Plays That ELIMINATED Teams From Playoff Contention! 

Even when my Packers have a bad year. Paul Allen's adventual freak out cheers me up.

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 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

Had the force out rule been changed sooner that wouldn’t have been a catch… just our luck

Brett Favre goes back to pass, he PUMPS. Now he FIRES IT OVER THE MIDDLE i n t e r c e p t e d, i can't believe what i'm seeing right now.

THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL‼️‼️

Good 😂

“THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!”

@@TheGameCube64GuyNOOOOO …………NnnnOoOoOOO 😂😂

It’s a classic for right and wrong reasons 😂

“Nice. Impressive. Let’s hear Paul Allen’s call.”

River City Relay

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.

those kind of plays will eat at him but after your team just made the play of the century and then you miss? scarred for forever lol

@@johnathanpatrick6118that’s what I thought. Didn’t the cardinals game help screw is too with the “push out”

@@Ro1o its carneys billy squier rock metonight video moment its all he will be remembered for even though he had decent career

A fellow man of culture I see

Ooooo another man of culture

Right you are, Ken...I mean, Tree.

Is that a UrinatingTree reference?

least Brandon Staley is fired so maybe they will turn it around?

Chargers: Pain

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

Yep.... Raiders were just going to let that run out and both get into the playoffs, but Staley gotta Staley....

Staley calling a TO was the dumbest call to do especially since the Raiders were going to let the time run out

Glad they included positive Lions history on here.

Always fun to see the greats lose every once in a while

Eli still could have refused to play for arizona though

Wow.. Eli throwing to Boldin but where does Larry Fitzgerald end up?!?

​@@aceassn716That's the real question i think. Who would of had the 3rd pick in the draft?

@@logantiller2864 Yeah, Eli would have still gone crying to daddy Archie to have the Cardinals not draft him

@@logantiller2864and he probably would have. Cardinals were an absolute dumpster fire in the early 2000s.

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.

Now that there are 27 play off s as spots nothing is as good.

@@Spanner249what?

Week 17 you mean lol

@@Spanner249There are 14 lol, which isn’t much more than the 12 they had back then.

@@TheSloppyjoejr There were actually 18 weeks in 1993, every team played 16 games but had an extra bye week.

then flacco wouldn’t be with the browns today 😳

What are you talking about?? He won a road playoff game every year for his first five seasons!! Including a SUPERBOWL MVP

@@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.

YESSSSSS 😂😂

Yeah

​@@kevinuchiha6830 Daddy, no!

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.

@@effend446Bills fans also donated to Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd’s charities too

Lol I remember the media showing the bills getting all hyped reacting to the ending of that game

Just prior to the Moseley FG, 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.

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

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's a relief because otherwise it would have been beyond brutal.

TOUCHDOWN!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

@@kojiattwood THE VIKINGS ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!

​@@mjwatts1983Vikings hear that a lot. Even when they make the playoffs.

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.

@@tombriggs9259 That and the Bears running up the score on the Cardinals

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.

@@davidroberts7282 1974 would finally be the year the Falcons get to the playoffs… right?

the vikings would’ve made the playoffs in 2003 if that rule was there back then 😭

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.

I went 16-0 in my football picks that week due to that insane finish

Agreed. Especially when it gets Joe Buck excited.

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!!

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

No, a loss would have given them the #1 pick.

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

And look how far the Lions have come since then!

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??

He sounds like he's just watched his child get run over by a speeding Hummer

Happy New Year To You TCodes

Awful? It wasn’t that bad

LMAO

(monkey’s paw finger curls)

Not gonna happen

As a Packers fan, this puts a smile on my face

Same exact score too. 31-27

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 🙏🏽

That game is so memorable to me cause I just happened to be watching it live as an 8 year old non Saints fan. First wild ending to a football game I witnessed and I was hooked ever since lol.

@@Thrashman-ye4cf I think I was like 14. My whole family was watching. My aunt was like, how could they do all that then miss the field goal!? Lol

And Romo doing likewise the year before in Washington.

Holding call on Alex Barron the play before.. it was a td pass to Demarco Murray Next play Int, see ya next season

Well...the next decade wasn't any better. They ended up being the first team to finish a season 0-16.

@@simplemanchannel3318 that was 2008 and part of the stretch I mentioned.

@@michaelvandeginste3497 Sorry. You're right. It didn't seem that long ago.

@@simplemanchannel3318 no problem. Truth is, that nightmare is never completely out of our heads.
