I wish they had gone for the TD at the end of OT, but it was almost like they wanted to see if he could be salvaged.
I think that's spot on. With OT ending, we were assured of keeping GB from winning (so we were going to stay even with them in the division race) so Carlson was allowed to either keep himself alive (he would have come out of the game with an emotional boost if he kicked the game-winning FG) or to pound the final nail in his own coffin. Turns out he hit that nail better than any of his kicks.

Does Carlson push Walsh a bit out of our collective Viking memory now, or will we forget the "Carlson Era" too quickly?

Pleasantly surprised with this move. Zero downside. I'm just a little shocked they moved so quickly, but he missed 3 FGs.....all brutal. Carlson even mentions that last FG he was suffering a lack of confidence. Tough words but honest ones. Can't have that kind of liability at that position.

Salary cap casualty in Dallas, turned down 4 other offers until Minnesota came calling. The guy has already made $13 million in his career, could afford to be picky. 30 years old, lots of years left in him. Keeps himself in great shape.

Late cap casualty from what I understand.  Sounds like he was highly sought after, but chose to wait for the right opportunity.
