The MOST SHOCKINGLY BAD GAME in Detroit Lions HISTORY | Packers @ Lions (1990)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Detroit Lions kicker Eddie Murray is one of the greatest kickers in NFL history, and in 1988 and 1989, set records for how good he was. But in week 4 of the 1990 NFL season, in a game against the Green Bay Packers, he was shockingly bad, to the point where in the history of the Detroit Lions franchise, and maybe the history of the NFL, we've never seen a performance quite like this one. This is the story behind Eddie Murray and his awful 1990 game against the Packers at the Pontiac Silverdome

Jason Hanson is without a doubt the best kicker in lions history. Murray was great but Hanson was with the franchise for 20 years and his all time kicking numbers are much higher
Hard to compare stats across that time period
Billy Belcher you spelled Eddie Murray's NAME WRONG. Murray was a WAY BETTER KICKER than Jason Hanson.
@@chadwickwhite6107 nah
Prater is my Picard to your Murray (Kirk).
I LOVED it when you said "as automatic as The Pointer Sisters" at @12:11. Sports and music are two of my biggest passions, so this channel fits perfectly.
It, plus everyone's favorite catch phrases ("which is worse than if you did nothing but spike the ball into the ground on every single play" and "I'm sorry. WHAT?!"), the depth and breath of the research involved and a whole bunch of reasons that make this channel so much fun to come to every day.
He was born the same year as MLB's own Eddie Murray (1956). Both won a championship. They're 187 days apart.
Go Orioles? (or the team that used to be before Peter Angeles took it over). Signing off, a 48-year-old Nationals fan from Virginia I used to visit Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards back in the day... Them firing Davy Johnson was beginning of the end.. him being hired by my newly adopted Nationals turned it around! It took until 7 years later when he climbed out the GM office into the drug out... Then retired a few years later... It's a shame that the Yankees got those World Series instead of the Orioles
I don’t enjoy much of anything on current TV. This makes me all the more thankful that you keep coming up with “episodes” that interest me.
Eddie's son is a friend of mine. We met at a bar near Central Michigan University in 2001, and, being a thoughtless jerk, the first thing that I mentioned to him was his dad's missed FG against SF in the playoffs. He laughed and said that so many people had done that when meeting him.
"This was the last time a Lions player named Johnson would catch a touchdown pass that would be overturned."
Lovely snark.
OJG9 can do snark as well as anybody on the internet I have ever seen, and I've been on the internet probably longer than he's been alive.
🛑🛑 Those old Lions Uniforms we’re AWESOME!!
The new ones the Lions currently wear….Suck. 💯🤔
JG9: Whether you choose Eddie Murray or Jason Hanson, I'm not sure you'll hear too many complaints.
Me: Mainly because there aren't that many Lions fans left.
Que comentarios mas ahuevao
8:35 Fantastic trolling! I love it!!
Also in a year where my Packers were relatively mediocre, I think it’s safe to say this was one of their luckiest wins they’ve had in relatively recent memory! 6-10, but this 1 out of the 6 they were very lucky to have.
Several against the Lions.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made videos about the following:
1. How Broncos Kicker Fred Steinfort missed four field goals in one quarter against the Raiders in 1981.
2. How Eagles Kick Returner Wally Henry experienced deja vu from a bad perspective in consecutive years.
3. How Eddie Murray’s successor in Detroit, Jason Hanson, made a game winning field goal with an injured leg.
I can't overlook his miss field goal in candlestick vs. the 49ers....we almost beat Joe Montana in his prime with Gary Danielson at Qb
recently this became my "drive home for work" channel, just put it on and listen and check at lights, pretty relaxing lol.
..."Automatic as The Pointer Sisters"; I love it, and now I'm so excited, since I have that ...that championship feeling (just a feeling though; I'll win a championship, uh, Friday?)!
He showed total class in that press conference. If everyone else were to show that much class in their interviews.
Or, even attend interviews.
Maybe those missed kicks don't matter if the Lions don't blow a 21-10 4th quarter lead. Last time I checked Murray didn't play on defense. Just sayin'.
That's exactly what I thought
We were blessed with kickers lol to go from eddie murray, to jason hanson to matt prater. Like 40 years of having a good kicker. Should have never let prater walk
Additionally, RBs, WRs, absolutely.
