The Double Doink actually deserves a deep rewind. We're sorry.

You know, Chicago sure has a lot going for it. One fantastic city! Great people, great food, what an amazing place. All that wind! Sure can't beat it.
Anyway, the Double Doink became a sensation for all the wrong reasons. It's tragic. It's heartbreaking. It's cruel to a fanbase that had so much reason to be excited. Everything that has followed since the moment the ball was snapped has completely overshadowed the optimism that existed in the moment. That team was special, and that's why what came next hurt as bad as it did. Enjoy!

I am the hiring manager for our Mascot talent over at the Seattle Kraken and I have to say I would fire this mascot. Mascots have to be the ultimate beacon of positivity in a stadium during a moment like this. Anyone in my position would have the clear expectations that if the kick didn't go in the mascot should run to the kicker, give him a hug and tell him "you'll get it next time". Then after that I would expect the mascot to run to the head coach and yell "LET'S GO!" and follow it up by running up and down the stairs of the stadium at a full sprint for the remainder of the game.

He has exactly one job, and it's to kick the ball far and accurately. It's the only thing he does and he's the only one who can do it!" "But what about that other guy? He kicks it too."

Something that got left out (albeit not very important but memorable for me) is that he kicked the 43 yarder two times, the first he made but got iced. The stadium was too loud for me to hear the bang, I just saw the ball not pass the uprights. We watched it the broadcast call over and over on the train home trying to understand what we had just seen. Looking back on it now, I am so happy we went to that game.

[@rupertpupkin2660]

This was definitely Philadelphias revenge considering what happened at The Fog Bowl. This definitely goes down as a top 10-15 moment of all time in eagles sports history. #gobirds

An entire season in which my Bears weren't a complete joke of a team... ugh this one hurts my soul Will 😥

[@ItBeHurka]

As an Eagles fan, this is one of my favorite Rewinder episodes to date. It should also be known as the game that broke Matt Nagy. He spent the entire off season (and some of training camp) looking for a new kicker.

[@Limegreenedragon]

Who could blame him?

[@0dirty]

he also made them watch the kick after each practice during camp. That should have been a warning flag

[@Shakiahjprod]

@@0dirty Woah really? I never heard of that

[@mrroams5812]

[@kidsavner2627]

I have never had one of my favorite teams be the subject of a rewind. As a bears fan this one hurt so much. Originally I thought the kick went in and was going nuts only to see the replay and the ball bounce out

[@metman5473]

"Chicago worked their way into a descent". 2012: 10-6 record that gets a team into the playoffs 90% of the time and somehow got lovie smith fired. I hate that i love this team.

[@UnknownRaven0]

Could become a packers fan at least u would have something to root for

[@FilmPassionprod]

They put Lovie in such a position of high expectations only because he made it to the Super Bowl. They expected him to make it back and win but given the loss to the Packers in 2010 of course they would fire him

[@kristinpie]

@@FilmPassionprod He deserved to be fired for that postseason. Two tries to knock out Rodgers, failed both times, and Rodgers has never been back. There's a world where Rodgers has 0 titles right now, and we don't live in it because of Lovie Smith and Jay Cutler.

[@Leoart-ii7ew]

I'm a Vikings fan and I remember watching the game in a basement at a party, a little outside of Chicago and I was saying "imagine he hit the post again" and everyone was for sure he was going to make it, man I remember holding back my laughter it was so hard 🤣🤣

[@starkravinglad8099]

Skol

[@Pika250]

The initial attempt would've been good, but phi still had a timeout to ice him, and the retry was the double doink. Had the retry been good, maybe chi could've won the sb? Trubisky could've been right up there with his draft classmates, but instead he's in buffalo as a serviceable backup to josh allen

[@kristinpie]

I don't think Chicago ever really had a shot to win it all that year. Having to get through Brees, Brady, and the LA refs most likely would have been way too much for an average and inconsistent Trubisky, a poor coach like Nagy, and kicker who very obviously could not be counted on in pressure situations. After missing a 50 yard field goal in Denver during the preseason and with several doinks already under his belt, the Bears losing a game because of Parkey was inevitable.

[@Pika250]

@@kristinpie More like that, really. If they don't win the sb, at least they do play the role of gatekeepers.

