Paul Allen's guttural "NO!" in that Cardinals walkoff will always be iconic. His call of the Minneapolis miracle is just as such. He's such a good announcer.
I actually clicked on this video because I remember that. That was the infamous year that the Vikings started out 6-2 and then finished 9-7 and then got demoralized on the final play of the last game of the season with the Cardinals coming back. “The Cardinals have knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs” is one of the greats lines by a sportscaster in tv history
Ugh! I'm not even a Saints fan and STILL that Carney missed extra point is such a gut punch. After that INCREDIBLE "Cal-Stanford-esque" play for a 75 yard TD to try and send it to OT. This was before they moved extra points back to the 15 yard line like they are now. Carney must still have nightmares about that one.
Yes and no. IIRC even if Carney made the XP and the Saints won in the ensuing OT they were still screwed because Dallas and Seattle won their final games and clinched.
1993 may have been the craziest Week 18/Final Sunday of all time. Giants-Cowboys for The NFC East & HFA, Green Bay-Detroit for The NFC Central & host for WC weekend. 4 teams alive for 2 spots in the AFC. Miami getting eliminated in OT in New England after being 9-2. The Broncos & Raiders in a OT shootout where Raiders clinch a spot & last but not least Jets-Oilers where Buddy Ryan punches Kevin Gilbride in a 24-0 shut out that enables The Steelers to sneak in to the playoffs
That Arizona-Minnesota finish changed NFL history. If The Vikings win Arizona gets The No. 1 pick not San Diego & Eli Manning goes to The Cardinals perhaps.
Flacco while not having his best years was both unbelievable in the second half’s of 2016 and 2017 and had to utter defensive collapses in those years. Without those defensive collapses the ravens probably would have never drafted Jackson.
@@JSalonsky Won a playoff game every yr, but 2011 was the only time where the Ravens didn't get a road playoff win. However, they did get their first home playoff win since 2000.
Yea that's crazy. It really looked like raiders would just run out the clock. Imagine Steelers missing playoffs after the tie. Or chargers/raiders would've got in with the tie. And then raiders decided to go for win and chargers got out. Really nuts
The 2003 Saints missed XP was brutal. But that week they needed someone else to lose and by the time this play happened, the other team had won and the Saints were eliminated regardless. It’s the only thing I can console myself with when I see this play.
Great topic for a video. A few that could of been included that come to mind: 1977 - Colts over Patriots. NE blows a 18 pt 2nd half lead. 1979 - Cowboys over Redskins. The Roger Staubach double comeback. 1981 - Buccaneers over Lions. A late defensive TD costs the Lions the division in a winner take all finale. 1983 - Bears over Packers. A last minute FG sends GB home and gets Bart Starr fired. 1988 - Seahawks over Raiders. In a winner take all for the division title, Seattle holds on in a shoot out. 2011, '12, '13 Cowboys - Three straight Dallas losses to each of their NFC East rivals. Btw, I appreciate you including the year with the clip. Sometimes you don't know the game and your curious to look up more into it.
In that '79 Cowboys/Skins game the Skins went from the #1 seed in the NFC to missing out on the playoffs altogether because of Tony Hill's late touchdown.
That 2011-13 period was rough for Dallas fans I still remember watching each Sunday night game disappointed by the result that 2012 matchup with a hobbled RG3 still hurts to this day
New England in that 1977 winner-takes-all i.e. the AFC East vs. Colts kind of got screwed earlier in the game, IIRC, a Baltimore Colts player fumbled the ball before going down, video replays clearly showed he did when Colts were driving to close Pats lead in the game. Well, the refs didnt see the fumble, Baltimore kept possession and scored a TD and eventually used the momentum to get back into the game and win a wild, close one. Strangely enough, 1977 would end up being the last really great year for the old Colts in Baltimore as they would lose a week later in another legendary NFL post-season classic vs. Oakland, in 2OT, "Ghost to the Post" catch. Those mid-late 70's-mid-80's Patriots teams had some really good, potent and possibly SB-winning talent on their roster and despite only one losing season (1981), from 1976-1988, New England ended up having a lot of winning seasons, but relatively few postseason berths. Then there's Week 17 2020 matchup between playoff-bound Buffalo and 10-5 Miami where Dolphins' got their asses kicked in Buffalo and finished with a 10-6 record but out of the playoffs. 1973 Atlanta Falcons having a 8-3 record with 3 weeks remaining in the regular-season, having pulled off a major upset against would-be undefeated Vikings on MNF, and then Norm Van Brocklin's Falcons lost 2 out of their last 3 games to finish second in the old NFC West, 9-5, but out of the playoffs. Ironically, that year's finish was the best record in Falcons history up until that point (and would remain that way until 1980). 1991 Eagles ended up at 10-6, but their last real chance at making the post-season that year was lost when they lost a Week 15 home game vs. Cowboys. Philadelphia did regroup, to their credit, and handily defeated New York Giants in the final week, but due to complex tiebreaker scenarios with Atlanta, the Eagles watched the playoffs from their homes in 1991.