Even David Akers was not so bad at Detroit
@@jamesarmstrong1811 Great kicker, obscenely unlucky.
Reminds me of that game Kris Brown had for the Steelers back in week 8 of 2001 against the Randall Cunningham led Baltimore Ravens. He went 1 for 5, missing his last 4. He missed a couple of chip shots in the 4th, the last one was in the closing seconds of the 4th and the Steelers lost 13-10.
9:15
...with the Lions leading 21-7 midway through the period.
I think you mean 21-17. It's literally impossible for the Packers to go from 10 points in the 2nd quarter to 7 in the 4th lol
Mason Crosby in 2018: “Allow me to return the favor.”
Ring absolutely isn't deserved.
Soon as you said “Any game!” My head went right to 83 and San Fran! Lol
I was about ready to say the same thing. More proof the Lions just can and never will win a Super Bowl. When it does happen Hell will probably freeze over. But I was able to rebuild the 0-16 Lions in Madden 10 and got them to go 11-5 and win the Super Bowl the next season. With salary cap on and no boosted players stats.
Imagine if he did this in the age of Twitter, Murray would've been put on blast by fans.
Also, the team would've cut him immediately since in today's NFL only criminals ever get second chances.
Also, Twitter would've allowed every single death threat against Murray without punishing anyone while still claiming to be against "hate speech".
Thanks for the video! Does anyone happen to know any brawls that had more than 2 players disqualified during the 1990, 1991, 1992, or 1993 seasons?
I’m remembering the Jay Feely game against the Seahawks (imagine being on the winning end of that one… oh wait my team was!) and although it wasn’t as stunning as this, it was quite stunning to react to three potential game winning kicks all miss.
Barry Sanders had -1 in a playoff game in 1994
Sanders was the most boom or bust running back I ever saw. And some games he never pulled off a couple long runs to offset the number of times he was tackled near or behind the line if scrimmage.
I know you referenced the Bucs game last year when Brady was pulled for Blane Gabbert but another example from earlier in Brady's career would be the 2006 Week 14 game vs Miami. Patriots were shut out 21-0 and Brady was held to 78 yards passing, was sacked 4 times, and fumbled twice. Miami had Joey Harrington under center.
Dolphins frequently an annoyance.
On the flip side of kicking woes in a Lions-Packers game, there was that game at Ford Field when Mason Crosby was missing just about everything. He missed 4 field goals and 1 PAT. I was at that game in 2018. He cost the team 13 points in a game they lost by 8.
Contests, loaded, with, errors.
Never heard this one/remember it--Eddie Murray was clutch throughout his career, so this one was shocking. Excellent video. Shows that no matter how great a player is, even the best of them can have just an awful game (great analysis of how even stars can't bring their "A" game every game). Murray was so reliable, so that game you reported on was so uncharacteristic of him.....and love the "Space Jam" reference, too :). Fantastic video of a "disaster" of a game.
The original was awful, yet, the sequel turned it into Citizen Kane.
@@matthewdaley746 I know you aren't talking about Space Jam. Because if you are mommy needs to cut off the Wi-Fi in the basement
@@drewdixon5556Alas, I am, it took the sequel to prove, how, worse things would eventually get, your Mommy needs to tell you things you, liked, particularly, older things, don't age well.
Murray did have a terrible miss against the 49ers in the '83 playoffs. It wasn't a chip-shot FG but it's one he should have made (43 yards, after he booted a 54-yarder earlier in the game), and it would have won the Lions the game and sent them to the NFC Championship
@@pronkb000 Washington, likely, prevails, anyway.
I don’t know if Eddie Murray is interesting enough to warrant 2 videos, but an idea for a future video might be how the Lions signed him after he bounced around late in his career so he could “retire a Lion”…and then signed elsewhere after that 🤣
that is so lions. and murray may have been one of the lions best kickers (with hanson) but missed the big kicks in typical lion fashion. like the kick at sf at the end of the game that could have beaten the montana niners in playoff game. even monte clark praying before the kick didn't help the lions.
Adding insult to injury, Mark Moseley did, everything, but, lose, in, The NFC Championship Game, that was marred by severely inept officiating, only time praying worked was Joe Gibbs against the Vikings, many wanted him fired, since, Rocket Screen, only this year prevented it.
