Can we stop blaming Kasey

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. 

False - Cam made a business decision to not dive on the fumble and admitted this in an interview.

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.

 

Or we just take the PATs, everything else goes precisely the same, and we are having a very different conversation right now.

Yeah, about cheating our way to a superbowl ,cause Sauerbran and Donnely were caught using steroids, and the national media framed it like a team wide issue 

Op is right though, those 20 yards meant nothing to Brady and Welker , they were going to nickel and dime our gassed defense if they got it at the 1

Link?

He can’t provide one because it’s false. He said in an interview he anticipated it bouncing out and that’s why he raised up. He couldn’t get there before the defender that was already lower than him so he was playing the bounce.

Newton would go on to explain a day later: “I didn’t dive on one fumble because the way my leg was (positioned). It could have been contorted in a way. You say my effort? I didn’t dive down. I fumbled—that’s fine. That’s fine. We didn’t lose the game because of that fumble.”

Yep, people forget that…
If we kick the PAT’s, then NE doesn’t go for 2 and make it. That’s a 3 point swing and their final drive is for a tie.

    • Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time. 
    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
