The cold weather was the equalizer and the Hawks were LUCKY that the Vikings missed the gimme game winning field goal. No doubt in my mind the hawks would have rolled the Vikings in warmer weather, but that wasn't the case.
Why is it so hard for some Hawk fans to say the Hawks lucked out with this win? I don't recall this same arrogant attitude from Hawk fans when Romo dropped the snap on the game winning kick for the Cowpatties. I think we have some seriously spoiled rotten fans that will slink away as soon as the hawks get booted from the playoffs, which will be next weekend if the offense doesn't play 100x's better.
First, on the 06/07 Wild Card Game, no way should we grant Dallas an automatic stop if Romo doesn't fumble, and Gramatica makes the chippy. We still would've had 1:15 or so to get Josh Brown in position to win the game. So were we a little lucky in that game, but I see some Hawk fans wanting others to "admit" we had no business winning that game, or this one. And it's silly.
Were we really lucky Walsh missed? Yes. But why can't you admit that fans who disagree with your overall take of the game, actually have a point? That the Vikings were also pretty lucky they were even in a position to have Walsh decide the game, thanks to a garbage penalty against Chancellor? Without that controversial penalty, the game doesn't come down to the missed field goal.
