I'd fire Gano right now

Dude still should have had the smarts to bat it down. If Mike freakin' Mitchell can do it (SF, 2013) then Adams should too.

For being an All-pro multi-Pro Bowl vet, he's been such a dilweed this season.

Get out of here. Gano has carried this team with our reliance on field goals. Oh no, he's missed the odd important field goal in so many play-off games. How about the fug ups by Kalil, Funchess, Clay, Kuechly, any DB...

wait? you mean one thing leads to another?

Both are virtually redundant in the grand scheme of a game. Your argument would be more valid if it were for the game winner. When he’s forced to kick as many as he does game after game due to an inept red zone offense this poo is gonna happen at the worst times.

If you're giving Gano a pass you are part of the problem. He's one of the highest paid at his position. This isn't some jag.

right. Clay had a TD, but Gano missed a 25 yard fg...

[KillerKat]

He's missed 3 chip shots this year. Two were extra points and the one FG attempt today. If he made the first one, we only needed another FG to win. And we were in FG range at the end. Gano costs us yet another game.

he can't hit the important FGs and he proved it again.

yay a 58 yarder.

Are you implying the one he missed in the beginning was important and the other three were not? Pretty sure they were all equally important....

[Murph]

Gano is an UFA. I know Ron loves him because of the touch backs but I think he will walk. His pro bowl invite will get him a contract elsewhere 

[Goondal]

Gano’s miss sucked but I think Payton is much more likely to punt if the lead is only two at the end.

[Randolph Panther]

Missing a 25 yarder isnt good but Gano has been spectaclur this year.  Im glad we have him. 

[Moneyman321]

Im not saying Gano is the best choice but right now we have bigger fish to fry. Offensive line is a problem. Lack of receiver depth is a problem. Poor secondary is a problem. Running game as a whole could be considered a problem with an aging Stewart. All more important issues than gano.

His make at the end of the half gave us momentum going into the second half. If he would have missed that kick I believe this game would have been over quickly. 

[Jon Snow]

It's a good thing we drafted his replacement...wait.

His job is to make every fg.  Thats all he is hired to do.  He is a professional kicker.  He failed at his job.  While he is not the only reason we lost.  He will not get a free pass.  Because if he did his job we would have won despite Clay dropping an easy TD along with the many other bad plays that happened during the game.

Honestly i would have rather him make the first and miss the second.  At least we could understand missing a 58 yarder.  Plus he gave N.O. momentum who then capitalized with an immediate TD.