The most shockingly bad game in Detroit Lions history? To quote Marty Mornhingweg, "The bar is high."
You want to call out a bad game from Eric Dickerson in 1984 and you go with 49 yards against the Steelers and NOT the game against the 49ers when he rushed for only 38 yards? WTH? Well, at least you mentioned Murray's miss in the 1983 Divisional Game ;) (Another great video and GO NINERS!)
1984 49ers, legendarily dominant.
They beat Dickerson and Marino in thier record years
@@Mateogreat Before Jerry Rice's drafting.
@@matthewdaley746 Steelers beat the 49ers that season. Just sayin'.
@@DolFan316 By three points, on a terrible call, which only made their, indefensible, decision to trade less than one full Game, with, Terry Bradshaw, for Dan Marino's entire career, even dumber, just saying.
Amazing content and ... recovering Lions fan here. Did you ever do a video on the Lions Cowboys game. THE BATTLE OF THE NINES with Stafford and Romo. 6 turnovers is a great meal but a ridiculoua game and four of them fumbles complete with a zero timeout drive and qb sneak? Just saying. It's the game I use to teach my nephews. I rewatch on youtube. Worth checking out because it is... insane. Contextually too in the season. Later Gator.
Great job!
That game might explain why Eddie Murray was a Cowboy.
Murray kicked great for Dallas in 1993 and won himself a SB ring.
@@SouthernGreyShark, true
Jason Hanson is actually from my hometown here in Spokane, Washington so its hard for me not to be biased in this case. Although not even the most successful NFL player from here since he never won the bowl that would have to be Mark Rypien who actually won Superbowl MVP and he was actually born in Canada but grew up here and even went to my high school, although my dad is the same age and my mom is 2 years younger she went to the main rival school and my dad went to another rival. But Cooper Kupp is taking over the mantle in regards of fairly local players as the best, he is from Yakima which is almost 200 miles away but Eastern Washington his alma mater is in a main suburb of Spokane and its where my mom went. So he is turning into an adopted son of Spokane too although its still all Eastern Washington state and all that, and its while playing for one of the main bittter rivals of the local favorite Seahawks including my favorite team, so thats bittersweet.
For what its worth only one of those was a "short" kick.
Great story, what are the odds that he would miss 4 in a row? Total kicks attempted, total kicks missed, some dividing somewhere in there and you might get a better chance of being struck by lightning or winning the lottery, legit. lol
Everyone has bad games. Even Morton Andersen had bad games. Justin Tucker too but not many. Kickers like Murray having a bad game you can literally shrug it off to just a bad day at the office knowing he'd bounce back. And it's not like winning this game would have changed Detroit's fortunes. So they go 7-9 instead of 6-10. Also, Murray had a hip injury that eventually sidelined him for the season so there's that.
Justin Tucker's worst Game, unfortunately, came against the Bills in the Playoffs, as a result, Lamar Jackson's Pick Six cost them the Game, (and, wasted an uncharacteristically solid performance), anyone who thinks he isn't the actual MVP of the Ravens, also, thinks, The Earth Is Flat.
We always had great kickers if we didn't have anything else we also had Garo Yepremian and Errol Mann.
Eddie “Eat, Drink, and Be” Murray
Mason Crosby had a bad day like Murray did,Crosby, kicking for Green Bay, blew 4 field goals of his own against the Lions in a 30-21 loss to Detroit
Frequently, a tragic scenario.
Credit to Eddie Murray he didnt throw his teammates and coach under the bus. He had a lousy game and he own up
In today's NFL he'd have been cut the next day, even with the exact same career going into the game.
This was the first NFL I ever attended and set the tone for a lifetime of disappointing Lions games!
I hope the team has turned the corner with Dan Campbell.
The biggest missed fg that stands out in my mind is his miss against the 49ers in the playoffs when Monte Clark was praying on the sidelines.
Joe Gibbs was praying on the sidelines against the Vikings, because the fans never forgave him for Rocket Screen, (many still haven't), they get their wish were it, not, for, "The Drop."
@@matthewdaley746 Hell Gibbs has 3 superbowls the only thing that skins fans have to complain about is Daniel Snyder running the team straight into the ground and losing their knickname.
