"You have to figure with that missed extra point that this is Blair Walsh's last game with the Vikings," John Clayton tweeted immediately after the miss Sunday in Washington.

The ESPN senior writer was correct.

The Vikings released Walsh Tuesday after he missed three kicks and failed to execute a key kickoff the past two weeks. Walsh made just 12 of his 16 field-goal attempts and only 15 of his 19 extra-point tries this season.

Vikings fans have been frustrated with their kicker long before this season's problems and haven't been shy about sharing their opinions on social media. They didn't hold back, yet again, Tuesday after news broke Walsh had been waived.

Many of the digs allude to Walsh's botched field goal late in the fourth quarter of last season's playoff loss to Seattle. But not all the reaction was negative with some fans wishing the kicker good luck.
