What the fuck has John Kasay ever done for us?

[Carolina Husker]

Kasay has been a great kicker for about 95% of his career.

Unfortunately the other 5% have been in big game situations, and he's been pretty bad. The two biggest games we've had in the past 5 years have arguably been this Giants game and the Super Bowl, and he had a negative effect on both.

Fox, you are a dumb ass. You should NEVER blame a kicker for a loss. If you put your team in a situation where it is up to the kicker, it aint the kickers fault. Besides, Kasay is like a son to Jerry Richardson.

There's not been a regular season game in the history of the league that's been bigger than any playoff game.

Other than the Super Bowl, Kasay has been absolutely money in the playoffs.

So try again.

By the way, I don't see enough people realizing what the conditions were like on that field goal. A 50 yard field goal on the road in the swirling wind is an extremely difficult one to hit. If Kasay couldn't hit it, I doubt there's a kicker in the game right now that could have made it.

All the people who feel like this should get together and jump off a friggin cliff, worthless piles of human waste

[Vampi]

If I wasn't pissed off enough then have to read this stuff. Ugh!

Kasay had a huge impact on the Super Bowl. Since then, the only bigger game that we've had that he had a major role in would probably be the win against the Bears in the '05 playoffs. We killed the Giants in the game before and got smacked by the Seahawks the week after.

I think Kasay has been a great kicker for us, but that was a makable kick last night, and he just didn't get it done. Hence that 5% I was talking about.

[Carolina890]

Oh right, kicking the ball out of bounds in the Superbowl and missing the most important field goal of the entire franchises history.

He's the kicker version of Tony Romo, puts up pretty stats, then chokes when it matters. f*ck you nutthuggers. :banghead:

really? and what the fug did our offense do for kasay? Oh, that's right...force him to kick a 50+ yard kick...that's tough for any kicker.

and this isn't exactly the most important game in franchise history...

[Panthro]

I blame my cousin who said "This game is over! Kasay is automatic."

He made a 50 yard fg in the Superbowl, and the impact of that out of bounds kick is overstated. New England was going through our defense with ease, an additional 15 yards most likely would not have made a difference.

And for his career, he has hit 20 of 22 fg's in the playoffs.

[Carolina Husker]

That kick out of bounds was not overstated. It was huge.

Kasay's been a great kicker for us. But he has not been without fault. Last night was a good example. He should have made that kick.

Wow.

What a thoughtless post.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd challenge anyone to go back and look for games we've won where a clutch field goal made the difference vs games we've lost where a missed field goal played a role.

I can pretty much guarantee you'll find way more examples of the first than the second.

Well, what kicker, indeed what human is without fault? Unless Jesus becomes our field goal kicker, I don't think we can find anyone without fault.

We will have to agree to disagree about the out of bounds kick.

I don't think 15 yards made a difference.

Meh...the goalposts give him flashbacks...
