Also, I hope karma comes back to bite the ESPN announcing team for starting - at the beginning of the Bills' last drive - to chatter endlessly about "Oh, heh heh, WIDE RIGHT! Scott Norwood! Buffalo won't win a game on a long field goal because WIDE RIGHT! SCOTT NORWOOD! Heh heh!"
IT WAS 17 YEARS AGO. No one from that team is still in the NFL. If Norwood had pulled a Morten Andersen and was still kicking, then you could devote a solid 5 minutes of booth time to it. But this is its own game and its own play. So Lindell kicked into the funky Ralph Wilson Stadium wind and didn't make it. Mr Cab's post below, about choice of goal in the 4th, makes as good a point as any I've seen; other Internet nerds are wondering why Jauron called for short Lynch runs rather than trying for bigger gains to make it a shorter kick. These arguments - and DOZENS of other arguments, like "what's wrong with Trent Edwards," "where's Lee Evans," and the like - have a LOT more to do with this game than one bad-luck kick seventeen years ago.
