It just sticks in my craw - the 2011 Saints-9ers playoff game, where Al Smith hits Vern Davis for the deep pass and of course the TD that followed. That could have been another SB season for the Saints.

To continue on to the next week, have Kyle Williams get his f*****g knee out of the way of the ball

I'll take McMahon not getting seriously hurt by Charles Martin's cheap shot in '86.
I honestly think that's the only thing that kept that Bears team from winning back to back Super Bowls.
I also hope Charles Martin's own personal damnation has been having someone sneaking up behind him and slamming him into a bathtub full of AIDS tainted razors once an hour for all of eternity.

Oof... everything about that play is brutal if you're a Mets fan. Everytime I see that replay I think Zeile hits it out.

First base umpire Don Denkinger realizes Todd Worrell's foot is on first base with the ball in his glove and calls Jorge Orta out at first.

Da Coach undermining the team by inserting Flutie, and then the next year choosing the side of the "Spare Bears" are two decisions that kept the Bears from being the dominant franchise of the 80's.

And Curt Flood getting the right first step in 68
As for injury. Effing Brian Griese doesn't throw interception and TD gets hurt running down the tackle

Such a fine line between hero and goat. If Billups catches that ball - and he probably catches it 8 out of 10 times at least - then Montana's career is looked upon totally differently. What a bad bad pass that was by Montana. Totally forgot about that over the years.

Dyer should have been whistled down. Plain and simple.

in a meaningless week 17 game against the Colts, Rob Johnson throws an interception instead of a touchdown.
Doug Flutie doesn't get benched. The Music City Miracle doesn't happen, and neither does Dyson at the 1, avoiding untold heartbreak for fans everywhere.

Yzerman's winner in double OT of Game 7 in 1996. The Red Wings might very well have went on to win the game anyway, but at least it probably wouldn't been such an epic and historic shot that I still have to see every year when the NHL hypes up the awesomeness of the playoffs.

90/91 NFCC game vs NYG: roger craig does not fumble or the team has 11 instead of 10 players on the field for a fake punt.
11/12 NFCCC game vs NYG: many, but a couple of punt returns stand out.
12/13 SB vs Bal: several, but the last few plays of the 2nd to last 49ers drive near the goal line.
13 reg season game vs NOS: sack/fumble towards the end of the game
13/14 NFCC game vs Sea: many

If I was going to pick a real Marshall play from a game I'm going to say Tron Martinez doesn't fumble that ball against wvu a few years back.

Ray Allen misses that 3-pointer
Pedro Feliz dives after Johnny Damon tagging him out trying to steal 3rd base in game 4 of the 2009 WS recording the out and sending it tied in the bottom of the 9th. All Feliz had to do was dive, as he only had a foot or two on him to start. Series goes to 7 and Cliff Lee pitches another gem going 3-0 in the WS and 5-0 in the playoffs (granted this play doesn't guarantee a game 4 win, just seemed like the momentum shift in that series)
Jay Williams hits his FT (or Boozer makes the put-back)

And Tiger's shot on 15 at the Masters goes directly in the hole avoids the 5 stroke swing, ultimately going on to win the Masters

So many options...
- Dave Roberts gets caught stealing
- Bill Mueller grounds weakly
- Tony Clark's hit doesn't bounce into the stands
- Matsui's screaming liner with the bases loaded gets down a half-second earlier instead of being caught
- Torre takes out Tom Gordon before putting guys on 1st and 3rd with nobody out in the 8th
I'd also add one more non-Sox one, that Tony Womack's double goes foul in 2001 OR that Scott Brosius turns the double play on the previous play
If Marlon McCree just went to the ground against the Pats!
If Charles Smith would've gone up strong!
If John Starks' 3-pointer from the corner hadn't been blocked by Olajuwon!
I hate this thread...

Tom Niedenfuer's piped fastball to Jack Clark. For some reason that always stuck with me.

I say this in fun.
First bolded: No way. Dude was locked and loaded down to even his technique. Just an incredibly savvy mid-season pick up.
Second bolded: I don't know career numbers, but Billy Baseball had had success against Rivera in a big game that year. (The A-Rod fight game comeback)
Third bolded: Something was in the air on that one. Or, the low wall that has seemingly killed us for so many years comes back to bite the Yanks.
What was scarier is that Clark had the shot in Game Six to go yard against a hurting Foulke to win the ALCS. People forget that part of that game, though I'm sure you remember.
Anyway, if I have to change one play, I'm changing either the Seahawks pass this year or Grady Little slapping Pedro on the back in the 2003. Our bullpen was lights out in September that year, and Little was too mentally challenged to have figured it out.
Also, Claude Lemieux beating the Whalers in OT in Game Seven of the Adams Division finals in 1986. If the Whale wins, they probably win the Cup, and they're in Hartford forever.

I thought about this one, but I'll take the Super Bowl the following year and let Kaep hit Crabtree on 4th down.

Didnt he have some rare degenerative bone condition?
He would have been injured eventually

For me it would be a play in a game that meant nothing to me. It was the night I watched in horror, as umpire Jim Joyce blew a perfect game for Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galaragga. As a baseball guy that play really hurt. It would be great to fix that for both of the guys involved.

That would probably be #2 for me. That was awful.

Aaron Murray's tipped pass in the 2012 SECCG vs Alabama is correctly dropped by Chris Conley at the two yard line. Rather than the clock running down to zero it serendipitously stops with four seconds left. Georgia has one extra play and plows into the end zone to win the game to advance to the National Championship where they beat Notre Dame for the National Title.

Lewis Billups holds on to the easy interception and the Bengals win the Superbowl over Joe Montana.

The dislocated hip caused avascular necrosis and the eventual replacement of his hip - it wasn't a degenerative condition he had before the injury.

This one is easy for me. 1978 - Red Sox Yankees Playoff Game. Sox trailing 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th. Jerry Remy up with one out and Burleson at 1st. He hits a line drive bullet to right. It's about 5:00 in the evening and the setting sun is directly in Lou Pinella's eyes. He loses the ball completely and sticks his glove out in blind desperation. Miraculously the ball bounces on one hop right into his glove, and because he is playing so shallow he is able to hold Burleson to 2nd. Rice flies out to right for the 2nd out, and Yaz pops out to 3rd to end it.
If that ball gets by Pinella, and it's nothing short of a miracle that it didn't, it would have been a two run inside-the-park homerun in the bottom of the 9th to end what was already considered to be one of the greatest games in baseball history. And Remy would have scored. I talked to him years later and he was emphatic about it. He said he was hustling right out the box knowing full well about the horrible sun problem in right.
Just imagine the pandemonium that would have ensued at Fenway. The fans would have torn the place to pieces.

He moved like Barry Sanders and had fullback strength. I still have never seen anything like him. Unfortunately I will always wonder if he was a juicer because he was that much of a freak. Sorry Bo if you were not.
