Change One Play In History

Whatever play would have caused the 72 Dolphins to lose a game.

If, I could change one play...

 

Packers:

Morgan returns the interception AND trucks Russell Wilson on his way to a 67 yard pick 6. Ball game. 

 

Non Packers:

Brett Favre throws at TD to Percy Harvin to beat New Orleans and go to the Super Bowl only Brett is running around like a little kid and doesn't see the flag for 12 men on the field. 

 

Next play is the backbreaker. 

$0 much hate

MARRY ME!

Cletidus Hunt never played in a Superbowl.  I think you meant the injury to Gabe Wilkins that lead to Darius Holland's horrendous play in Superbowl XXXII.

yep Superbowl XXXII: the hit on Elway to make him helicopter also makes him fumble, The Pack scoops it up and runs back for a TD.

1. Darren Sharper not screwing up the 4th & 26 play.

 

2. AJ Hawk and the Special Teams not screwing up on the fake FG and Seattle never gets back in to the game.  

Game 6 of the MLB Division Series, and Moises Alou actually catches the foul ball instead of Bartman.  

Good call.  I was in the same boat, with absolutely no rooting interest.  But this would have been just amazing.  

 

I would throw in the Tuck Rule play.  That play easily could have changed the history for 5 franchises.

 

Patriots:  They lose that game and maybe Bledsoe gets his job back and Brady doesn't ever get a shot to be the Patriots QB.  Or his time is delayed, and he misses out on the prime of that team in 2003-2004.  

Raiders:  Maybe the Raiders win the Super Bowl and Gruden stays in Oakland.  

Bucs: They never get Gruden and either keep Dungy, or hire a lesser coach leading to no Super Bowl.  

Colts: They never get Dungy so stick with Mora or hire a lesser coach, so Manning never gets his Super Bowl.  

Packers: Since the Raiders keep Gruden, maybe Woodson stays and never comes to Green Bay to lead them to a Super Bowl.  

 

The fall out of that play being called a fumble isn't that far reaching.  

I screwed the pooch on Hunt/Wilkins/Holland.  Sigh.

Aaron Harrison misses the three pointer last year

Two that stand out to me since I was rooting for the other (losing) team

Kirby Puckett fan/blower induced HR in game 6 of the series v the Braves and the infamous "and we'll see you tomorrow night"

Kirk Gibson one armed HR off (I think) the greatest closer in our era.  Yet another "I don't believe what I just saw" moment

More local rube flavor-

Big Dog missing that goddman 5 foot bunny vs Philly in game 6 of the ECF.

Can't forget about the weak assed Fail Mary - UW vs Michigan State (****ing Bielema)

Nothing though tops the Bostick **** up.  The play that will live in infamy

Was Gibson hitting against Mariano?

No. Dennis Eckersley.

TOG throws to anyone but Driver in the NFC Championship vs. Giants.  Packers win that game and then the Super Bowl and TOG retires for good and never plays for Jets or Vikings.  

 

Bostick does his job.

 

Trae Jackson makes the shot last year to beat Kentucky. 

Either Rodgers hits the WR on the opening play of OT against the Cardinals, or the facemask on the last play is called.

The Fail Mary is correctly called, and we don't have to go through 2012 and 2013 hearing about how allegedly invincible Seattle is at home.

Non-Packers:

Torsten Frings is red-carded for an obvious hand ball in the box in the 2002 World Cup QF.  The US wins that match on penalty shots and beats South Korea in the semis

Arjen Robben hits the penalty in extra time of the final in the 2012 CL.  The Russian Mafia Team doesn't get its CL title.

Elena Dementieva's passing shot up match point in the 2009 Wimbledon SF is successful, and she goes on to win the title and get a grand slam.

Darren Sharper deflects "The Catch II" and the Packers defeat the Broncos in a SB rematch, sending Reggie out with a SB trophy the way it should have been.

Everyone stays out of it and let's Nolan Ryan beat the ever living **** out of Robyn Ventura. 

 

The play where AJ Pierzynski and Yadier Molina didn't collide and end the others career. Even better if Kent Hrbek was somehow involved in that. Kent Hrbek was a true asshat. 

 

Gary Anderson makes the FG. 5 Super Bowl losses sounds better than 4. 

 

 

Yup.

**** this thread.  I'm still not over that ****ing game.

  I finally sat down and watched the first half  last night...

 

 

 

Watching that first half again was actually pretty enjoyable for me but I haven't been able to watch the 2nd yet, might not ever be able to watch it.   That 2nd half contains at least 4 plays that I wish I could change.

 

1 - Bostick G0D D@MIT

2 - Hawk\Slocum fake FG

3 - HCD on the 2 point

4 - MB keeps running and JP does some blocking

 

If I could change just one of those plays, I would be watching that 2nd half over and over again until the end of my time on Earth.

1. Bartman game. We'd finally hear the end of the goat. 

2. Bo hurting hip never happens 

3. Pete Rose doesn't end Fosse's career

4. Hrbek's wrestling move is rightfully called

5. Paul George's and the kid from Louisville's legs don't snap, because dang those were sickening to see. 

 

Packers

1. TOG throws that last pass toward anyone but Driver since everyone else was open

2. Bostick's bungle

3. On TOG's intercepted pass across the middle, the NO player runs it in for a TD. heh-heh.

4. Collins never makes that tackle and a series of other non-stuff: Sharpe never gets hurt, Coffman never gets in that pool, Lewis, Brooks, etc., all never happen.

5. The SF fumble is rightfully called

Cubs fans?  On my Packer board?  

 

guh.  

Nah, CA. Just want to put the Cubbies fans out of their misery so we don't have to hear about it any more.  

You bet CA, some of us had to pick a winner, since the Cubs couldn't do it, so we went with the Packers.  

Who's the a-hole who says Bart fumbles at the goal line? Effin Cowboys fans.

Just remind yourself of what Red Sox fans have been like since 2004.

 

Now, multiply that by 1000000. 

 

Trust me, much easier to deal with Cub fans whining then hearing them gloat about winning.  

Knowing the Cubs and Chitcago, the Cubs would be a one-and-done blip vs. the Red Sox who have managed to stay good. I got no worries about the Cubs being a threat every year. Maddon was a good hire for them, but let's see if they have enough talent to prove him a miracle worker twice over. 

FTFY

 

I'm a cubs fan, and I don't think we would "gloat", but it would be like the Lions winning the SB.  There have been generations, that haven't even sniffed a WS or SB.
