Even before the Hawks/Vikings game started I was confident I was watching the last game the Hawks would play for the season. Certain! The cold factor alone took its toll on both teams.
I think every single person in TCF Bank Stadium today is still stupefied at the outcome. I cannot imagine what Blair Walsh is going through tonight.
My condolences Vikings fans, from a Hawks fan. I know we're moving on but it doesn't feel like we earned it.
Felt the same way, but it's a game of execution and mistakes. Never leave the game in the hands of a kicker, unless you have to.
Teams like to draft, sign, and obtain long range kickers. They would be smarter to sign one who don't miss often, even when their range is 5-10 yards less.
(Example - Chargers cutting Nick Novak....mega dumb move)
