I hate McMahon, but

1. Don't let Richard run 70 yards untouched and the game isn't even close.
2. Offense gets a truckload of turnovers and manages 3 scores all day.
3. Freeman and Coleman ran on us for days.
4. Best case scenario: game is still tied if they properly call him out of bounds and they're getting the ball back.
5. The Panthers offense literally quit about halfway through the 3rd quarter and Sean Payton dicked around and it cost them the game.



Fine. Word it another way:

Blocked FGs/XPs are the difference in MOV for three games.

Also, the Panthers only had one drive that resulted in points without help from a turnover or a ST blunder (I'm including Murphy starting a drive at the 1).

You can't blame the Raiders and the Falcons on special teams. No way, no how.

You can't blame the Giants on the blocked FG. That game should have never been that close. Blame a "high powered" offense that scored 13 points and had great field position all day and a shitty PI call on Ken Crawley.

The Denver game is up for grabs. They could still have lost it with a Denver FG in regulation.

That first half abomination against the Panthers was a team effort. You could just as likely say that the difference was a STUPID forced ball to Fleener who shouldn't have been getting that many targets in the first place.
