I didn’t want to post the above picture. But I felt obliged once my revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. When I first saw the below picture of Novak, I knew it looked familiar.
Couldn’t figure out why. So I thought… and thought…and thought… and I remembered.
2005. Jets. Chargers. Playoffs. Finkle. Ugh.
Eerily similar, eh? I’m not trying to compare that 2005 playoff loss to this 2011 regular season loss. Different distances, different kickers, different circumstances, different teams…but, same result. I genuinely hate when kickers miss…not just because it sucks for their team, but because it sucks for them.
