It is a little like people blaming Sam Norwood for the loss when he missed the potential game-winning FG for the Bills against the Giants in Owl XXV in 1991.  Nevermind the fact that the league average in 1990 for FGs from 40-49 yards was about 62%, in many minds he missed a chip shot.

I meant Scott Norwood.  Sam Norwood was a former supervisor of mine.  Great guy, and I don't he ever missed wide right.

No. You are playing in the Superbowl. The other team is obviously good. They will make plays too. It's one thing to get bested by a tough team. It's another to make an unforced error.

 

Kasay was still great but he fuged up

I won’t forget his mistake and it certainly did cost us but it is tough to make assumptions about things that didn’t happen. Like if he did his job. He didn’t. We still might have lost. 

I’d like to watch that game again though, can anyone say how to do that? Free, preferably lol.

Starting on the 40 yard line the Pats where long yardage and 3rd down when Dan Morgan caused a penalty that gave them a 1st down...without Morgan's penalty the Pats would have faced a 4th and long which could have ended the game and the Panthers winning the SB. 

I don't hear about that much situation after the Casey kick......but was yelling at the TV when it happened that it was the hammering of the death nail in the game for the Panthers with Casey's kick only placing the nail to get hammered (in my opinion)............no doubt both defenses were gassed and the offenses were practically scoring at will during the late stages of the 4th quarter but I can't help thinking what might of happened if the Pats would have been forced in the final play of the game as a 4th and long on their side of the field rather than it being a FG and the win.

As soon as I saw that Brady was going to get the ball back with just about a minute left, I felt we were doomed.  All the kick did imo, is decrease the difficult factor slightly.  

To be honest, I felt that Fox shouldn't have called that final timeout on our own drive.  Should have ran some clock to ensure we either scored and tied it and sent it to overtime, or we lost on our own.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
