what did welker do with dolphins........i wonder if they are still cheating but just not getting caught......

Their lack of SB appearances in 7 years cause all that to be thrown out the window

Anyone who blames Kasay is just looking for someone to blame and doesn't know football. Sure it was a mistake, but Brady would have got them into FG position regardless.

Anyone who blames Kasay for the Super Bowl loss doesn't know strategy. John Fox lost that game by going for TWO 2 POINT CONVERSIONS and failing to get either. That led to the Patriots going for a two point conversion later in the game that they never would have gone for if the Panthers had kicked the extra points. The Panthers were leading the Patriots 22-21 instead of 24-21 because of the blown 2pt conversions. The Patriots scored, went for two, got it, so now they were leading 29-22. The Panthers scored a TD, now the score was 29-29, then Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds.

Had the Panthers kicked the extra points like they should have MUCH EARLIER IN THE GAME (which is why it made no sense to go for two), if they'd have been ahead 24-21 before the Pats scored, it's unlikely that the Pats would've gone for two, because either way, the Panthers would've led them if they scored a TD and if the Pats got the ball back, the worse that could've happened was Overtime. Why would the Pats go for two if they were ahead 27-24 and risk being down 31-27 if they didn't get it and the Panthers scored a TD, so of course they'd have kicked the extra point.

So minus the blown 2-pt conversions, you'd have likely been looking at the Panthers leading 31-28 when Kasay kicked it out of bounds, so we'd have ended up with OT instead of a regulation loss.

Those two 2-point conversion are what really did the Panthers in, in that game. Who knows what would've happened in OT. The Panthers had pulled out many games late that season. They'd have been the more confident team in OT.

Even without the Kasay kick out of bounds, who's to say the Pats wouldn't have gotten into FG range, either way? Those OFF THE CLOCK POINTS that they lost (two 2pt conversions & the Pats' made 2pt conversion) did more damage than Kasay's error.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
