Dan Bailey Should Have To Walk Home

I've never seen anything quite like this. I remember Gostkowski had a day earlier this year where he couldn't buy a make but even that didn't feel this bad. Maybe it's the fact that Bailey missed two extra points and a field goal last week before strutting into Tampa to completely boof FOUR missed kicks this afternoon. None have been particularly close. Not the extra point, not any of the field goals, this dude is so lost I'm surprised he walked back to the correct sideline after his most recent miss. 

This was very much a must win for the Vikings and Bailey decided, for everyone, that it would be better to go home early rather than waste everyone's time with a pesky playoff appearance. I genuinely don't know why he stopped walking where he did. Just keep on going, out the tunnel, out the stadium, in full pads, and just keep walking until your body lays you down to rest. Not die, that's extreme, but just stops you from walking somewhere in the metro Tampa Bay area until you wake up sometime tomorrow afternoon. That feels miles better than going back into that locker room and boarding the team plane, where heavy sack beatings are extremely likely to ensue.
