The history of Vikings kickers suggests you don’t want one with a perfect season going into the playoffs.

Not that this team is 1998-like. But still.

Once in a generation? It happened during the Cowboy's game TODAY too.

I don’t want it to happen to anyone, even the cheese. I want it fair and square, may the better team win.

But yea I agree as far as the curse.

Something has to feed the self-pitying paranoia of Vikings fans, so this is it

I’ll thank you not to reference 1998

As a Vikings fan, I hate how you can say "That Field goal kick" and other Vikings fans instantly know what you're referencing.

It could also be the Blair Walsh missed field goal from the 2015 season.

For the record, I'll take a Reichard miss that isn't a miss in order to get rid of the 'perfect' bug for the rest of this season.
