Fox Doesn't Blame Kasay For Loss. I Sure Do.

[Razzy]

Boo! to the OP. Kasay has been our most productive "offensive" player this year, which is horribly sad, but true. The man has been nothing but consistent over the years, though he has had his hiccups. I know we all wish we could go back to 2003 and remind him to kick it straight and deep so he doesn't kick out of bounds, but blaming him for losses in games where our offense had the opportunity to put it away themselves is just silly.

PS: Jerry Richardson please retire Kasay's number after he finally leaves. In fact, give him a statue.

Most def not Kasays fault. Honestly it freakin blows that he is constantly put in the "I don't think he will make this kick" part of the field to attempt his FGs.

[chknwing]

WTF. By this logic, you guys are saying teams shouldnt even have a FG kicker and that the rest of the team should just score enough points to win. Sorry I dont agree with Fox excluding Kasay as a reason the team lost. And yes, I am still bitter from his botched kick against New England.

[Jackofalltrades]

Not to mention Fox didn't have to call Kasay out, he was the first to shoulder the blame.

As has been said repeatedly, it's a team sport, never does one play or one guy win or lose a game. Never.

[Dpantherman]

I dont blame him per say, but if he hits it we win. so i was pissed right after.

[Jackofalltrades]

I wasn't pissed at all. Disappointed? Yea, but I expected it for 2 reasons.

1. Bad teams find ways to lose.

2. After missing the first I had a feeling he'd miss if it came down to it.

[Dpantherman]

im very prisoner of the moment to a fault. I was really hot after the game. Im cool now though.

This loss was not Kasay's fault. Neither was the Superbowl loss Kasay's fault. Let it go.

And btw, we lost by 1 point. Was it Kasay's idea to kick an extra point in the 3rd when a 2-point conversion would have tied the game? I doubt it.

i was so annoyed that they didnt go for 2. if there ever was a time, that was it. people say it was "too early" but whatever.

its simple math

[ladypanther]

There is also Foxy playing for FG's...earlier in the game. Should not have been a 1 point game.

[cptx]

And yes, I am still bitter from his botched kick against New England.

the extra 20 yards he gave them didnt matter for poo. with the way NE dissected us on that last drive, they coulda went the length of the field.

[Mvp2014]

who cares??? The one that stands out to me is the final kickoff in the superbowl, he could miss every field goal for the rest of his life if he just didnt shank that one and put brady in field goal range

[chknwing]

yep thats the one I was referring to.

[panthers2u]

It's difficult for me to get worked up over Kasay when we have so many other problems with the team.

Singling out Kasay given all the penalties, poor execution, ridiculous play calling and inability to make adjustments seems a bit heavy handed.

[Mr. Scot]

All I'm saying is every other team holds their FG kicker accountable for missed FG's especially Game winning FG's. Why should Carolina be any different.

Yep. Every time a kicker on another team misses a field goal, he gets cut automatically regardless of whether there's anyone better available or not.

Heck, some teams go through eight, nine, even ten kickers a season.

Why won't our team make impulsive moves with no thought about consequences?