Right? Talk about a wing and a prayer. The Bills did their part when they won in Miami. I thought, we came a long way to finish 9-7 and I was looking forward to 2018 and beyond. Then I literally shit my pants when I found out later that the Bengals upset the Ravens to put the Bills in the playoffs (first time since '99). All of Western New York was in a happy riot. Especially in Buffalo.
I actually seen the Saints-Jaguars game while living in New Orleans, and you would not believe the cheers on the touchdown play...... And then the course of boos when Carney missed the extra point. That loss was brutal.
Remember seeing that last one in person. I’m not a Steelers fan but I was at the exact goal line I’ve never heard a stadium be so loud one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard
Lions were eliminated right before the game when Seahawks kicked a GW FG in OT Packers, thought they had it in the bag. Instead the Lions reached up out of their freshly covered grave and dragged them to the Hell that is *ELIMINATION*
I think Favre's last pass as a Viking was a pick, too. In the playoffs against the Saints I think. I would just assume Favre's last pass as a Jet was a pick. You'd think that would be as low as you can go, but Brett went back to Mississippi after hitting rock bottom and started digging.
Just prior to the Moseley FG against the Cardinals in 1984, Washington was at 3rd and 18 and Art Monk made a 19 yard catch to get the first down. This is the same game in which he broke the single season catches record (at the time) with 106. He came up big with 11 catches for 136 yards and 2 TDs.
Had no idea that the Cardinals had two near playoff-berths in the 80s. That game vs Washington looked wild! This is why I love this channel. Always seeing new NFL clips I had no clue about.

Cardinals made the playoffs in 1982 The season where a strike interrupted everything resulting in a 9-game season & a 16-team playoff format The Cardinals - then in St Louis - played up in Green Bay. They got stomped The next time the Cardinals would make the playoffs would be in 1998, 11 years after moving to Phoenix They would upset the Cowboys in the Wild Card Round. It was the Cardinals first playoff win in 51 years The Cardinals hadn’t won at Green Bay since 1949 when they were in Chicago. That streak was broken in 2018. Mike McCarthy was fired after that game
In my opinion, 4th and 8 is the most traumatic play as a bears fan. As a young 4th grader back then, I wanted to beat Green Bay so bad and go to the playoffs. It is worse than double doink in my opinion because of the opponent.
Well it also took the Bears 5 years to recover from that loss as they had an 8 year playoff drought and then they never really recovered after the double drink either outside of the 2020 season where they got lucky to make the playoffs that year due to Arizona collapsing
Isn't losing to GB in the NFC Championship on your home turf worse? I mean to see your bitter rivals lift the George Halas trophy as the 6th seeded team and then go on to win the Super Bowl seems worse to me.
@@simplemanchannel3318I was a young kindergartener/1st grader then. Honestly, i didn’t feel as bad with that loss, and felt Green Bay deserved to beat Pittsburgh. Though I would say, that nfc championship was the first time I watched a football game intently, and payed attention to things like yards to 1st down and punting, which both sides did that game.
When you talk about a play that eliminates a team from the playoffs you think 2003 Vikings at Cardinals hearing it from Paul Allen saying Nooooo Nooooo it's one of the best if not one of the greatest heartbreak devastating travesty of calls in not only in the history of the Vikings but in NFL's History too 0:03
8:12-8:18……49ers/Broncos (2006)……Darrent Williams Final NFL Game with Denver…..RIP Darrent Williams…..9:39-9:48……Raiders/Chiefs (1999)…..Derrick Thomas Final NFL game with Chiefs…..RIP Derrick Thomas And Gunther Cunningham….
That 95 Oakland team was solid, Hostetler being injured definitely slowed us down! Side note Anthony Smith was clearly up to no good during that season💯 If you go look up Dallas @ Oakland that season John Madden mentions Anthony Smith being mia that week and had just showed up minutes before the game. Makes you wonder 🤔 either way RIP to his victims 🙏🏽
The force-out rule was always horrible. I screamed for years how it only punished the defense for doing their job, and it required the refs to make an impossible subjective judgment. Thankfully they changed the rule years ago.
That missed PAT by Carney is a heartbreaker and I'm sure I'm the 100th person to say this, but Carney is a terrific person with a huge stat-sheet. It sucks that this is the sort of thing he will be remembered for.
