This is a joke, right? Some clown wrote it in the post and my friend texted me the same thing. Can’t be true, right?

Kicker Scott Norwood booted a field goal and three extra points in the game, and will be in attendance on Sunday to receive the Ralph C. Wilson Distinguished Service Award during the first break of the first quarter.

Norwood was responsible for so many wins from 1987 through 91. He was a great kicker.Let's Go BILLS and SU ORANGE![IMhttp://www.billszone.com/fanzone/attachment.php?attachmentid=&stc=1G]Comment

So, should Marv Levy, Jim Kelly Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith not be in the Hall of Fame? Because those four "blew" four Super Bowls... Norwood was only on the team for two of them.Originally posted by Maybin's Revenge
I was 12 when Super Bowl XXV happened... For years, I was pretty mad at Norwood as well... Then, about 5 years later, I actually got a tape of the game and watched it again, in it's entirety... I'd suggest you do the same.
If you watch the game again, you'll notice that our defense couldn't get off the field, especially at the start of the second half, when the Giants had a 14 play, 75 yard drive that lasted just under 9 1/2 minutes. During that drive, you'll also notice that the Giants had four successful third down conversions, one of those being on a 3rd and 13... If the Bills defense makes one play during that drive alone, the Bills probably win the game.
Hell, if that's too much for you, just find the Bills "Missing Rings" show on NFLN... I'm sure it will air around the Super Bowl.

Don't compare HOF players like Kelly, Thomas, and Bruce Smith to any kicker, let alone a bum like Norwood.Originally posted by BLeonard
The guy played seven years for the Bills and had ONE good year, 1988, when he went 32-37 in FGs. But in the other six seasons, he was a 68-percent kicker! Sixty-eight percent! For goodness' sake, he made two field goals over 50 yards in his entire career!
I watched the whole thing. The guy missed a makeable field goal and let the giants win the super bowl. Is he the antichrist? No, he just screwed up the biggest play in the history of your franchise and really wasn't that great otherwise. You don't honor guys like that.I was 12 when Super Bowl XXV happened...

Not even Vinatieri? Having a username with "Maybin" in it, I guess you'd be an expert on bums...Originally posted by Maybin's Revenge
He also had 33 field goals that put the Bills ahead and 3 kicks in overtime. Also, as you said, he had 2 FG's over 50 yards in his career (which both came in 1991, AFTER Super Bowl XXV, by the way). So, if he had never hit FG's from that sort of distance before, why would you expect him to do it in the last seonds of the Super Bowl?The guy played seven years for the Bills and had ONE good year, 1988, when he went 32-37 in FGs. But in the other six seasons, he was a 68-percent kicker! Sixty-eight percent! For goodness' sake, he made two field goals over 50 yards in his entire career!.
Then, I assume you saw the graphic when he was warming up that stated he was something like 1/5 on attempts within the 47 yard range on grass in his career... Again, if he had never done it consistently before in that situation, why would you expect him to do it now?I watched the whole thing. The guy missed a makeable field goal and let the giants win the super bowl. Is he the antichrist? No, he just screwed up the biggest play in the history of your franchise and really wasn't that great otherwise. You don't honor guys like that.
I'm not saying that he was the best kicker of all time (or hell, even in Bills history) but they're not exactly retiring his jersey... He's just getting a service award. If I had to guess, it'll probably happen during a commercial.
But, last I checked, there were 53 players on that team that day... I don't see how you can put all of the blame on him.

Re: Are they “honoring” Scott Norwood at halftime this sunday?
"I didn't know what to say to him," says Levy. "I was searching for words to buck him up, but I knew how he felt. We engineered that drive to get him in field goal range. It was a 47-yard kick off natural grass. Fewer than 50% of those are made. He had been such a great kicker for us over the years, and he won a few games for us with his leg, but you don't think about things like that at a time like that."
As Levy is trying to console his kicker, linebacker Darryl Talley and cornerback Nate Odomes approach Norwood and explain that if they had made a crucial tackle in the third quarter on a third-and-13 pass play, then the Bills would have never been in the position where they needed to make that kick. Then Reed comes over and says that if he had hung on to a few key passes in the second quarter, then the Bills could have put the Giants away. Teammate after teammate visits with Norwood and reinforces the message that this was a team loss. Fellow special teams player Tasker, who watches all this from his locker next to Norwood, recalls, "None of the players on that team blamed him. They knew you could take back any one play and the game might have been different."
