It is my impression that on the second attempt by Kam to jump the line that Gano whiffed that kick on purpose and took the hit from him. He easily could have kicked it as usual and had it blocked but instead he stepped into the kick to make sure it didn't touch Kam and took the fall.

 

That is a brilliant flop if I've ever seen one. Someone tweet JJ Jansen and find out if this is a fair assumption. Everyone was wondering how we could let him do this twice and I think that is why.

Gano missed the FG because......

A. He has been missing FG's all season.

Or

B. A safety is nearly on his d**k as he's approaching the ball.

I can't see that ever being designed or on purpose.

It was a nice flop and I'm glad we got the penalty but how did we not make an adjustment after the first block attempt?

That WAS the adjustment. While it seems improbable, he could've have known it was possibly going to happen again and had decided if it did happen that he needed to shank it. I just don't see how he possible could've missed the ball had Gano actually attempted to truly kick the ball. Therefor, I think it was trickeration.

Richard Rodgers - the same coach that didn't make adjustments when we had the first punt blocked in Minnesota. The same coach that other teams admitted they saw weaknesses on film that he failed to correct. The same coach that didn't realize the wedge is not allowed in the NFL. 

 

It is time to hire a REAL Special Teams Coach. Not just a "special" coach.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
