In all my years of watching football, I've never seen a more bizarre set of two plays than these two for the Saints. You probably know which ones I mean. They're the ones I think of simply as, "Ooooohhh, nooooooo! He missed the extra point wide right. Oh, my God, how could he do that????" That's what the announcer said. I think that was probably the New Orleans area radio announcer because I've seen these plays with other announcers.
It's totally hilarious as long as you're not a Saints fan. If this had happened to the Cowboys, I think I would just crawl under a rock and die.
There's another video of this where a dude analyzes it, including calculating the odds, and also includes some good humor. Here's that one:
Other teams have had massive heartbreaks -- Scott Norwood's wide right to lose the Super Bowl for the Bills, and of course then losing three more straight to make a record 4-straight lost Super Bowls. Ouch for that one too. And, of course, the Vikings, 'nuff said.
Cowboys fans have suffered our misfortunes, the Ice Bowl, The Catch, the bogus interference in SB 13, Dez's supposed non-catch. Yeah, we've got some real crap that has hurt, but I do thank our lucky stars we didn't suffer the "Oh, no, he missed the extra point" series of plays. The guy in the second video calculates the odds of those two plays occurring back to back. Of course this was back when an extra point was a super easy chip shot, and was not like a 33-yard field goal like it is today.
If there's some bizarre play, series of plays, season, draft snafu, anything terrible that happened to another team that you're glad didn't happen to the Cowboys, post it in this thread. Thanks.