@@trentvlak Controversial statement incoming, but IMHO the thing that makes that call so iconic is the timing between the muted, almost thrown-away "...an'he missed it" with the other announcer shouting "NOOOOOOO" over the top of the end. Something about that combination just crackles with an energy that can't be planned in advance.
Same with Norwood. Pro bowl player. He even was the reason the Bills went to the secomd Super Bowl, saving one of the greatest runs in football. Just remembered for a miss that he never made previously on grass and league wide was only a 50/50 chance.
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle The other thing that's a shame about the Norwood moment is that the game itself was such a classic, and that's all anyone remembers about the game. Jesus, that Whitney Houston rendition of the Star Spangled Banner just might be the best rendition ever.
The only reason I can think of as t why he didn’t cover his high zone is because it was an inverted high cover 2 where the corner on Cobb takes the deep 2. Still the worst play I’ve ever witnessed as a Bears fan along with the Grossman pick 6 in the Super Bowl and the Double Doink
The fact that Brandon Marshall was on the losing end of three of the games shown in this video (Jets vs Bills 2015, Bears vs Packers 2013, and 49ers vs Broncos 2006), and then ended up never playing in the playoffs during his entire career 😭😭
That 03 Cardinals play has some extra context if you consider that a loss gives them the 2 pick, where bust Rob Gallery went, instead of their greatest player Larry Fitzgerald who went at 3. Not saying they'd have picked differnt but not saying they wouldn't.
1984: The Bengals beat the Bills earlier in the day to finish 8-8 (they had an 8-3 finish after an 0-5 start). If the Steelers lose that afternoon to the Raiders, they win the division. However, Donnie Shell seals the game with an INT, and the Steelers win the Central and end up going all the way to the AFC Title Game (losing to Miami). 1986: Albert Lewis's INT against Pittsburgh's Mark Malone seals a playoff berth for the Chiefs, and it all but eliminates the Bengals (they were eliminated the next night by the Pats when they beat Miami to wrap up the AFC East). 1987: That Dallas win may have saved their future. If the Cardinals won, they eliminate the Vikings (and end up losing to NO in the WC game, in my opinion). Now, fast forward to 1989. Without that playoff run, do the Vikes feel squirly enough to trade the farm for Walker? Maybe not.
As a die-hard Cincinnati Bengals who's going through pain and suffering right now as always, that first clip kinds brightens my mood a little bit but mot much at all but then to have the clip on Santonio Holmes scoring the touchdown later in the video to eliminate my Cincinnati Bengals out of the playoffs just makes me feel even more miserable
Eliminated a foe and allowed another team that tends to be a laughing stock(trust me, we both feel the same pain lol) to get in. Not every day two teams that usually are the punching bag can be the biggest storylines on the week.
Good thing AB was left-handed. If he was carrying the ball with his right hand. He doesn't get it over the goal line. Blatant facemask on the ball carrier in the middle of the field, no call. Lol
Good, no other team I'd rather have it happen to. Saints are the worst organization out there and needed to be punished more for everything they did with bounty gate.
I don't know. Ravens kicker Matt Stover has only missed 1 PAT in his whole career. But that miss cost the Ravens a tie (at that point) and the game. Instead of playing for OT, the Ravens had to recover an onside kick... which they failed to do. That was way more painful.
Damn I didn't realize New Orleans Saints had two near playoff-berths in back to back seasons 2002 game losing INT against Carolina Panthers and the river city relay in 2003 on a missed extra point against Jacksonville Jaguars
Santonio Holmes was criminally underrated. I went to Jon Carney's kicking camp as a kid. Charity thing in the early 90s. He was cool as hell, for a kicker, who also looked like an accountant.
I actually clicked on this video because I remember the Vikings-Cardinals game. That was the infamous year that the Vikings started out 6-2 and then finished 8-8 and then got demoralized on the final play of the last game of the season with the Cardinals coming back. “The Cardinals have knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs” is one of the greats lines by a sportscaster in tv history
At 6:44, as the Jets are setting up their winning field goal, it appears someone throws a baseball onto the field to try to prevent the field goal. It has no effect on the game, but that is similar to the 1985 49ers-Broncos game.
i never could take the Saints seriously ever again after that 2003 loss. I watched that game and that lateral play was impressive. but oh man watching that wide kick was painful as anything
I remember riding home from my grandparents house listening to that Paul Allen call in 2003, literally shattered my heart. My dad pulled to the side of the road and we sat in silence and disbelief for a couple of minutes.
