The extra point that wasn't that may have won the game

[ladypanther]

So, if Gano had not missed the extra point earlier, obviously the Panthers would have been up by 4 on Indy's last drive in regulation.  They would have had to go for the TD. The way they were making plays on that drive, I think there is a good chance they would have won.  Instead, they could go for the tie, and we know the rest of the story.

Perhaps, the best extra point miss in Panther history.

impressive. most impressive.  thats an outstanding outlook on that.

RRC2...please get out of my thread.

LP, I think the one a couple weeks ago was more significant if u ask me. 

My can't specifically remember the game but u do remember making a thread about it. Instead of our offense ground and pounding the conservative way, we were aggressive and it win us the game.

I like where your head's at though

Last play before they kicked the tying FG in regulation was Luke's ohitwassoooooclose almost INT in the endzone with 2 seconds left in the game. I'd have loved for the extra point to have been good to see one more play, Colts at our 6 yard line, down by 4, with 2 seconds on the clock. Would have saved me the extra heart attacks in overtime

We don't really know what might have happened.  Had they been trying harder to get a td, they might have thrown an interception or fumbled.  Or they might have scored to quickly, allowing us to get the ball back and drive it down the field for Gano to kick his game winning field goal in regulation instead of ot.

He may be a troll but he's right. They would have gone for two when the score would have been 24-19.

What happens in that case is that you make the other team desperate and they focus on going for Touchdowns instead of 3 points... Ahem * how do you think we won that Seattle game.

If the extra point was good at the time, the Panthers would've possessed an 18 point lead. Meaning on the Colts second touchdown, they would've tried for a 2-point conversion to make it a 3-point game. It couldn't have been a four-point margin in this scenario.

Don't care how probable the scenario is of us being up by 4. That's the premise LP put out there. And I'd like to see another goal-line stand in that situation to put a dagger in the Colts heart.

I love LP but the Colts were going for the win anyway...they did not play for a tie....Gruden even overstated this fact.

The FG was only 24 yarder? so it would have been 4th  and goal with 2 seconds left....we held them legit they were going for the endzone.

[SOJA]

it's weird how football works out.

[ncsfinest21]

We won 7-0 fix the problems and move on don't look back

[Cwood722]

I'm actually glad he missed the extra point because if he didn't the Colts would have one more shot in the end zone that probably could have costed us the game.

I was listening to the post game on the radio and Jordan Gross said he spoke to Gano in the locker room after the game and apparently the hold slipped out of Nortmans hand which also caused the miss. Did anybody catch that on tv?
