False starts have been issues all season. And we were waiting for that FG issue with our young new kicker, and there it is.

There’s not a coach at any level of football that elect to kick a 51 yard field goal down five with 2 1/2 minutes left on 4th and 6. Not a single ******* one.

Even without a playoff appearance possibly on the horizon, or other big goals in mind, you can't go full puzzy and settle for 3 there.

You just can not. Can. Not.

That was a not a wise call. A young kicker in this situation when you were going to go for it originally. The penalty hurt but it just made it a longer fg.

I take it back. He should have gone for it. I don’t trust our kickers over 50 at this point. Under 40 it was the right call. The kicker let Kirk down.
