MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Vikings’ loss to Seattle on Sunday was brutal, but the value of replaying (and dwelling on) the game’s final few seconds is questionable.
Simon Almaer, a skills coach at Premier Sport Psychology in Edina, says that it’s not healthy for fans to watch replay after replay of Blair Walsh’s missed field goal.
“It’s completely understandable to be upset, to be frustrated and maybe even momentarily angry,” he said. “At times, I think it can go beyond that.”
The extreme anger hurled at Walsh, he says, is an example of that.
