what even beats victory by doink? victory by Hail Mary? the list has to be short to nonexistent
what even beats victory by doink? victory by Hail Mary? the list has to be short to nonexistent
In Theoretical Football Theory (TFT) I believe a pick six from a lineman would be the greatest possible victory theoretically
The Bears lost to the Eagles in 2108 when they missed a double-doink field goal... youtu.be/BICgLiBy46o?...
The Iron Bowl Kick Six is probably the greatest walk-off play in football history. 2015 Michigan State beating Michigan on a walk-off blocked punt is up there too.
To this day if you post “WOAH” in r/CFB you’ll get a comment chain with “he has trouble with the snap! And the ball is free!”
Defensive 2 point conversion would be good (any 2 point play really). That insane Hail Mary tip Washington had earlier this season probably one of the better Hail Marys.
Actually just once I'd like to see a game winning FG on a free kick.
See, I like football because you say 'victory by doink' and we all know what that means and no other sport legitimately has anything like it.
Not losing by doink, I can tell you that much.
They were so much more then that this year
If the Elias Sports Bureau isn't keeping stats on wins by doink, I mean what are they even doing?
Turnover to safety for a one point win maybe?
The Hail Mary is still the best thing that can happen in football, it's why I know Doug Flutie's name
Auburn says hi
It's the immaculate deflection I'd say.
Sack fumble recovery for the winning D to seal it is pretty elite
I'm a Jets fan. But now I'm a Commanders fan. Daniels is so clutch and so dynamic and just so much fun to watch.
Here’s a novel one: victory by blocked extra point and defensive conversion
Victory by returning missed FG 109 yards versus your rival.
Victory via trees falling in the woods with nary a soul within earshot to hear it.
Victory by ridiculous series of laterals is higher
Can I interest you in the entire sport of rugby?
"OH, the band is out on the FIELD!"
For your consideration I present the greatest roller coaster ever compacted in less than 10 game seconds. www.reddit.com/r/nfl/commen...

Ian Johnson (#41) proposes to his future wife minutes later, which elevates this further.
that was absolutely beautiful and in no way marred by how the interracial couple received death threats which forced them to hire security for their own wedding
Incredibly, the Commanders have done both this season so any of their fans can genuinely answer this question. My answer is: whichever one happens in the playoffs is the better ending!
Victory by butt fumble
I wouldn't say no to a blocked FG returned for 2 next week...
Part of it might be context, at the end of the Iron Bowl and all, but victory via Kick Six is still the most incredible one I've seen.
Blocked extra point ran back for game winning 2 point conversion
Victory by return of missed/blocked FG has got to be up there
Iron Bowl 2013, Auburn wins on the "Kick Six," IMHO still the strangest and most glorious unexpected win ever.
That was indeed the play I was thinking of
victory by YEET
Their new logo should be Doink the clown
We already had the hail mary
Win by double-doink going your way?
victory by doink (kick is good): incredible defeat by doink (kick is no good): dispiriting as a Bears fan let's just say it CAN get even worse
Victory by 2 point touchdown on a blocked kick would be fun
Victory by missed placekick TD return.
victory by safety seems to be the consensus and I had to look it up - this has happened only three times in NFL history, most recently in 2013, so it might top the list
The Play is its own category altogether
Go Bears!
As a Stanford alum: we shall not discuss The Play. Please, and thank you.
You think it's bad being an alum, I was *in* LSJUMB (not during The Play, to be clear)
by the time I was in the band it was made *very* clear that you are *not* to rush the field until explicitly told to do so, upon pain of death
sorry but my wife went to Cal, you’re on your own here
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pla...
That's a fairly entertainingly written Wikipedia article.
A couple of clicks and I find out there's a planned John Tuggle biopic! He was Cal's fullback, drafted last by the NY Giants. Wish my brother was still around to tell him. (Go Bears) (Fuck cancer).
Thank you!
Pick-6 is the most powerful play in the game. Victory by pick-6 would be off the charts for excitement. Although that doink win last night was hysterical.
🤣
We had a victory by a toe a while ago.
