Minnesota Vikings @ Arizona Cardinals 2003 Josh McCown to Nate Poole game-winning touchdown

[jmau951]

Fuck I remember this game  ....gay ass force out rule....

[MRandomname100]

@NIntendoLover241

There used to be a force out rule where if a defender forced out the reciever midcatch he did not have to get the second foot down

[Benji12586]

Same Old Vikings

[mattgb77]

The Bears may have lost today, but i have to say.. Josh McCown did very good!

[Kikomonster33]

what brand of potato did u film this with?



[NIntendoLover241]

how can they rule this a TD? he clearly only had 1 foot in bounds

[MRandomname100]

@NIntendoLover241

there used to be a nfl rule where if a reciever was forced out by a defender he did not have to get the second foot in

[TheeBartSimpson]

Ok, Bears season has been our for us since Jay Cutler got hurt.

But maybe Josh McCown can make something happen on Sunday. Who knows.

[ceparker32]

I ve seen enough to realize Bears fans we're screwed

[joservintage]

@ceparker32 c'mon man!!! we can beat the pack!!!!

[Versuz54]

@joservintage we need to beat the pack and min and Lions need to lose to the Chargers and the Pack

[24Reference]

Josh McCown used to have speed. Now must QBs coming out of college are as fast as he was then.

[JoshBoschke]

Dear 2003 Cardinals, we love you.

Sincerely, Packers fans everywhere

[TheeBartSimpson]

@JoshBoschke

lmfao

[Kuzy34]

Only josh mccown video around. Also brings me back to the days of the force out rule. Almost as bs as the new kickoff rules

[bearsam23]

welcome to chicago josh mcown!

[Nikko4566]

count on the Vikings to let you down. lmao

[Waterlink]

"They don't have time to spike it." well no shit its fucking 4th down. it was going to be the last play anyways so I understand why they didnt rush it as fast as they could. Get everyone situated and ready and hike the ball. They did everything right there.

[greghmn]

since it was a force out, if that game were to take place today, minnesota would have won 17-12.

[eyesonme120]

I was at a Packer Bar in Denver, CO watching this game and the end was amazing....the bar went nuts!!!

[palmcroft6]

I was at this game (my dad is a vikings fan) and I'll never forget it. What an embarrasing way to go out. First of all, to start a season 6-0 and miss the playoffs, thats just mid boggling. Then to blow an 11 point lead in the final minutes against a terrible team that year. It was one of worst meltdowns in a game to cap a meltdown season . I feel for you Vikings fans.

[swoodard4]

I still can't believe the cardinals pulled this off. I'm a die-hard cheesehead and I remember the last ten minutes of this game like it was yesterday. Exhilarating. Go Pack Go!

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Only the Vikings could do it.

[Choppaaah]

force out rule was so stupid... glad that rule has been changed!!!

[disneydanny2]

i hope McCown can doo this with the 49ers.

[justtocomment42]

rejection of a high five ... 4:42

[MuvoTX]

Culpepper, Emmet... what year was this?

[BrandTanooki]

@MuvoTX It says the year in the title of the video..

[hippieslay1]

I remember this game, I was so upset!!!

[arizonacardinals94]

...and that's why the force out rule was removed...it was such a stupid rule

[AllPro777]

Sadly, this win didn't save Dave. He was fired shortly after.

[nolaart1]

Emmitt Smithh!!!

[cackums]

lol @ that take down Boldin gave Poole lol.

[KenFan4life]

meh, every nfc north defense in the early 2000's sucked (except the bucs & bears)

[HotSpur190]

@KenFan4life NFC Central*

[Moocow002]

When an awful team that has nothing to play for is down 17-6 with 2 minutes left in the game, and they are playing a team who has playoff aspirations on the line, you would think that the latter would finish the game and win. Well not when it's the Vikings!

[Yono84]

Denard Walker was soooo bad for the Vikings the 2nd half of the season..

