NFL's biggest individual choke job

[wackywabbit]

I don't get the Gary Anderson answer at all. That was not even close to a deciding play. They still had the lead after that miss. Way too much is made of that miss.

I have not heard any valid arguement for why Cundiff's chip shot miss was not far worse.

^ Losing the AFCCG in the last 20 seconds when you got to the 10 yard line and OT was considered the worst case scenario 1 minute ago.

Gary Anderson, perfect all year. Needed the FG to go up two scores, and missed it. 

Yea... there's hundreds of forgotten plays where a team could have gone up two scores. I don't get why this one is famous.

You mean Jeremy Hill fumbling the ball when all we needed to do was run out the clock to win the game.

Falcons losing in the SB to the Pats.

Valid, but it's also a guy making a great play

The coach calling the pass was probably more of the choke job on that

Because Anderson had been perfect all year and the Vikings were a 15-1 powerhouse

Of all the kicks to miss, he missed the biggest one. That's why its a choke job

That's all fine. It wasn't as bad as individual chokes that actually lost a team a game. If you miss a field goal and your team is still up by 7, it doesn't belong on this list. The Vikings should have still won that game. Their defense could have stopped the Falcons from scoring a TD when they needed one to tie. The offense could have score a point on either of their two overtime drives and ended on the game. I'm not sure how that loss got pinned on the kicker. All 3 phases choked at the end. The kick miss is overstated.

It's all becomes 1 big choke I think

The team starts to relax, because it's Gary Anderson and this will seal the game. He chokes, then the defense starts to sweat because they have to make a stop, then they choke. The offense starts to feel the pressure, they choke. Falcons capitalize on the momentum and next thing you know it's over

Going with Romo's botched snap. But not just the snap, the run afterwards too. I chuckle just thinking about it.

That Cowboys team was SB worthy, and that sank them. I chalk it into one of those "pivotal moments" categories.

Rahim Moore gets my vote. He played that ball so bad.

If Gramatica gets a better piece of the Seattle player, Romo likely gets into the end zone and is forever branded a hero improviser 

Dallas's defense was trash and I had my doubts the FG was going to hold up anyways.