@@JL-sm6cg I remember that. The 1998 NFC championship game. 14-2 Falcons versus 15-1 Vikings. Gary Anderson misses the field goal that could have sent the Vikings to the Super Bowl. He had hit some 35 straight and hadn’t missed any all season. It’s too bad too because Randall Cunningham was having a Renaissance season and he deserved a shot at a Super Bowl ring.
On that missed XP, the Saints needed help even if they had won that game, and the help did not materialize. It's a dramatic play that ends in heartbreaking fashion, but the Saints would have been eliminated anyway even if they had won that game.
@@bmasters1981 this was a week 16 game, outcomes from games played week 17 would've eliminated the Saints anyway. Something the fans at the stadium couldn't know for another week
I remember baltimore vs Cincinnati very well I was at my grandparents house and only 2 years earlier lost my mom so I was still recovering but I told my grandpa I hope Cincinnati wins so buffalo gets in and it was a very memorable experience and game for me
It’s never easy to win in the league but if you can’t win a first seed/first round bye, do enough to clinch a playoff berth so you don’t find yourself in this predicament.
9:55-i remember this one well. The Raiders were just eliminated from playoff contention entering the game. Raiders players loudly said, "we're missing the playoffs, so we're taking the Chiefs home with us". This was also the final game for the great KC linebacker Derrick Thomas, who was involved in a tragic car accident on the weekend of Super Bowl XXXIV and died weeks later.
Paul Allen's caul just cemented Vikings' unfortunate season: 0:41 - “Here it is, the season’s on the line, two receivers left and right. McCown takes the snap, he steps up, he’s all by himself. Fires it into the end zone … touch … touchdown! Noo!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! The Cardinals have knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs!!! … There are Minnesota Vikings crying on the field.”
NFL Throwback really triggered my PTSD as a Ravens fan with Tyler Boyd and Antonio Brown. Christmas and New Year's Eve completely RUINED by division rivals in back to back years
As a Green Bay fan that call in the Vikings game was magical 😂 dude i was like 13-14 when that happened and i could not belive what i just watched. The 2003 season will always be one of my favorite of all time.
As a Broncos fan, that loss to San Fran still stings because of Darrent Williams murder that night. We had benched Plummer for Cutler and I always wonder how the team would have fairer if Cutler was the day one starter. We went from 7-2…. TO 9 AND FREAKING 7!!!!!!!! Our defense went from top 3 to 14th!!! Champ Bailey had arguably the best season for CB ever and was locking everyone up!! Was ROBBED of DPOY by Jason Taylor, who had nowhere near the impact Champ had. If Cutler was the day one starter, this team probably goes 10-6 or 11-5 because Plummer was atrocious but the run game was top 7 and ripped of 135 yards a game. I love Mike Shanahan and I think Kyle should’ve been the Broncos coach in 2017. (hiring VANCE F’ING JOSEPH over Kyle was the biggest mistake in franchise history. Thank god we got Sean) with that being said, in 2 of his last 3 years, Mikes team CHOKED. In 06 we went from 7-2 to 9-7, in 07 went from 2-0 to 7-9… lastly to 2008 season…… this team was 3-0 and ultimately 8-5 with a three game lead on the 5-8 Chargers. We chocked every game and ultimately lost and a lot of it was due to Mike and the fact we had probably the worst defense in franchise history and one of the NFL’s all time worst defenses ever. It was a nightmare era for us Broncos fans.
2008 had quite a few regular season chokes Mentioned DEN, that L at SD was Mike Shanahan’s final game as Broncos coach. In Jan 1998, Jack Murphy Stadium was the site of his greatest accomplishment. Fast forward to Dec 2008, he gets the pink slip DAL (my team): 8-4 w/4 weeks left L at PIT, W vs NYG, final game at Texas Stadium is L vs BAL, & coup de grace a 44-6 beat down at PHI. Eagles go in as NFC-6 at 9-6-1 (tie was at CIN), Cowboys are out WSH: 6-2 at halfway mark, Jim Zorn is a genius! Lose 6/8. In Week 16, they completed the season sweep of PHI, but ATL beat MN thus *ELIMINATION* NYJ: 8-3, ended TN’s bid for perfection and robbed us of 11-0 vs 0-11 on Thanksgiving Brett Favre is hurt & stubbornly keeps playing. Man-genius is a Man-idiot. Season ends w/L at home vs MIA quarterbacked by Chad Pennington

Cardinals made the playoffs in 1982
The season where a strike interrupted everything resulting in a 9-game season & a 16-team playoff format
The Cardinals - then in St Louis - played up in Green Bay. They got stomped
The next time the Cardinals would make the playoffs would be in 1998, 11 years after moving to Phoenix
They would upset the Cowboys in the Wild Card Round. It was the Cardinals first playoff win in 51 years
The Cardinals hadn’t won at Green Bay since 1949 when they were in Chicago. That streak was broken in 2018. Mike McCarthy was fired after that game
@@cardboardbelt
Did you hear that 84 crowd?!!! That’s what missing in today’s game
There was nothing better than Madden and Summerall at RFK Stadium in the 80's
they loved redskins/cowboys games back then. They were a great announcing tandem
Watching that Chargers vs. Raiders game at the end of the 2021 season was so surreal!
