The Miracle on Occidental Street

That's what I was gonna say, except is Occidental Ave.

 

[BirdsCommaAngry]

We shouldn't shy away from the word miracle because of the Music City Miracle. That's like seeing the best movie you've ever seen, calling it the best, then seeing a movie that's even better, and not wanting to call this new movie the best because of doing that last time. Tennessee had a moment that seemed so bleak that when it went their way, it was like a miracle. We had at least half a dozen of these moments!

If this were a poll, Rain City Miracle would get my vote. Nevertheless, since we're still brainstorming:

"A Bird out of Hand"
"One Percent"
"Brutality of Duality"
"Breaking Bad Play"
"Wisconsin's Woe"

I like just "The Comeback"

I also like "The Impossible Journey"

Maybe even "Wilson's Odyssey"

 

[Hawkscanner]

You guys don't think much of "The Improbabowl"?

Personally, I think Kamcussinator hit the nail right on the head. It's short, concise, and captures in one word the essence of that game.

 

[Chukarhawk]

really like discount double choke.

 

[JustinCredible]

Speechless in Seattle

 

[scutterhawk]

Matchless In Seattle.
The Shock Bowl.

 

[MagHawk]

I like just "The Comeback"

Yep - perfect!

 

[fan4life]

Speechless in Seattle.

Speechless in Seattle

Minneapolis sports media is coining the game as this. Nice ring to it......

They are also loving it as they clearly hate the Green Bay Peckers.

PS......can't stop looking at your avatar....

 

[Maulbert]

I would go really simple. Last year it was "the tip". This year I'd go with "the Comeback".

I was about to post this exact reply. Lots of creative ideas, but this should be known simply as "The Comeback", and all Hawks fans will know the reference.

Already deservedly exists. Buffalo beat Houston 41-38 in OT after trailing 35-3 in the 3rd.

Dang. That's pretty good. Still like "The Kearse Of Death".

The Finish

 

[Our Man in Chicago]

I've always disliked the "_____less In Seattle" puns. Honestly: don't Seattleites get annoyed with constant reference to a sappy romance from 20 years ago? It's right up there with the coffee/rain/Pike Place Fish Toss boilerplate.

 

[Our Man in Chicago]

The Finish

Not bad. I like that.

 

[Sac]

The Kearse at the Clink.

 

[Hawkscanner]

Got it -- what about "The Im-possi-Bowl"?

What do you guys think?

 

[HunnyBadger]

I would go with "The Toilet Bowl"

One agonizing poop, but sure feels great at the end.

 

[NorCalHawk12]

It shouldn't be anything that references any one or two players. That would take away from all the other guys who contributed. I liked "The Comeback" but, as someone pointed out, it's been done.
My problem now is, there's so many good ones, I can't decide between them.
Nor am I creative enough to come up with one of my own.

I'll get back to you.....

Man, I can't think of a better name than "The Im-possi-Bowl".

THAT to me just encapsulates everything. That may not end up becoming the widely accepted nickname ... but in my mind, that's the name of this game.

Any thoughts on that name?