[TheOldskool1970]

did jeff blake get benched during that season or did he get injured

[260kevinsutton]

minnesota sports sucks

[Nikko4566]

@260kevinsutton agreed!!!  Well said

[JoGra25]

probably best feeling ever with that moment. i couldn't believe it happened.

[ericisrad222]

Some people take sports too seriously. Case in point: this comments section.

[richig761]

That's just fucked up. I'll never forget how hard I laughed at the Vikes that day. Wow...

[260kevinsutton]

VIKINGS SUCKS BIG TIME 0-5 SUPERBOWL RINGS

1) Like brett favre interception against saint just throw a screen pass or take a knee and kick a 56 yard field goal.

2) 2003 retarded loss against a cardinals even know cardinal has a worst record season. They just lost WOW!!

3) biggest choke ever when the vikings were 15-1 and mistake is when gary anderson missed a field goal against a falcon.

4) 2000 the most worst lost ever against the giants 41-0 OMFG

I have more to vikiqueens fanbitches

[balla2384]

@260kevinsutton Vikings have only been in 4 Super Bowls smart guy. And Anderson missed a field goal "against a Falcon," "they just lost"?? That's not even coherent. As if Vikings fans didn't already know how disappointing their franchise has been, we have to read idiotic comments like these.

[260kevinsutton]

@balla2384 yeah vikings sucks ass

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@balla2384 It's the curse of Andvari. If they hadn't blown Ara Parseghian's cover, then the curse wouldn't be in effect.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@260kevinsutton The Herschel Walker trade, the Purple People Eaters being outscored 51-0 in the first half of their four losses (not 5), the Metrodome collapse...

[260kevinsutton]

@EricAKATheBelgianGuy That doesnt explain how the vikings lost all superbowls rings

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@260kevinsutton For me it's easy: all the other teams were better.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Nathan Poole has a touchdown!!

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

This would have been irrelevant if the Vikings had won just one more. Vikings fans can justify their anger anyway they want to, the fact is the Vikings choked after the 6-0 start.

[ishotu747]

no extra point attempt?

[lifewithoutcash]

6:15 stunned vikes fans in the crowd lol

[28Vikings28ALLDAY]

dumbest rule ever. he would of never got 2 feet in even if he forced him out! so BS!

[btez31]

How many chokes can one team have?? Stay tuned and watch the Minnesota Vikings to find out the answer!!

[icebergrightahead]

Another choke by the Vikings lol

[cripxset92]

this still brings chills down my spine

[JMjock23]

he was going out either way. no way it should have been a TD

[zula31]

good game, its when i truly knew we had something going on

talkarizonasportsdotcom

[thegambitking]

Of course, Tice had to go for it on fourth down from inside the 10 earlier in the game rather than kicking a field goal--too bad for the Vikes!

[blrasmu]

That was a painful day.

[mmeweb3411]

If that happened today the vikings woulda won

[jayNicks10]

God that was a STUPID STUPID rule. That was the first year they had that rule, a couple years later, they got rid of it.

[GOllumboy101]

@jayNicks10 No it was stupid that they got rid of it. How is it fair that if someone makes a great catch, then a corner-back or safety from the opposing team knocks them right out of bounds before they get 2 feet in? Sounds like bullshit to me. Idiot, now shut the fuck up while we hold our 4th Super Bowl (13th Title) over our heads while you guys still try to find your 1st. Sore loser!

[cesar1963able]

I am a Vking fan living in Texas, and was AT THAT game. Go to 6:12 and look at that Viking fan. That is NOT me, but that sums up 40 years of being a Viking fan. SKOL Vikes. SOME day...Maybe!!!

[ssom06]

Force out rule..what a joke. Once again my beloved vikes choke

[MCEProd22]

i dont know whats better the play or the imfamous radio call

[MrSlider09]

wow, what great production value. Off the television, i haven't seen that 1,000,000 times

[i317xCpTMoRGaN]

Ahhhhhh the old pushout rule. The good 'ol days.

[KarmaJolt]

Wow, I'm loving the fantasy leaders ticker.

[AndrewSa888]

ha ha classic Vikings choke. Start 6-0, lose to every 4-12 team, lose this one and miss the playoffs. Vikings Suck. Packers Rule.

