Its relevant because unlike in Dallas, you're asking a bad kicker to kick from 50+ yards. Yet again, my point is, we've got to work with the hand we've been dealt. Gano is obviously shaky with anything around 45+ Under that, if he misses, he SHOULD be royally kicking himself. An NFL caliber kicker needs to make those and he doesn't even do that regularly. So you expect him to make something longer than 50+ with the game on the line? Please. You're playing a game of chance at that point.

We need to get Gano in better field position I'd say anything within 45 yards and even at that I don't feel safe. Under 40 yards should be money, but he even misses those at times. But if everyone wanted to put him on the cross at that point, I'd completely be backing you up.

So saying bad kicker is bad when he's kicking from 50+ yards considering how hot and cold he's been throughout his entire career seems a bit obvious, don't you think?

well your basically making my point,your admitting from the get go gano sucks so why are you defending this guy? Im not blaming this loss solely on gano but the simple fact is he makes those 2 very makeable kicks we win!
He's shown us he can do it by nailing the 59 yarder at home,so whats shanahan sposed to do? Its not like it was out of his range,but like YOU SAID,we cant even trust him to make a 40 yarder,thats why he has to go and he's the goat.Again,not blaming him solely for this loss and just because we have other needs doesnt mean we should let gano have a free pass which it seems you want to do

I can understand Beck needing to go with his lack of playing abiblity, Grossman going for his (atleast) 2 INT's a game, Stallworth although yesterday was his best day all year, Brown cause he really doesn't block, Torain because he must be a one year wonder, ....etc, etc.

But the kicker? I'm not defending him I'm just saying he has a bad game and he should go. The whole team should go then cause they all have had bad days and some have had more then their share.

No body dare's to mention Davis. Mrs. Fumbles. Mr. I can't catch a cold lately. Mr. let me tip the ball for the opponants. Mr. I'll let the Safety go after the ball. It's no wonder why the team doesn't want to get rid of Cooley.