@@karlcooper7016 Fans often lack perspective, having said that, his NASCAR career is, also, glorious, but, oh, boy, if Denny Hamlin never wins a Championship, that will truly leave a black mark.
@@matthewdaley746 Try this for perspective try living here in Detriot and going without a championship for 62 years.
@@karlcooper7016 Pretty rough, at least, you had two World Series, three NBA Championships, and, a collection of Cups, better than Cleveland.
You could've done Mason Crosby think he went 1 for 5 vs my lions
Worst kicker ever to win the SB, and, that's, not, remotely close.
Crosby's game against the Bengals in 2021 certainly was an adventure; he did win the game though, eventually.😏
@@gluserty "Win," is, possibly, exaggerating.
12:12 I understood this! Ty Vice City 😂
Eddie Murray was a new at kicker 12 years with the Lions and 8 years with a bunch of other teams. Jason Hanson was epic with Detroit though. 20 years kicking for the Lions and very accurate as well. Missed 8 games in his whole career. Murray is number 2. No shame there he was very good.
Lastly Murray missing 3 in a game is like Jerry Jones not having anything to say. It doesn't happen.
Not if you look at their numbers as opposed to the rest of kickers numbers at that time . Hansens era kickers were way, way mor accurate and way longer. Kicking improved leaps and bounds from 1990- 2000, 2001-2010
Look into Scott Norwood's 1991 against the Raiders.
The Lions were 2.5 point favorites for this game, maybe he received an offer he couldn't refuse.
Granted 2 were 50+
Why were the Lions behind 24-21? I don't think Murray gave up the TD's
Saw Mason Crosby miss 5 at Ford Field
Yet, possesses a Ring.
9:12 21-17 instead of 21-7?
You have to understand Lions history it's just typical but I don't remember this game.
Eddie Murray at least has a Super Bowl ring from the Cowboys
Two of 4 were from 50,not really a chip shot,but still makeable for him. Only in Detroit .
Briefly setting up each clip and then, you know, rolling the clip with its original audio would've been preferred.
Again I am reminded that the Detroit Lions can never catch a break. 🤷♂️
Best job in pro team sports has to be the last man off the bench on an NBA team. Contract is guaranteed, you're on easy street. Gotta think the worst job in sports is to be a FG kicker. Everyone knows you're not a real football player, if you make it then of course you should have, that's all you're getting paid to do. You miss and you cost your team thei game.
James Brown on PBP
I thought that voice sounded familiar.
Murray Hanson Prater ❤️
Kicking is the only thing the Lions have been consistently good at since the 50s.
There are about 30 (or more) BAD Lions games since 1990, how can you narrow it to 1 is BEYOND ME LOL!
Possesses enormous ability, period.
That's almost as bad as the lions record in Wisconsin
Or, against Joe Gibbs.
@@matthewdaley746 or in washington
That's why there the Lions
grace in defeat. being an angry baby is such a wimpy thing to do.
Tom Brady truly never learned this lesson, he went to, The Serena Williams School Of Sportsmanship, glad, I'm, not, alone.
Lol what about Jason Hanson's three missed kicks about the bears in 2001?
Eddie Murray was normally Eddie Money, but he had a tough go with it against the Packers; Murray would've been better off as Eddie Murphy as Prince Akeem in "Coming to America". Amazing though, that stretch in 1988 & 1989, and 90%+ was back in the day when teams were happy if their kicker made 75% of field goals.
Beginning in 1990, Murray's percentage leveled off back to the mean for the remainder of his career, but I remember how reliable he was for the 1993 Cowboys when they kicked Lin Elliott through the Texas uprights (according to Elliott, he could've been an all-pro, but he spent too much time chasing woman in his free time. I highly doubt that, and I don't remember too many woman on the Texas Stadium field, except Jerry Jones's invitation to Elizabeth Taylor for a coin toss in 1989). Like Bernie Kosar, Murray didn't begin 1993 with the Cowboys, but ended the season with a ring.a
OT, but, Coming 2 America was a dumpster fire, Tracy Morgan isn't funny, at all, and, the new director's, simply, terrible, OTOH, at least, he's a far better person than the original director, (and, his son).