In my opinion, 4th and 8 is the most traumatic play as a bears fan. As a young 4th grader back then, I wanted to beat Green Bay so bad and go to the playoffs.
It is worse than double doink in my opinion because of the opponent.
Well it also took the Bears 5 years to recover from that loss as they had an 8 year playoff drought and then they never really recovered after the double drink either outside of the 2020 season where they got lucky to make the playoffs that year due to Arizona collapsing
Isn't losing to GB in the NFC Championship on your home turf worse? I mean to see your bitter rivals lift the George Halas trophy as the 6th seeded team and then go on to win the Super Bowl seems worse to me.
@@simplemanchannel3318I was a young kindergartener/1st grader then.
Honestly, i didn’t feel as bad with that loss, and felt Green Bay deserved to beat Pittsburgh.
Though I would say, that nfc championship was the first time I watched a football game intently, and payed attention to things like yards to 1st down and punting, which both sides did that game.
@@simplemanchannel3318That was a day I wish I could forget.
That game yesterday was awesome!!
Thank you for showing that bengals game first. We buffalo folk will never forget that play to send us to the playoffs!
When you talk about a play that eliminates a team from the playoffs you think 2003 Vikings at Cardinals hearing it from Paul Allen saying Nooooo Nooooo it's one of the best if not one of the greatest heartbreak devastating travesty of calls in not only in the history of the Vikings but in NFL's History too 0:03
8:12-8:18……49ers/Broncos (2006)……Darrent Williams Final NFL Game with Denver…..RIP Darrent Williams…..9:39-9:48……Raiders/Chiefs (1999)…..Derrick Thomas Final NFL game with Chiefs…..RIP Derrick Thomas And Gunther Cunningham….
That 95 Oakland team was solid, Hostetler being injured definitely slowed us down! Side note Anthony Smith was clearly up to no good during that season💯 If you go look up Dallas @ Oakland that season John Madden mentions Anthony Smith being mia that week and had just showed up minutes before the game. Makes you wonder 🤔 either way RIP to his victims 🙏🏽
First time learning about the force out rule because of that Cardinals touchdown, cant imagine if that was still a rule today
No, it isn’t. I think it was changed in 2008.
The force-out rule was always horrible. I screamed for years how it only punished the defense for doing their job, and it required the refs to make an impossible subjective judgment. Thankfully they changed the rule years ago.
@@cdprince768 I think it was changed the year after.
That missed PAT by Carney is a heartbreaker and I'm sure I'm the 100th person to say this, but Carney is a terrific person with a huge stat-sheet. It sucks that this is the sort of thing he will be remembered for.
NOOOOOOOOOOOoo hahaha
@@trentvlak Controversial statement incoming, but IMHO the thing that makes that call so iconic is the timing between the muted, almost thrown-away "...an'he missed it" with the other announcer shouting "NOOOOOOO" over the top of the end. Something about that combination just crackles with an energy that can't be planned in advance.
Same with Norwood. Pro bowl player. He even was the reason the Bills went to the secomd Super Bowl, saving one of the greatest runs in football.
Just remembered for a miss that he never made previously on grass and league wide was only a 50/50 chance.
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle The other thing that's a shame about the Norwood moment is that the game itself was such a classic, and that's all anyone remembers about the game. Jesus, that Whitney Houston rendition of the Star Spangled Banner just might be the best rendition ever.
Down to this day, I still can’t believe Chris Conte didn’t cover the middle of the field 🤦🏿♂️
The only reason I can think of as t why he didn’t cover his high zone is because it was an inverted high cover 2 where the corner on Cobb takes the deep 2. Still the worst play I’ve ever witnessed as a Bears fan along with the Grossman pick 6 in the Super Bowl and the Double Doink
That Made No Sense .
Haunts me still
He sold
Then he got trucked by Vance McDonald on MNF!!
That 2003 game between New Orleans and Jacksonville, other results that weekend meant Carney's missed extra point didn't matter in the end
That's a relief because otherwise it would have been beyond brutal.