[cesar1963able]

@AndrewSa888 Ha ha. You never played for either team, so YOU suck.

[AndrewSa888]

@cesar1963able And you did idiot? You Suck.

[cesar1963able]

@cesar1963able No I did not. Your are correct. I suck as you so eloquently pointed out. When somebody goes to a website and screams out you suck, they suck, etc. then I think you have problems. Sports is a hobby. It is fun to watch. But to point at a fan and make middle school comments means, well...you're middle school. It is just a game, man. Get over yourself. These posts are meant for people to describe their experiences. But if you want to beat your chest, and act like a 12 year old. OK.

[MrVikes21]

Would have been a lot better if that last Cardinal touchdown came with the Vikings up 17-9 or 17-10

[Coolness5521]

I was at this game..it was my fist NFL game and a little bit of me died there....

[Juvy29]

Atleast we got to see a freakish catch by Moss in this game lol

[wilsie22]

Aaron Rodgers for MVP in 2010!

[wilsie22]

18 years old, I remember this like it was yesterday. Had the Packer game on once to see Ahman Green galloping to a Touchdown against Denver. Didn't matter because the Cardinals did NOTHING that whole first half. It's still beyond me how the heck these guys beat the Vikings. I think Emmitt Smith scored the Touchdown before the onside kick if I'm not mistaken. Yet another miracle Packers season destined to win a Super Bowl (see: 2007) that came to an end by an... Interception...

[ericisrad222]

@wilsie22 Actually that was the 4th and 26 year. More like the defense.

[MattfromAZ]

this play still gives me the chills

[trejo619]

vikings, chicago cubs, and cleveland cavaliers, born to lose

[ExpertDude13]

Josh McCown?  Nate Poole? This must be a fucking Pop Warner team. Where was your defense Minnesota?

[ericisrad222]

@ExpertDude13 Our defense in the early 2000s was TERRIBLE. We had Antoine Winfield and Kevin Williams. That's about it.

[VikeFan284296]

@ericisrad222 we didnt even have winfield til 2004

[AndrewSa888]

PACKERS RULE!!!!!! VIKINGS & BEARS SUCK!!!!!!!!

[DanSaw26]

You non viking fans sure are showing a lot of class on this video. Not like your team did anything that year. It was a major fluke that the packers even made the playoffs.

[ThePopeDrums]

every1 in the rule commitee <3 the ****in Vikes everytime they lose they HAVE to make a rule change but the Vikes still lose with the NFL people pn their side lol just proves how much the Vikes suck

Go Packers

[tylerdurden869]

This is such a bogus "TD". Today it wouldnt stand. Because there cant be a forceout. Cardinals should have never won this game!

[Hikash]

@tylerdurden869 Just because the rules have changed today, what happened back then doesn't count?

[jeffy287]

@tylerdurden869 But they did, so FUCK YOU!

[NebraskaFan77]

Was that Chris Myers on the call?

[matt4787]

Man, Denard Walker was such a great pickup that year for the Vikings secondary. Sigh..

[jirehop908]

If I'm not mistaken, had the Vikings won, they would have won the tiebreaker over GB by way of better conference record.

[sarnow76]

@jirehop908 That's correct. The Packers won the division with the Vikings losing this game.

[baronskia]

now the push out rule doesnt exist. the vikings get fucked again. more proof the nfl is fixed. also 2001 tuck rule new england vs oakland, seatlle got screwed vs pitt in 2006. and poole pushed off winfield (#26) offensive pass interference on the final play.

[jdlund]

How is that proof that the NFL is "fixed?" That makes no sense. The push out rule was in the rule books. It is clear that the rule applied in this instance. Sure now this play wouldn't be a catch, but it was then. I am going to go on a limb and say that it is retarded to suggest that the NFL briefly had the push out rule just so the 3-12 Arizona Cardinals would be able to make a last second TD and keep the 9-6 Vikings out of the playoffs.

Tuck rule game was BS but that's another story.

