Damn it~!!! OK...you still own us, but it is always a close game ......great game guys!! I can't believe you were able to come back and get the FG.....53yder with 2 clicks left.....
i know..i seen some good kickers miss 23 yarders.....hes really our MVP n our best weapongot to be careful giving a kicker too much praise. So far Stampede has been perfect all season, hasn't missed a FG or XP.
But... I'm a Vikings fan. 1998 the Vikings went 15-1 (should have been 16-0) led by Cunnigham, Moss, Carter, Reed, and Smith. Their kicker, Gary Anderson, had the perfect season, didn't miss a single FG or XP all season long.... the first kicker ever in the NFL to go with out missing a kick all season..then came the NFC Championship Game.
Anderson at the time was the all time leading scorer in the NFL, had made 420 FG's. He hit 46 FG's in a row dating back to 1997, never missing any, until the biggest kick of his career in January of 1999. He lined up for a "gimme" chip shot, a 38 yard FG with his team up 27-20. The kick went wide left... and Atlanta took the field. Minnesota was favored by 12? points I believe going into this game.. even tho Atlanta had got 14-2 that season. Well... Atlanta went on to win that game 30-27 in overtime, derailing (arguably) the best Vikings team to ever take the field, crushing our SB dreams

So, all these kicks mean nothing, if you don't make them in the big games! Now I'm going to go cry after reminiscing about the most disappointing sports game I've ever witnessed. It still hurts, oh so much :'(
