Ever see a field goal attempt where the kicker didn't forgot to take the field? In a 1999 game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that's exactly what happened with Norm Johnson. A bizarre sequence of events, filled with poor coaching and poor management all the way around, led to the funniest field goal attempt in NFL history. This is a breakdown of that infamous play

Three Super Bowl winning coaches and not one of them told the kicker to get ready

I'd argue the funniest attempted (but missed) was Bears in 2005 vs the 49ers with 40+mph winds. Robbie Gould almost blew over before the kick, then the ball missed like a balloon losing air. It's freaking hilarious.

I nominate Michael Husted at the end of a 34-10 loss (w FG) to the Falcons in 1994 at the Georgia Dome. When Sam Wyche was asked about it in the postgame, he said we'll need the points for potential tiebreakers. Atlanta was 7-9, Tampa Bay was 6-10. Worse yet, the Bucs had the worst point differential in the NFC (-100, yes the 4-12 Rams (-79) and the 3-13 Redskins (-92) were better. Come to think of it they would have finished at -103 without it so maybe he was right sort of)

Here's something you didn't expect: I went to school with Norm Johnson. At UCLA. I was there from 1977-1981. And as you said, Johnson was in the NFL starting in 1982. I would watch him kick field goals on the UCLA practice field, and they would land on the top of Pauley Pavillion. A schoolmate told me, "Johnson's got the best leg in the country."

The 3rd down play in that situation should always be a go route or a corner route thrown to a spot at the back of the end zone. A timing play where the QB takes three (or five) steps and automatically throws right then to a particular location. Don't give him an option to do anything else. That being said, the kicker was in la la land...

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kOBmZ6eFqbXPlIk.html Closest analogue to the Norm Johnson situation I remember--however, it was 3rd down and Bengals K Doug Pelfrey alertly runs up to the center, calls for the ball, and spikes it. (By spiking the ball into the ground on his 1 career pass attempt, Pelfrey attained a passer rating of 39.6, which is better than many of the QB performances detailed on this KZfaq channel.)

To be fair.....WHY didn't the Special Teams Coordinator (John Harbaugh) make bloody sure his unit was lined up on the sideline ready to run on? Chances are high the kick would have been good had the kick not been rushed. Reid took the heat but, that was on the ST Coordinator....who gets paid a lot of money to coach that unit. The FIRST person that coach should have made certain was standing next to him was his Kicker. The HC has a LOT of things going on in his mind, and the last person he should have needed to worry about getting onto the field quickly, to kick a game winning FG....is the Kicker lol. Harbaugh choked that day, and I bet he and Reid had a lengthy discussion about that miscue, and his future with the Eagles if something else stupid took place lol.

@paulstephenduckworth2726 3 жыл бұрын

Ok like he said, this was Andy Reid 2 game as a head coach. The Eagles in 1998 was the worst team in NFL, and the got the 2nd pick in the Draft that year b/c the Cleveland Brown's re-entered league and McNabb was chosen. The Eagles was in translation, and Doug Pederson was only Brought in to get McNabb ready. Doug Pederson was a very bad QB. He was a back up, or a back up to The back up most of his career. So Andy needed time to bring a winner to Philly. (Side note: I am not knocking Doug Pederson a a coach, in fact Dougy won his first SB before Andy, and in fact the team he played on in this video) Also, Johnson the kicker, I put a blame on. In fact Johnson never made it though the season, bc David Akers beat him out. So Andy was bringing a winner to Philly. 2000 season on the 1 play of the game, the kick off, in big D the David Ackers onside kick and Eagles with Dice Staley big game, beat Dallas in Dallas and Andy and the Eagles were playoffs team. In fact they beat the same them you played. This video, Tampa Bay.

There are sooooo many awful decisions by Andy Reid. The only reason he started doing well was because the rest of the division....including the coaching was piss awful. No body did less with more......than this guy. Year after year trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. How about putting a career offensive line coach....and a great one at that......as a defensive coordinator. The only reason he won a damned super bowl is because they turned the league into arena football. A coach is not great when his own "tree" does better and wins Super Bowls before you do. In fact .....you don't get a damned tree until you DO win a SB. Consistently trying to run a precision offense with McNabb.......not a precision QB!
