Nah, not going for the TD and playing conservative on that last drive. Offense was rolling and you put the game in Special Teams hands is a weird coaching call.
Either way it was a great game.

Yep, makes no sense to stall your offense that had been on fire when you were on the edge of your kicker's range. It forces the kicker to kick at a lower angle for distance increasing the chance it gets tipped. Kick likely would have gone in too if it wasn't tipped.

Tinfoil hat theory is that McVay just hates this guy for eating all the break room donuts so he went for ritualistic humiliation instead of trusting his Future HoF QB and unguardable WR.

Well, anyone that blames the kicker for this doesn’t really have a functional brain, so can you really take them seriously?

Because it’s easier to point the finger at the guy who “missed” instead of the blocking unit that allowed it to get blocked in the first place.
Kick was gonna be good if it wasn’t blocked. Just poor blocking and a great play by Groot.

Why? Is it because he is fat? The kick was probably going to be good before it was tipped. McVay has been doing dumb things throughout this whole season. The end of that last drive was handled like crap. He should have let Stafford and his array of weapons finish the job they started. Anyone who blames the kicker here doesn't know ball at all.

It they are roasting this guy in their subreddit, then they're just a bunch of fools. He did his job. This situation was clearly a failure of coaching.

blocked kicks can definitely be on the kicker but i'm not sure this one was, the blocker had a shifty move to get inside and then had a good jump

People just being fatphobic for no reason.
Not his fault the o line sold and didn’t do their blocking assignments

u/Excellent-Tip4941 1h ago
No one’s being fatphobic when like half the NFL is “fat” but it’s just extremely odd to see a chubby kicker so obviously gonna be a talking point

Blame the kicker all you want, the defense let up 37 points and Josh Allen only completed 12 passes.

Anyone notice if his planted foot moved? Thought he lost his balance ever so slightly.

I believe he was sucking wind walking out to kick. Needs to do some laps and not be chunky
