No. Next question please.

John Kasay won more games for us by far than he lost....  To me he is a top 5 player in our franchise history...

It is a team sport and while I don't solely blame Kasey, his mistake shifted the momentum.  I feel the same way about Cam not diving on the fumble.

Maybe the OP was cryogenically frozen for the past 20 years and just woke up?

All pretty valid points. To me the biggest mistake in that game was starting to chase 2 pt conversions way too early. Thanks Foxy

 

Other than that. Man was that one heck of a game?

Hindsight is 20/20. It was a defensive struggle for most of the game. It wasn’t certain at the time that we’d score more touchdowns.

No. fugin kicker!

Most of us knew we had little shot even after getting the tie. We knew how the game went. We knew we'd need the best defense of the night for the final seconds against the Pats best offense all season.

 

But it's unforgivable to muff that kick there and hand them the game. So no.

Yeah, there was no way to know that game was going to become a shootout.

I don't blame Fox for going for two ... I just think about how different the game would've been if we managed to convert one of them.

It was too early to go for 2. 

Have the Panthers ever had a HC who was a good game manager?

The Cam fumble thing is way overblown imo. 

He didn't dive on the ball for two reasons. 1. He was anticipating the ball changing direction. 2. He was too tall to just drop immediately on top of it.

I didn't like the call, but I understood it.

Up until that td drive, we had 130 yards in total offense.  And it was the 4th quarter. Bottom line, if we convert the first 2 pt conversion, we eventually have a 25-21 lead, and probably win the game. If we only converted the 2nd, we probably go to OT.

It's Kasay's fault my lunch money was stolen when I was younger.