[baronskia]

whatever u say dude

[baronskia]

now the nfl is gonna change the overtime rules because of the nfc title game ot where the vikings got screwed again. now deny that too

[baronskia]

hmmmmmmmm

[Billyostermeyer]

I remember watching this game . . .

[XProduktionsX]

good they took out that forceout rule..

[smbrulez]

its a good idea though but impossible to get it right all the time

[grimmviral]

LALAKERS8 it is people like you that give us Viking fans a bad name.

[dele3344]

6:53

lol

[dolphinsneu]

I'm a Dolphins fan so I can feel the Vikings pain.

[ThaFlameofATown]

That's why they play the games.

[LALAKERS8]

vikings started 6 and 0 fuck me

[NMguy70]

Who was the head coach of the Cardinals that year?

[ranskal]

Dave McGinnis

[RH2332]

that was shit

[pjam07pjam]

yes!!! ima die hard packers fan and this was magical

[mrwoodsuploader]

The 2009 Broncos are now the next 6-0 team to miss the playoffs.

[HereComesTheChicken]

good game.

[AZspaceGUY]

I remember the game was blacked out (like always), listening on the radio. It seemed like forever when they reviewed the play... Days later on a cruise, there was a Packers fan that came up to me(in Cards gear) and thanked me. He was now a Cards fan. LOL Funny thing is, the Cards beat the Packers earlier that season to put them in that situation!

[GB4ManU7fan]

I love Nate Poole.

[McKnoot]

I remember watching this and crying after we lost, I was so pissed. And for all you Packers fans, shut the fuck up, we beat your ass both times this year. So have fun winning the North division you fucking bulldikers.

[STEAMBOLT]

all that aggression over nothing, what the fuck is the matter with you?

[McKnoot]

Because I love your mother.

[Blackhawk5656]

@McKnoot

you cried lmao fuckin baby

[AndrewSa888]

@McKnoot SHUT YOUR MOUTH! VIKINGS SUCK!!!!!!! PACKERS RULE!!!!!!!! VIKINGS SUCK!!!!!!!

[baronskia]

the vikings and favre destroyed the buttpackers this year twice. we own u deal with it, remember 2004 playoffs that was kind neat huh?

[AndrewSa888]

Vikings suck simple is that. You guys might have beat us twice. But you lost the championship game because Fart threw another pick to add to his record. So HA!

[halomontage]

but they made it to the championship round.. how do you call that a bad team lol?

[AndrewSa888]

@McKnoot Ohh and one more thing, THE VIKINGS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LALAKERS8]

@McKnoot hahah ur the man im a vikings fan too the packers got shitted on twice this yr thanks for favre u fuckin pussies

[kciNgj85]

Really? Well get use to Tarvaris Jackson again faggot. There goes your 'divisional title run'

[LALAKERS8]

@kciNgj85 ill stick my dick down ur throat u lil cocklover

[kciNgj85]

@LALAKERS8 HAHAHAHAHAHAH.. comments like that just show people how little your IQ is.

[janitorsdisease]

a classic example of the way the vikings choke

[beefsteakpotato]

one of the best moments ever. Vikes doing what they do best, and thats choke

[takirokyouske]

and this is why as a packers fan i will always root for the cardinals(except when they play us)

[sarnow76]

"Who is the color commentator for Fox? I know Chris Myers was PBP but who did color?

[2SANFRANCISCO]

Vikings choke.............again.

[BleachBlack8811]

One of the best plays ever, lol. Packers should have won it all that year, but, then came dreaded 4th and 26. Depressing. I dunno which was worse, that loss, or the loss to the Giants in the 2007 NFC Title game.

[sarnow76]

They both sucked donkey balls but that loss to the Giants still hurts to this day. I almost got thrown out of a sports bar for getting into it with a bunch of Giants fans. I didn't watch ESPN for a good week so I wouldn't have to see any Giants highlights/interviews. God that game hurt bad.

[Slayallica84]

I had nightmares for months after that catch...goddamn it haha

[joker12341]

Qwned.

