12 man penalty in history costing us a trip to the SB.

Gary Anderson.


Robert Smith running out of bounds and going for it inside their own 20 with less than a minute in the first half have to be included with Gary.

He wasn't forced out of bounds....he had room to go down....it was horrible.

Not true. In 1998 the rules were different and the clock didn't start again until the ball was snapped. His running out of bounds afforded the Falcons enough time to go down and tie the game. If he just stays in bounds the Falcons have very little time to eventually score. They scored with 49 seconds remaining. The play clock in 1998 was 40 seconds. 2 x 40 = 80 The Falcons went 71 yards in 2:07. They would have only had 47 seconds to score, which is not impossible in today's game, but much harder.

The Blair Walsh miss has seemingly resulted in 15 years of cursed kicking woes. It never ends. I thought Reichard was going to be great. Now there appears to be a magnet in the ball as every other kick goes off a crossbar or goal post.

Not perfect bc there’s no play clock but here’s the series in question.

Play 1 9 yard run. Fought to stay in bounds. Clock stopped at 559 ball snapped at 543 16 seconds

Play 2 15 yard stretch play OOB clock stopped at 537 ball snapped at 517 20 seconds

Play 3 run up the middle play done at 506
Ball snapped at 438 28 seconds

Play 4 1st down OOB clock stopped at 432

Play 5 run up the middle….next play snapped at 357 33 seconds

TO Atlanta 343

******


So clearly they didn’t have the clock staying stopped when Smith ran OOB the 1st 2 plays. There seems to be about a 10 second difference in time on plays in bounds vs OOB. Outside the 5 min mark. How do you explain that? The clock was 100% running on plays 2 and 3.

Bottom line. We were rolling that series. Smith carried the load. Don’t let 20 some odd seconds skew your view.

He was a rookie phenom. Now we’re in hold your breath a bit territory. I think after an OS to get healthy we’lll see we do have our guy.

Not a good component to be hinky right now.

I bet they have the tech available to really look at the Hail Mary that haunts fans to this day.

Rotate the angle. Use AI or whatever to fill where Pearson’s hands were the whole time.

I can see it with the naked eye. DP’s hands are not in a position to push off.

I've read countless posts on "why 98 happened".


Gary
Robert
Griffith
ect
ect

Players make mistakes in the middle of the battle. Very little time to think, just react. Contrast that to the man in charge giving up on his team and saying "I don't trust you so we're taking this to OT". Even the players have said that the entire mind set shifted when that happened. They were in disbelief.

<40 yards indoors to go to the SB when you haven’t missed all year is worse than choosing OT with 30 seconds left on our own 27.

A lot of gut shots over the years of course we’re all going to have absorbed them in our own way.

Terrible decision but Oakland was the way better team. Purple people eaters were aging and got pushed around big time. Offense also got man handled.

If Oline can hold up on Sunday night, we can score 40. And we will probably need at least that many points.

Wish I could see our success rate running a hurry up offense. I know it tripped up GB. I’d like to see more against Detroit.

I see kickers misses as a reflection that your head coach isn't confident, he is nervous. With great head coaches, you don't seem to get a lot of misses from kickers at crunch time.

Harrison Smith commented in an interview last week, something a player isn't supposed to say. You're supposed to say you're taking the next game, just like all the other games. He said it's different when early in the season you weren't expected to win, and are rattling off wins, compared to the game against the Puke and Tom Brady is in town.

I think KOC may have been a little nervous, so you had some early game drops, a miss from the kicker, mental mistakes. But things mostly settled down, and many different players made great plays.

I was questioning if KOC was the right head coach last year, but I no longer question it.

I was starting to anyway, but my girlfriend has also encouraged me to focus on the things the Vikings are doing RIGHT during a game, instead of the things they are doing wrong, or things that can go wrong.

I now expect things to go right, and am curious what things will go right next during the game, what will work, and how will the other team screw things up, which will end up in a Viking's victory. I wonder what adversity will the Vikings overcome, what will motivate them, or what corrections will they make, both on offense and defense.

I now expect the Vikings to win every game, and believe they have a real shot at winning the Super Bowl this year, even if it's against the Chiefs.