The fact that Brandon Marshall was on the losing end of three of the games shown in this video (Jets vs Bills 2015, Bears vs Packers 2013, and 49ers vs Broncos 2006), and then ended up never playing in the playoffs during his entire career 😭😭
As an Packers Fan The 4th and 8 Dragger Game is an instant Classic
I went 16-0 in my football picks that week due to that insane finish
Agreed. Especially when it gets Joe Buck excited.
That 03 Cardinals play has some extra context if you consider that a loss gives them the 2 pick, where bust Rob Gallery went, instead of their greatest player Larry Fitzgerald who went at 3.
Not saying they'd have picked differnt but not saying they wouldn't.
No, a loss would have given them the #1 pick.
The Paul Allen call from 2003 is still used on KFAN (his station) button bars all these years later. Epic!
1984: The Bengals beat the Bills earlier in the day to finish 8-8 (they had an 8-3 finish after an 0-5 start). If the Steelers lose that afternoon to the Raiders, they win the division. However, Donnie Shell seals the game with an INT, and the Steelers win the Central and end up going all the way to the AFC Title Game (losing to Miami).
1986: Albert Lewis's INT against Pittsburgh's Mark Malone seals a playoff berth for the Chiefs, and it all but eliminates the Bengals (they were eliminated the next night by the Pats when they beat Miami to wrap up the AFC East).
1987: That Dallas win may have saved their future. If the Cardinals won, they eliminate the Vikings (and end up losing to NO in the WC game, in my opinion). Now, fast forward to 1989. Without that playoff run, do the Vikes feel squirly enough to trade the farm for Walker? Maybe not.
I'll forever remember that Tyler Boyd touchdown that ended my bills playoff drought.
As a die-hard Cincinnati Bengals who's going through pain and suffering right now as always, that first clip kinds brightens my mood a little bit but mot much at all but then to have the clip on Santonio Holmes scoring the touchdown later in the video to eliminate my Cincinnati Bengals out of the playoffs just makes me feel even more miserable
Eliminated a foe and allowed another team that tends to be a laughing stock(trust me, we both feel the same pain lol) to get in. Not every day two teams that usually are the punching bag can be the biggest storylines on the week.
We swept y'all this year and will be going to the playoffs. Nice to have a defense that doesn't give up GW TDs with 50 seconds left.
I feel your pain man
You are a die-hard bengal tiger from Cincinnati?
@@ninetailedfox579121 I been a Cincinnati Bengals fan since I was born in 2004
Saved the best for last. I remember watching the Immaculate extension live AB looked to be short at first but he's AB 💯
Good thing AB was left-handed. If he was carrying the ball with his right hand. He doesn't get it over the goal line. Blatant facemask on the ball carrier in the middle of the field, no call. Lol
2003
AZ: We can win the Tank Bowl or add another chapter to the Vikings’ tortured history
The cardinals eliminating the vikings was insane lol prolly the worst one
TOUCHDOWN!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
@@kojiattwood THE VIKINGS ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!
@@mjwatts1983Vikings hear that a lot. Even when they make the playoffs.
The missed kick by Carney in 2003 has to be one of the most painful missed PATs in the history of football, if not THE most
Good, no other team I'd rather have it happen to. Saints are the worst organization out there and needed to be punished more for everything they did with bounty gate.
@@Gyrodude7 womp womp you sound soft asf. Stay mad ⚜️ WHODAT!!!
I don't know. Ravens kicker Matt Stover has only missed 1 PAT in his whole career. But that miss cost the Ravens a tie (at that point) and the game. Instead of playing for OT, the Ravens had to recover an onside kick... which they failed to do. That was way more painful.
Random fact: DJ chark has been on a big cat based team his whole career besides the Bengals
Maybe that's where he'll go next lol
Cincinnati is on deck for him
And his name is chark... Do do do do do do
@@kendallgustafson2256 Dead meme.
-immediately adds the Colts 4th down dropped pass to video
Damn I didn't realize New Orleans Saints had two near playoff-berths in back to back seasons 2002 game losing INT against Carolina Panthers and the river city relay in 2003 on a missed extra point against Jacksonville Jaguars
Thanks for including that Joe Berry defensive master class against the Lions.
Santonio Holmes was criminally underrated.
I went to Jon Carney's kicking camp as a kid. Charity thing in the early 90s. He was cool as hell, for a kicker, who also looked like an accountant.
8:47 The Lions would promptly hire Matt Millen as GM after this kick.
_The rest would be history._
And look how far the Lions have come since then!
You're telling me.
@@mach6893 yes. Took forever.
Add Tyler Goodson's drop vs the Texans in 2024
I actually clicked on this video because I remember the Vikings-Cardinals game. That was the infamous year that the Vikings started out 6-2 and then finished 8-8 and then got demoralized on the final play of the last game of the season with the Cardinals coming back.