[PCCphoenix]

Add to that, the booth threw a challenge flag but the call was upheld.

[ybiru2009]

i feel more sorry for cards fans cause they missed out on a chance to get eli manning or philip rivers. vikes goin all the way this year

[furry115]

Well, they got Lary Fitzgerald so I think the Cardinals turned out just fine.

[IronMaidenDoD]

Lol. Id rather have Larry Fitzgerald than Philip Rivers or Eli Manning.

[systemcky]

Yea and how many super bowls have they been to? 1! kurt is been to 3!

[nvrlose37]

and they could have picked philip rivers if they wanted to since they were the third pick that year

[IronMaidenDoD]

I think we picked Anquan Boldin instead. Id rather have him than Philip Rivers.

[ckeltuboff]

nah, boldin was a steal with the 61st pick in 2003

[pujols37105]

Emmit Smith? True Cardinal at heart!

[mrbunsen]

Wow... nice draw call AZ to keep the clock running! Idiots.

[IronMaidenDoD]

Like it matters anyway. The Cardinals won. Idiot.

[heksolson]

I just have to say it was such a great win for our RED TEAM!!! GO CARDINALS!!

[RongSoulja1992]

half of the stadium filled with Viking fans?? LMFAO!!!!! Arizona does NOT deserve an nfl franchise there all a bunch of bandwagon fucks

[IronMaidenDoD]

You dont even deserve to live with a stupid ass mispelled screen name like that.

[Firefox5498]

That's a really tough way to lose a division...........on a judgment call of whether or not the reciever "could" have gotten both feet down, and I'm not so sure he could have gotten that other foot down. That's a really rough call. I think you have to be 100% sure that both feet would've been down, and I don't think that's the case here.

Of course, today, they have done away with the force out rule altogether.

[forman208]

That's gotta be the worst way to end a regular season in the history of the NFL

[vancouvercanucksuck]

this day blew haha

[jondough83]

Oh them poor viking fans looked stunned, what a terrible moment I remeber watching that game.

[DaGameGuy]

Wait a min the Vikings are 6-0 now. Could that mean.......

[nmantor]

yep lol

[funnyjunk223]

LOST AGAINST THA STEELERS!

[Urbz1988]

the vikings deserve a play'em off keyboard cat for not stoping the cardinals from scoring lmfao.

[lebbeus]

wait he only got one foot inbound!!!

[twindadplus2]

It was ruled that he was pushed out of bounds.

[TheGame1605]

amazing!

[ILBaller20]

I love Josh McCown lol

[lhscf1]

I was at Lambeau and we heard that the Cardinals were losing, and the Pack were up big, so we decided to leave early. We get out to the packing lot, and all of a sudden the crowd stats going crazy, we were in the parking lot at this point. All of a sudden a couple of people are running through the parking lot jumping up and down screaming with pure joy. Me and my dad look at each other like, no way. WE get to the car, and hear about how the vikings lost, best day of my life!

[mizeryluvkompany]

cards came up big here, but didt mean shit except the vikings are out of the playoffs, we werent goin anyway, but a hell of a way 2 end our season and theres go cards

[cripxset92]

i remember watching this game the last 2 minutes were just insane..this is one of the most memorable games ive ever seen

[TLSm00ve]

I remember blowin my load when i saw this. Anquan boldin best receiver and best teammate raper in the league

[MrCaptainJeff]

This is what happens when refs are paid by the coaches. What a shitty call, Vikes should of won the game.

[mattringo66]

After a day like yesterday in GB, this clip always makes me feel a little better.

[GreenHerbTube]

@mattringo66 Favre had it in for the Packers...nuff said. Go GRAHAM HARELL. (Rdgers aint lookin too bad at least).

[jacktheattack777]

That was one of the best games I've ever seen. The Viking suck balls and they helped give the Green Bay Packers the division and a playoff berth. So thank you Minnesota for making my year in 2003.

[vfgjhj]

This was embarrassing and completely unbearable, the Vikings were like 6-0 to begin this season and faultered and imploded down the stretch. Randy Moss WAS the team.
