IDK this is pretty bad too (new window)

What is the point of such an article without an accompanying video.

Trey Junkin certainly didn't lose that game, it was lost by the clowns who stopped playing at 38-14 and let the 49ers back into the game.

And Junkin was hardly the first guy on the Giants FG unit to have problems that year, they couldn't execute a kick to save their lives. Even if they'd called the pass interference penalty on the final play, they wouldn't have made the FG. They could have had 10 chances and not made it.

I've always wondered what it's like to have consistently good snaps on your NFL team.

/Cowboys fan, obviously

This ranks #2 in sports moments blocked out of my head forever, only behind Crosby's Overtime goal in the Olympics that never happened.

HulkHands: Because it's easier for Giants fans to blame the refs than their defense when it fell apart - complete with Strahan's douchebaggery (screaming at TO to look at the scoreboard when the 49ers were down 21-38).

Just out of curiosity, who WOULDN'T say that when TO was acting like a moron trailing by 17 points? I'm quite sure any number of your beloved Patriots would do exactly the same thing, as would players on every team. You'd have to be an idiot to believe otherwise.

That said, you're right about the Giants general attitude in those days. Shockey dancing, taunting the fans and dropping a TD pass that would have made it 45-14. They were an undisciplined mess of a team, coached by a moron who didn't even know the rules and let the game end without making a stink about the missed penalty.

It also didn't matter because the Bucs would have beaten whichever team won that game anyway. They peaked in the playoffs and won their 3 games by a combined score of 106-37.

FriarReb98: 2. Blaming Trey Junkin on that is tantamount to blaming Bill Buckner for the last twelve innings of failure by McNamara, that assclown Schiraldi and any number of other factors in 1986.

It's even worse than blaming Buckner. Buckner at least had played the season with the Sox and wasn't washed up quite yet. Junkin got called out of retirement at 41.

I was going to suggest "Miracle at the Meadowlands" (not the walk-off punt return, but the first one), but that was actually a bad handoff and not a bad snap.

/And a bad offensive coordinator
//He never worked for a football team again IIRC

Cool story bro!! Actually really - very well written and balanced. Didn't see the game and don't remember seeing the play - but now I wish I had.

Yeah it was the bad snap, not the fact that stupid jeremy shockey dropped a "lay-up" touchdown that would have sealed the game.

And someone should hire this guy - seems to be an upright guy - and how rare is it for someone to actually take accountability for themselves these days.

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about the Romo/Seattle game. Seems like a thousand years ago.

People really blame him for this loss?

The non-pass interference call might be the worst reffing mistake in the history of the NFL.

/Rivers' incomplete pass by Hochuli was bad too, but I don't think it was the playoffs
//Tuck Rule was awful, but it was in the rule books - right call, dumb rule, and I'm a Raiders fan
///Immaculate Reception is still too tough to tell to this day
////No holding call on the helmet catch? Pretty bad too, but not as obvious

Out of slashies....any others? Steelers-Seahawks comes to mind.

FriarReb98: BiffDangler: What is the point of such an article without an accompanying video.

Because Shoepisser called the game.

I just watched the video. That's it? The Worst Snap Ever was about a foot to the left? I just assumed it went over his head or bounced sideways or something. He shouldn't feel bad about that. Really, yeah it sucks, but if everyone else did their jobs that day it wouldn't have mattered.

homarjr: Out of slashies....any others? Steelers-Seahawks comes to mind.

hell, we had two pretty awful ones just this past Sunday, but they ultimately didn't cost the Giants the game.

/though the score would've been in the neighborhood of (40+)-6 instead of 37-20

tallguywithglasseson: Hm. Don't remember that game. Or said "infamous" snap.

It's not just famous. It's INfamous.

Yep.

That chart makes my day every time I see it.

JerseyTim: LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA LA I REMEMBER NO SUCH INCIDENT LA LA LA LA

/except for the pass interference that wasn't called which would have resulted in a replay of the down FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Wrongs will be righted this Sunday!

downstairs: bgddy24601: and then even louder that it was pass interference

I thought they DID call pass interference, but the Giants committed an off-setting penalty?

At least that's what I hear in the video posted above (the audio is horrible, maybe I'm missing something?)

If that was the case, there would've been a re-kick.

Or wait, if the time is 00:00 and there are offsetting penalties, is there another down? I don't know the rules....

The game cannot end if there's a defensive or offsetting penalties because it's as if the previous play did not happen. There would have been an untimed down from the previous spot, Matt Bryant would have shanked the kick 30 feet left, and the 49ers still would have won.

homarjr: Or wait, if the time is 00:00 and there are offsetting penalties, is there another down? I don't know the rules....

Yes. If offsetting penalties or a defensive penalty occurs on the final play the offense is allowed to run another play.

I_Am_Weasel: They had a 24 point lead yet it's a bad snap that cost them the game!?

Really!?

This stinks of the idiots that still blame Bartman for the Cubs meltdown on the field.
