Jetscode1 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The first one to come to mind... Sam Wyche September 20, 1987. The Bengals led by 26-20 with six seconds remaining. Wyche called for a sweep on fourth down, James Brooks was tackled, and there were two seconds remaining. Joe Montana then tossed a 25-yard scoring pass to Jerry Rice to win the game.

Thor99 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 How about taking a knee in a playoff game to make the winning field goal 3 yards longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Walton's QB draw with O'Brien in the 1986 playoffs against the Browns. O'Brien gets tackled behind the line of scrimmage and it stops the clock. Jets punt, Browns get the ball move down the field in two plays, get the field goal to send the game to OT.

Parcells did that with Neil O'Donnell against the Bengals, IIRC. Edit: Actually, he had O'Donnell throw the ball out of the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 How about in Detroit in 1997, Parcells decides Leon Johnson on a halfback option pass is a better option, and he throws a pick and we do not make the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't believe the playcall, or that the refs called that an interception. The defender was laying on his back, clearly out of bounds and bobbling the ball.

The Vinny Play in 1998 (I remember watching it in the Bahamas in the airport coming home) was the following year against Seattle, costing Erickson his job, right? I think that's right.