“The Cardinals have knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs” is one of the greats lines by a sportscaster in tv history
I was there for the Bears-Packers game. That was the pinnacle of the awful defense Chicago had that year.
Happy New Year To You TCodes
Awful? It wasn’t that bad
20 years later.and I still can't believe Carney missed the extra point
Shoutout Tyler Goodson - a Texans fan
At 6:44, as the Jets are setting up their winning field goal, it appears someone throws a baseball onto the field to try to prevent the field goal. It has no effect on the game, but that is similar to the 1985 49ers-Broncos game.
"Forced-out touchdown" thank god that's not a rule anymore
the vikings would’ve made the playoffs in 2003 if that rule was there back then 😭
Chargers calling timeout to get eliminated. Boneheaded call by Staley
LMAO
i never could take the Saints seriously ever again after that 2003 loss. I watched that game and that lateral play was impressive. but oh man watching that wide kick was painful as anything
I remember riding home from my grandparents house listening to that Paul Allen call in 2003, literally shattered my heart. My dad pulled to the side of the road and we sat in silence and disbelief for a couple of minutes.
11:40 Ppl talk about the Vikings scream, but no one talks about how that giant “NOOOO” is the roar of an angry Saints fan
I'm a Colts fan on January 6, 2024 and this literally just got recommended to me as soon as I open the app
12:08 AB was just different breed
12:15 "And the Ravens have been eliminated from playoff consideration. Merry Christmas :)"
Who would've thought that Minnesota started 6-0 in 2003 year but yet you get knocked out of the playoffs...OUCH 1:30
And 5 of their 7 losses were to sub-500 teams.
as a Vikings fan, we are not surprised with anything.
Rodgers to Cobb will never get old
Here after the Colts ruined their chances against the Texans
Gonna have to reupload this one with the colts play lmao
That Bengals play knocked out Baltimore & sent Buffalo to the postseason.
And bc of that play ravens were able to get Lamar Jackson.
@@Lightskin_jhit Short term pain leads to long term gain.
@@cbod14I mean… I respect bmore’s franchise, but to date what exactly have they gained? lol
@@joesmith5247 Consistently being in contention.
@@joesmith5247 have you not been watching the ravens since 2018??
I was at the 2017 Bengals @ Ravens game. Still the coldest I’ve ever been in my life. Almost caught frost bite
Titans got their revenge against the Jags today :D
Haven't seen a game in years. Highlight reels are nice though.
0:10 this play sent Buffalo into a frenzy. Also, Bills fans donated 442K in $17 amounts to the Andy Dalton Foundation
I remember that Jacksonville/New Orleans tilt too. I remember them saying that Carney hadn”t missed a PAT in three years.
It's always the one. Just ask Gary Anderson about that.
@@JL-sm6cg I remember that. The 1998 NFC championship game. 14-2 Falcons versus 15-1 Vikings. Gary Anderson misses the field goal that could have sent the Vikings to the Super Bowl. He had hit some 35 straight and hadn’t missed any all season. It’s too bad too because Randall Cunningham was having a Renaissance season and he deserved a shot at a Super Bowl ring.
The kick that brung in the Matt Millen Era...@8:56.
And look at the Lions now. They're doing great!
Cardinals eliminating the Vikes never gets old. SKOL That
Signed Saints
As a Packers fan, this puts a smile on my face
On that missed XP, the Saints needed help even if they had won that game, and the help did not materialize. It's a dramatic play that ends in heartbreaking fashion, but the Saints would have been eliminated anyway even if they had won that game.
So why would the fans act like the Saints were possibly still in, and boo him nonetheless?
@@bmasters1981 this was a week 16 game, outcomes from games played week 17 would've eliminated the Saints anyway. Something the fans at the stadium couldn't know for another week
6:30 and 6:47 Marty Glickman of NY Jets radio on the call
I remember baltimore vs Cincinnati very well I was at my grandparents house and only 2 years earlier lost my mom so I was still recovering but I told my grandpa I hope Cincinnati wins so buffalo gets in and it was a very memorable experience and game for me
THERE ARE VIKINGS CRYING ON THE FIELD
Gonna need to add the 23 colts
Marvelous Video 📸 NFL Throwback Keep Up The Great Work
Paul Allen is such a tremendous broadcaster. After all the heartbreak he's had to witness, he deserves to see a Vikings Super Bowl someday.
(monkey’s paw finger curls)
Not gonna happen
"TOUCHDOWN!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Is so iconic!!
He sounds like he's just watched his child get run over by a speeding Hummer
9:47 you can see the mascot smacking his head on the field goal post lol
0:42 That would not be TD today.
