well, it likely did.. cundiff would likely make a FG from 44..but a 54 yarder isn't likely at all..
so, i know you can't assume that cundiff would make the 44 yarder, but the odds are definitely with him

There would have been a penalty regardless of whether Carter threw that pass, a throwaway, or a touchdown bomb. The penalty yardage was going to assessed because the Giants would want to make the field goal attempt more difficult.

I see what you are saying, but there is no way that Qspare could have known about the penalty. He made a decision to throw the ball to a player that couldn't get out of bounds in all likelihood and had that been the case, it would have cost us a FG attempt. So it was a bad decision by the quarterback.