@@matthewdaley746 I've actually never really liked "Coming to America" all that much (more into Axel Foley) but Colleen the a.azing Marriott bartender calls my buddy Rickie the bar back Prince Akeem (guy looks more like Prince Aladdin to me, but Colleen is simply too macho to readily accept such an opinion).
@@gluserty I've always thought it was, somewhat, overrated, and, it was Eddie Murphy's last blockbuster before he went into a slump that wasn't broken until The Nutty Professor, he never really recovered from the one that started, with, Norbit, BHC4's been in Development Hell for years, considering the state of things, he truly has nothing to lose by making it now.
@@matthewdaley746 "Harlem Nights" & the flabby sequel to "48HRS." Derailed the Murphy express. The word also is that he stopped being around funny people and instead had ass-kissers surrounding him, which caused him to lose his edge a little.
I don't know, I also like "Boomerang", and "Vampire in Brooklyn" is screwed up because Murphy and Wes Craven had a different artistic vision for Murphy's character (they were in different creative places at the time).
@@gluserty Harlem Nights killed his directorial career, with, one stroke, although, it's enjoyed a re-evaluation, since, Another 48 HRs, was a remake of the original, but, didn't do well enough for a third film, Yet, Another 48 HRs, (seriously), it, also, didn't help that he was caught, with, a prostitute, around when Hugh Grant was, OTOH, it led his career into a whole new direction.
I watched this game on UA-cam weeks ago. It's a damn good game but those missed FGs screwed the Lions (along with them blowing an 11 point lead.)
But I also watched the Week 3 game between the Lions and Buccaneers. In that game, the announcers reported that Murray had a bad hip and that the Lions were trying to make sure he didn't kick FGs that much because of it. So he very well could have been nursing that hip injury in this game and that's why he missed them.
Of course, while it's a good excuse, it still sucks that the Lions basically pissed away 12 points because of Murray's injury and misses. Dean Biasucci of the Colts the next year in Week 1 against the Patriots got the Colts' 1-15 record off to a start with 4 missed FGs in that game. It also should be noted that Murray recovered.....while the loss here sucked, there were plenty of other games the Lions pissed away that season to miss the playoffs (Blowing a 35-21 lead against Washington in the 4th to a third string QB, blowing a 7 point lead against the Buccaneers in Week 3, losing to the Vikings at home and getting off to fast starts almost all season only to flame out by the second half and struggle to come back in games).
Edit: my apologies.....it was a 38-21 lead that they blew against the Redskins.
The Lions led that game against Washington 38-14 at one point until Jeff Rutledge came in for a shoulda spiked the ball on every play Stan Humphries. Rutledge's 12-yard touchdown to tie the game was on a draw play designed for Humphries.
To be fair to Murray, two of the field goals he missed in THIS game were 50-plus-yarders. He's made them, but it's not like all four field goals were chip shots that you or I could have made.
@@msarzo Yea Humphries played like shit in that game (3 picks) but then Rutledge came in and just took the game over. The Lions couldn't do shit on offense because the Redskins figured out how to stop the run and shoot, thus stopping the Lions' offense and the defense was getting ripped apart. The game's on UA-cam.....its a hell of a game.
I also agree with that sentiment......two of those missed FGs we're 50+ and a lot of kickers struggled from 50+ at the time (I think the longest FG up to that point was like 56 yds) so kind of getting on his ass about it is definitely harsh. And again, in the week prior, the announcers mentioned he was dealing with a hip injury, which also could have affected his kicking.
@@crater044 I rewatched that Washington-Detroit game a few months ago. It definitely was a hell of a game. I think it was the greatest comeback by a Washington team until Kirk Cousins lead the one he punctuated with "You like that?!"
What do you EXPECT when you have 2 teams such as the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers that COMBINED are WORSE than a 39.6 and should be SPIKING the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play?! A GOOD GAME? NO. Of COURSE it will be a BAD GAME.
That was such a fluke. As a Bucs fan (in the now-defunct NFC Central with the Lions until the 2002 realignment), I remember how great Murray was. As for this game, I'll give him a pass for the misses from 50+ yards, but he had to make the other 2. Everyone lays an egg at some point and if any Lion had any right to lay one, it was Murray.
Murray hit 13 of 15 FGs the rest of that season BTW.
