We all gave Gano poo last year for missing field goals but I seriously doubt ANYONE would question his leg strength. Dude has one of the best cannon's in the league in that regard.

Why they wouldn't let him even attempt it, at the end of the half, is beyond me. Just another in the long list of WTF Rivera moments throughout his tenure. 

terrible. Coaching and anybody that can't comprehend  that is probably a moron. or a  serious madden player....

may as well have just taken a knee

You cannot tell me that we had a better chance of completing a hailmary when Cam barely had 2 seconds to throw the ball that drive than attempting a 58 yarder, which Gano has shown he has the leg strength for. You don't pay a fuggin kicker top 3 money if you aren't going to let him attempt 55+ yarders. We might as well have kept Butker if that was the case.

Hell, even the Eagles let their rookie kicker who got signed from the practice squad THAT week attempt a 61 yarder at the end of the game against the Giants. And oh look, HE MADE IT because he got the chance. Ron would have just took a knee and played for OT in that same situation.

Leg strength has never been an issue with Gano. He can kick it farther than Uncle Rico can throw it.

The play they called seemed like they wanted Dickson to run into the safety to try and get a pass interference call for a more makeable ~40 yard field goal...but Dickson must not have gotten the message since he wasn't even turned around.

Yeah, I heard that.

That could be interpreted anywhere from "gimme a chance, coach" to "f--k  you, Ron".

I'm pretty sure I know which he meant! For all the crap Gano caught preseason, he's been one of the most consistent pieces of our team so far. Let the man do his job!

They said he had the wind in his face.  Still...attempting it seems higher percentage than what we did.

Yeah what a cowardly excuse from him.  Honestly, it's even scarier that he tries to defend these horrendous decisions.

It's time for him to delegate these decisions to someone else, like Ken Dorsey.  Rivera can just sit there with his arms crossed doing nothing (which is mostly what he's doing now), but now he won't be able to negatively impact us with his elementary coaching mistakes
