Blair Walsh's name didn't trend on Twitter after the Vikings kicker missed a 27-yard game-winning chip shot, but the aftermath of "Wide Left" carried a large part of the conversation on Sunday.

Shortly after the game was over, Walsh sat in his locker and answered every question from media members, according to FOX Sports 1's NFL insider Peter Schrager.

So, what did the mishmash of tweets look like after the kick on Sunday?

Blair Walsh took all the blame for missing the potential game-winning FG. Said Jeff Locke gave him a "fine" hold... https://t.co/bKnPvWZTWx

Blair Walsh was the only guy to score for #Vikings the entire game, but the only points people will remember? those that he missed #SEAvsMIN

The holder's inability to get ball turned cost the Vikings a chance to move on. #SEAvsMIN

The last time a kicker missed a FG w/i the 10 in the playoffs was L. Tynes in 2007 https://t.co/ZD7sktZij8 pic.twitter.com/Gbp2jDBbFe
