    The only way to get comments on here is to say something controversial about a player.

    that giants kicker sure got the last laugh though, didn't he?

      That rookie long snapper needs to send Feely a Rolex.

        You mean Feagles?

          No, Feagles did a fantastic job getting the high snap down.

          Yeah, that's what I meant, if Feagles doesn't get the snap down, the long snapper is the goat, not Tynes. And it's a lot harder for a long snapper to go from goat to hero than it is for a kicker.

          Good point. That save put half the blame on Feely.

    You nailed this!! If the 49ers game was not number 1 then we were going to have some problems! lol

      Actually, they aren't in any particular order. Seeing that happen at the end of regulation last night though definitely flashed me back to one of the weirdest botched field goals, the Giants-Niners Wild Card game. Every Giants fan in America was screaming "SPIKE THE BALL! JUST SPIKE THE BALL!"

    I'd have to go with Romo against the Seahwaks last year. It wasnt even a FG, it was a damn PAT practically.

      EastCoastBias replied January 21, 2008

      The others on the list weren't gimmies at all, so that's a good point.

    GETusJUST1 said January 21, 2008

    You know? A botch is a botch though. The kicker never has a chance if the snap and/or hold is bad.

    I thought they were all quite funny. Thanks for the chuckle.
