What the fuck has John Kasay ever done for us?

This game last night was lost because of piss poor run defense. Kasay didn't lose the game by any means. But he didn't win it, either, and sometimes that's a kicker's lone duty. I have no doubt he's won more games for us than he's lost. I'm not sure that's even up for discussion.

But last night he had a chance to win it, and he didn't. And now we're in a really precarious situation as a football team.

COME ON, PEOPLE!!!

Kasay was not to blame for this one! I was sitting in the stands and saw that a crosswind carried the ball just to the right. I had a good angle on it and from that distance - he had the yardage and it was a solid kick. Sometimes an act of weather is enough and Kasay is money. It was friggin' cold and WINDY in the stands.

We had other opportunities to win this game by the offense and defense. It shouldn't have come down to a freakin' kick!!! But if it had to, I am still 100% for Kasay. He did his job!!!

Stop acting like Kasay is the one at fault here. We had other opportunities and we could not for example STOP Ward from cruising for over 200 yards rushing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In '03 we had problems with kickoffs all year, it's not like it was a one time thing in the Super Bowl. Todd and Kasay both had some problems and Todd wanted more money for his shitty kickoffs so Kasay did it and it backfired. Did it help? No. But whoever had time and the ball last was going to win that game, it's that simple.

As for last night, did you hear the wind during the second coin toss, it was whipping. So in a perfect world out D hold the Giants and Carney tries the harder 50 yarder but that didn't happen did it. You may as well get over it because Kasay will be around for awhile.

It will never cease to amaze me how a kicker can miss his only try of the game with :09 seconds remaining to ice the most important game this franchise has played in the regular season and somehow, some way, he gets a free pass because he has performed well for us previously.

The FACT of the matter is that in the two most important kicks of his career, Kasay has failed. You can argue that this kick wasn't as important as the others but we shall see how the season plays out. If we win the NFCC then all of that is erased, but until then.... there you go.

John Kasay was asked to do one thing last night. One thing only. No kickoffs, no punts, nothing except extra points that a high schooler could pot. He didn't get it done.

For all the nut riders, get some perspective. Had he nailed that FG you'd be all over his nuts right now as "the most clutch kicker EVAR!", but since he missed you act like it was an impossible kick and nobody could have made it.

I also find it comical how people get the attitude that the notion is stupid to put a lot of the blame on Kasay for not doing his job and how that somehow makes you a bad Panther fan.... right on. If saying Kasay choked last night on that FG makes me a bad fan in the eyes of some then you need a reality check.

Last night was not even close to being the most important kick of his career. He has had other kicks even in the regular season that were far more important.

fuging idiots....yeah, Kasay went out there, and said to himself....."Yeah...watch me screw this one up...I"ll show'em.".

You damn people are something. It was A PLAY, as in ONE, quit with this idiotic bullshit.

If they hadn't rushed for over 300 yards, it would have not mattered at all, or if we could have had any resemblance to a pass defense, or blitz..... but yeah, let's blame the only original member left from the very beginning of this organization that still remains on our team. Find me a kicker in the history of the NFL, that this has never happened to. I dare ya.

Stupid bandwagon fuks.

It remains to be seen, but we've never had a kick that could have put us on home field for the duration of the playoffs. He may redeem himself in the playoffs this year, but that is the burden that now hangs over his head for having put us in this position. I hope he gets a chance to reconcile for that miss but if he doesn't then you can put our boys having to travel in the playoffs on his shoulders.

Yes, the run defense sucked. A lot of things sucked last night about that game.... but the fact is that Kasay had the game on his foot and fuged it up. Everybody that was gashed out there on defense had other plays they made earlier in the game that helped even the ledger for their contributions to the game but Kasay had one play and one absolute miss. The kicker has one job, and even less than one job here considering he doesn't even do kickoffs like most kickers. In fact, he's not even a kicker. He's a field goaler. He's a field goaler that missed his only field goal. What does that make him? Nothing at all. Yesterday, he was nothing at all for the Carolina Panthers.

He has been great this year, he has been great other years, but when you isolate his performance last night.... there was no performance. He blew it. Sorry nut riders.

You're either not someone that has watched Panther games before last night or you're a freaking idiot. That is unfortunately a fact.

I've never missed a Panther game. Not one ever. I did not use my season ticket once in franchise history. So you are wrong on that point. I may indeed be a freaking idiot. I've been called that before so who knows?

The FACTS are that Kasay missed the game winning field goal in regulation in St. Louis only to be bailed out in double OT by the infamous X Clown play. He missed an extra point in Chicago in the playoffs that left the Bears in a close game. The defense bailed him out there. The kick out of bounds in the Super Bowl and the miss last night both happened as well. There are four examples of Kasay mistakes in big games. Face it, he has not been a great "big game" kicker. I STILL love the guy. I think he is one of the true gentlemen of the game. I just have the ablility to separate my personal feelings about him from facts. I guess that makes me a freaking idiot.

      High look overview...

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
