what did welker do with dolphins........i wonder if they are still cheating but just not getting caught......

Their lack of SB appearances in 7 years cause all that to be thrown out the window

Anyone who blames Kasay is just looking for someone to blame and doesn't know football. Sure it was a mistake, but Brady would have got them into FG position regardless.

Anyone who blames Kasay for the Super Bowl loss doesn't know strategy. John Fox lost that game by going for TWO 2 POINT CONVERSIONS and failing to get either. That led to the Patriots going for a two point conversion later in the game that they never would have gone for if the Panthers had kicked the extra points. The Panthers were leading the Patriots 22-21 instead of 24-21 because of the blown 2pt conversions. The Patriots scored, went for two, got it, so now they were leading 29-22. The Panthers scored a TD, now the score was 29-29, then Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds.

Had the Panthers kicked the extra points like they should have MUCH EARLIER IN THE GAME (which is why it made no sense to go for two), if they'd have been ahead 24-21 before the Pats scored, it's unlikely that the Pats would've gone for two, because either way, the Panthers would've led them if they scored a TD and if the Pats got the ball back, the worse that could've happened was Overtime. Why would the Pats go for two if they were ahead 27-24 and risk being down 31-27 if they didn't get it and the Panthers scored a TD, so of course they'd have kicked the extra point.

So minus the blown 2-pt conversions, you'd have likely been looking at the Panthers leading 31-28 when Kasay kicked it out of bounds, so we'd have ended up with OT instead of a regulation loss.

Those two 2-point conversion are what really did the Panthers in, in that game. Who knows what would've happened in OT. The Panthers had pulled out many games late that season. They'd have been the more confident team in OT.

Even without the Kasay kick out of bounds, who's to say the Pats wouldn't have gotten into FG range, either way? Those OFF THE CLOCK POINTS that they lost (two 2pt conversions & the Pats' made 2pt conversion) did more damage than Kasay's error.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