[@jordandr.j4789]

I remember watching Parkey against I think it was the Lions, and Parkey missed like 3 kicks and I remember telling my dad he was gonna miss it, and he did

[@FiSTofSTEeL112]

I remember watching this game with my dad, neither of us were fans of either of the teams playing but when this kick missed he started laughing the most hearty laugh I've ever heard from him

[@Lone_Rocket]

Ahh, I remember it like it was yesterday. I was at a small party in friends basement. Everyone sat watching the television, holding thier breath as Cody Parkey lined up kick. We all thought the season was over, but simultaneously all wished for a miracle. It was so quiet you could hear a pun drop. Then the kick, then the time out. We all sigh at once and get ready for the real thing. This was it. The final nail in the coffin to the Eagles post suoer bowl season. The kick goes up and... Bounces twice and then out of the uprights. We all yelled so loud when that happened. Then they played the highlight reel of Parkeys missed kicks that season and we all laughed. That game was pretty boring in all honesty, but the end made all of it so worth it. Then the Eagles failed to show up in the second half against the saints the next week and got sent home. Ah, good times.

[@michaelkoznarsky7911]

Trayvon Hester was officially credited with a blocked kick - adding this to this excellent video would have made it even better. The one criticism is that in 2018 the team in Washington was still the called the Redskins, not the Football Team.

Without that defense getting all those turnovers and khalil mack's last truly all pro season... that team would've been sub .500 and Nagy would've been fired last year or the year before. That's all the rewind you really need on that one.

[@EmptyHand49]

[@keithdeal209]

As an Eagles fan this is a fond memory. I was working behind the bar and the packed house went bananas. One thing I always remember was that Trubisky made an absolutely incredible throw to Robinson to help set this FG attempt up.

[@Hummabubba]

All four games they lost were entirely winnable and were lost for the tiniest of reasons. This team realistically could've been 16-0. The loss that felt the most fair was a 1 yard short hail Mary to Kevin White of all people and even that was just 1 yard short. You can say I'm a biased Bears fan, but go watch the games if you don't believe me. I remember two bad penalties in particular losing us two games. What a crazy season that was. I was at the four uprights game. It was one of Trubisky's best games of his entire career. I distinctly remember watching this playoff game with my friends and dad. They all thought it was going in, but I immediately knew better. They even thought it went in and started celebrating for a second. My friend was a relatively newly minted Vikings fan but joined us anyways. He wound up so depressed, he fell asleep on the upstairs coach.

[@loganhembree9786]

I watched this live on a cruise ship with both bears and egles fans and it remains some of the best reaction to a sports moment ive ever seen

I also saw this on a cruise ship that went to the Bahamas. My dad, brother, and I were absolutely crushed and I remember this guy who had bet money on the Eagles was all smiles and cheering. I hate that man to this day.

[@philly_sports1558]

This Bears team deserves a Collapse video after this too. They looked like one of the best up-and-coming teams in the league, this happened, and BAM, absolutely nothing.

[@xcrnrkyle]

Nagy couldn't develop QBs. :(

[@kristinpie]

The Bears entire history since the 40s has been one "great" year followed by a "collapse". It's hard to pick just one when they're all basically the same, and 2018 looked more like an outlier than something that had been building for some years.

As a Chicago born Eagles fan living Schaumburg (suburb of chicago), I remember being at a bar my friend worked at and watching the game there, decked out in eagles gear among a sea of bears fans. Honestly I thought were gonna lose and then when he hit the upright and it fell to the cross bar, I couldn't believe my eyes. I laughed in amazement because I thought to myself "there's no way he missed that. No way." I was stoked but also terrified. I felt everyone's eyes on me and I thought for sure someone would stab me on my way to my car.

I remember this moment. My dad and I were watching on the sofa and knew this was going to be THE moment of the game. We both knew the doinks were real that season and had watched Cory make the exact kick moments before because the Eagles called a last second time out. We heard it and simultaneously cried out ‘No!’ Which had never been something we’d done before or since.

I've been a Bears fan since the 2012 season and in France. I picked them because I've been a fan of the Bulls. It was a great season, beyond what I could expect. But to be up at 1am when he missed this field goal was very heartbreaking. It was the same feeling as a few years ago when we lost the last game of the season against the Packers at home and it was 1am in my country. I couldn't express my anger and both nights were short and I couldn't sleep.
