Hahaha. I saw the end of that, wow.
I also wondered, every time a guy gets up on something close, he waves his hands in a "throw the flag" motion at the ref. When are they going to allow the refs to make a "catch the ball" or "break the tackle" motion. Sort of a "here's how to do your job" bit of solidarity. Starting to look like soccer out there.

As a Vikings fan,

I feel bad for the kicker. If not for him they arent in a position to win the game to begin with.

Then again if not for AP and his consistent tendency to fumble the ball at the worse possible moments they probably aren't in a position to loose it.

As good as he is I've been saying they should have traded Peterson years ago (and no I dont give a single damn about the child beating incident). He's a great player no doubt. but one great player alone doesn't win you a championship its a bad idea to build a team around one single player.
As I keep arguing and pointing out to my son. "How many teams are going to win the Superbowl without Adrian Peterson now?"

A few years ago the Vikes could have gotten some value for him. Now as a reward for his fumblitus. If it were up to me I'd trade him to the worse team in the league...for its waterboy

I wanted the Seahawks to win (as I live in the Seattle area and because there is a Michigan Wolverine on the Seahawks), but I still feel bad for the kicker.

The fumble wasn't completely Peterson's fault.  Chancellor is very good at stripping the ball.

I don't feel bad for the kicker...  He's a 1-skill player.  He has one job.  Just one.  If the kick is returned for a TD, it isn't the kicker's fault.  There are a lot of other players on the field who are paid to tackle. The kicker does one thing and he has to do it right every time.

Some kickers take it really seriously.  That guy who used to kick barefoot?  He took it seriously.  The kickers who wear the official sponsored footgear only on their non-kicking foot and their own chosen shoe on their kicking foot?  They take it pretty seriously I suppose.  Did this guy take it seriously?  Who knows.  We do know he didn't do his job when it really mattered, and his whole team gets to watch the rest of the playoffs at home on their TVs.

Not that I give a hoot about either team in this case, but come on.  The guy has one job.

The holder failed him twice. The second time he missed and it could have been because of the holder. That is the point.

It's a team sport. The team lost. The kicker did not lose the game. The team put them in the position that the only way to win was for him to make the kick. Had the team performed better, it would not have come down to that kick. It is never one person or play that loses a game.

And Peterson has a known history of being very good at fumbling it in big games

All in all though I cant say I am entirely disappointed in this team though. They by far exceeded any expectations I had for them this year

Except in this case, where it did come down to one guy and the kicker lost the game.  The team put him in an great place to score and he bricked it.

Maybe I can't feel the emotion of losing a game like that, anymore.  I am after all a Chargers fan, and they do that sort of thing every other game.

One job!  Laces out?  How about practicing kicking the stupid laces sometimes, just in case?  Not enough time in the day to practice kicking it laces out AND laces in, maybe?
