Thought Norwood deserved a better photo than the Norwood days away from football post (this is a photo from after a game winning AFC championship kick)

Hell yeah! Scott was such a class act. This fanbase has failed to recognize.
fun story: My buddy was rooting around his house in Chicago and found a Scott Norwood card from the 1990 season and sent it to me. I’m convinced proudly displaying this card will reverse the curse.
He wasn’t a bad kicker at all. And that lock (at that time) wasn’t a gimmie.
Watching FFoB is soo gut wrenching listening to Scotty talk. You can tell how absolutely haunted he is to this day.
I was just a little kid when this happened in the super bowl. The four falls of buffalo documentary helped me realize how important Norwood was to Buffalo making multiple super bowls. The criticism is and isn’t wareanted.
Scotty’s alright with me. Go Bills
Love Scottie! The Bills super powered offense should have never put that man in the position he was in. 47 yarders weren’t as high percentage as they are now (at least not that I remember). If you want to blame, he’s far down on the list. He just missed his shot to bail them out.
Was 13 years old and went to city hall to show support the next day. Now you would go to the airport. Remember we couldn’t see very well but Scott got the loudest cheer of anyone. It was not a gimme on that grass. He played well the next year.
Christie would’ve made it
Never blamed Norwood. That incredible offense shouldn’t have been in a position to rely on a long kick to win that game. They were outcoached in every Super Bowl. Weird how they always found a way to beat up the NFC in the regular season but got manhandled in every SB.
Still no
The offense needed to adjust to the Giants defensive schemes and they didn’t. Credit where credit is due. Belichick could coach a damn fine defensive line.
Norwood was a pro bowl kicker he deserves to be remembered as such. GO BILLS
Made more important kicks than he missed.
That entire last drive of SB XXV was a coaching disaster, starting with letting 20-something seconds tick off the clock before calling timeout when the Giants were about punt away to us.
Parcells & Belichik put a goddamn coaching clinic on Marv & Co allllllllll game. A lot of people wont admit that, so Norwood gets the lazy blame.
Misses happen. I wonder how it would have been in Buffalo went with Paul Woodside instead. The guy set the Big 12 and NCAA records in the day!