It’s never easy to win in the league but if you can’t win a first seed/first round bye, do enough to clinch a playoff berth so you don’t find yourself in this predicament.
Or at least win the division.
That ab slant is a work of art best receiver in the 2010s
I'm definitely Sure still to this day Buffalo Bills Fans are saying Thank You Cincinnati for the win to get us into the playoffs 0:19
Much thanks for posting this video!
4:01 (at the time) unknown Kevin Harlan doing radio PBP for the Kansas City Chiefs
He’s pretty good
So good I think he could call two games at once
1:03 “THERE ARE MINNESOTA VIKINGS CRYING ON THE FIELD”
No way they let Carney on the plane-ride home
😂😂😂😂😂😂
10:05 you should add 2011 raiders chargers game
Worst thing about the Vikes/Cardinals one is that t would no longer be a catch. Push out rule been gone for awhile.
To this day John Carney's extra point miss in 2003 is still one of the most insane moments in football to me
9:55-i remember this one well. The Raiders were just eliminated from playoff contention entering the game. Raiders players loudly said, "we're missing the playoffs, so we're taking the Chiefs home with us". This was also the final game for the great KC linebacker Derrick Thomas, who was involved in a tragic car accident on the weekend of Super Bowl XXXIV and died weeks later.
Paul Allen's caul just cemented Vikings' unfortunate season:
0:41 - “Here it is, the season’s on the line, two receivers left and right. McCown takes the snap, he steps up, he’s all by himself. Fires it into the end zone … touch … touchdown! Noo!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! The Cardinals have knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs!!! … There are Minnesota Vikings crying on the field.”
those division games are brutal - never underestimate your divisional foe
All these loses are painful, but that Saints won at the end of the video is probably the most crushing, not for me but just in general.
Even as a Bucs fan who despises the Aints, my heart ached for that Saints team.
NFL Throwback really triggered my PTSD as a Ravens fan with Tyler Boyd and Antonio Brown. Christmas and New Year's Eve completely RUINED by division rivals in back to back years
Same exact score too. 31-27
Best part of this video @ the 7:29 mark
As a Green Bay fan that call in the Vikings game was magical 😂 dude i was like 13-14 when that happened and i could not belive what i just watched. The 2003 season will always be one of my favorite of all time.
As a Broncos fan, that loss to San Fran still stings because of Darrent Williams murder that night.
We had benched Plummer for Cutler and I always wonder how the team would have fairer if Cutler was the day one starter. We went from 7-2…. TO 9 AND FREAKING 7!!!!!!!!
Our defense went from top 3 to 14th!!! Champ Bailey had arguably the best season for CB ever and was locking everyone up!! Was ROBBED of DPOY by Jason Taylor, who had nowhere near the impact Champ had.
If Cutler was the day one starter, this team probably goes 10-6 or 11-5 because Plummer was atrocious but the run game was top 7 and ripped of 135 yards a game.
I love Mike Shanahan and I think Kyle should’ve been the Broncos coach in 2017. (hiring VANCE F’ING JOSEPH over Kyle was the biggest mistake in franchise history. Thank god we got Sean) with that being said, in 2 of his last 3 years, Mikes team CHOKED. In 06 we went from 7-2 to 9-7, in 07 went from 2-0 to 7-9…
lastly to 2008 season…… this team was 3-0 and ultimately 8-5 with a three game lead on the 5-8 Chargers. We chocked every game and ultimately lost and a lot of it was due to Mike and the fact we had probably the worst defense in franchise history and one of the NFL’s all time worst defenses ever. It was a nightmare era for us Broncos fans.
2008 had quite a few regular season chokes
Mentioned DEN, that L at SD was Mike Shanahan’s final game as Broncos coach. In Jan 1998, Jack Murphy Stadium was the site of his greatest accomplishment. Fast forward to Dec 2008, he gets the pink slip
DAL (my team): 8-4 w/4 weeks left
L at PIT, W vs NYG, final game at Texas Stadium is L vs BAL, & coup de grace a 44-6 beat down at PHI. Eagles go in as NFC-6 at 9-6-1 (tie was at CIN), Cowboys are out
WSH: 6-2 at halfway mark, Jim Zorn is a genius!
Lose 6/8. In Week 16, they completed the season sweep of PHI, but ATL beat MN thus *ELIMINATION*
NYJ: 8-3, ended TN’s bid for perfection and robbed us of 11-0 vs 0-11 on Thanksgiving
Brett Favre is hurt & stubbornly keeps playing. Man-genius is a Man-idiot. Season ends w/L at home vs MIA quarterbacked by Chad Pennington
