He is going to cost us some games this year.

TAKE A FUCKING KNEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND LET SPECS KICK A 33 YD CHIP SHOT FOR THE WIN. Granted specs still should have been able to hit a 42 yarder from the right has, but if Frank wouldn't have been such a dumb fuck he wouldn't have had to.

I don’t fault Frank for trying to improve his position for the kick. You could make a convincing argument that he did so BECAUSE he doesn’t have much faith in specs.

Bitch about the play call sure but I won’t fault the intent.

We need a kicker who can make a 42 yard field goal.

Edit: and Reich should have done it before the season started and it cost us a win.

Damn, as I type this Succop misses a 36 yard field goal. The Tits kicker missed a game winning field goal too. Like Racehorse mentioned, it seems to be a league wide problem outside of about 5 kickers.

Maybe, but Ballard does seem to get hard ons for some players: Banaogu, Campbell, and apparently Blankenship. Reich should check him on that.

Ballard probably does considering he let Badgley back and only brought in another PS guy to compete w/ Specs. Either way it's a big fucking issue when your coaching staff doesn't trust their FG kicker to hit a 33 yarder, which is what happened today :cool:
