So did having little "gimme" XPs mixed in provide some kind of periodic confidence booster for their psyches?

This is kind of funny...

youre giving them more time to line up / get their footing and timing...

let them THINK you're gonna ice them, then let 'em swing away...

I guess thats why I'm just a teacher

This game felt so much like the Vikes-Seahawks wildcard game in 2015. 2nd year QB so a conservative approach offensively. Away team takes a late lead in the game by 1 point. Home team marches down the field with their young QB and gets into chip shot fieldgoal range and misses it. 

43 yards is not 26 yards hardly a chip shot.

81-90 Degrees 26-30 yard FG  80% change

51-60 degrees 26-30 yard FG 70% chance

21-30 degrees 26-30 yard FG 50% chance

It was below zero!!!!
Laces out Finkle!!!!!

So if 30-50 = 20% less chance of making it
what would -0 be? 30% less
Leaving a 20% chance of making it? Plus the laces out, and top of ball pointing at the goal post.

He had to try and kick it were it met the ground, any higher it would have 
looked like an onside attempt.

I know BW was the easy scapegoat, AP fumble had nothing to do with putting them in that position
in the first place. Not to mention trying to be the hero and scrambling to the left hash,
when he was told to keep the play to the right. (the play right before the attempt)

Yep, Anderson's was by far the worst FG miss in Vikes history.
