We all gave Gano poo last year for missing field goals but I seriously doubt ANYONE would question his leg strength. Dude has one of the best cannon's in the league in that regard.

Why they wouldn't let him even attempt it, at the end of the half, is beyond me. Just another in the long list of WTF Rivera moments throughout his tenure. 

terrible. Coaching and anybody that can't comprehend  that is probably a moron. or a  serious madden player....

You cannot tell me that we had a better chance of completing a hailmary when Cam barely had 2 seconds to throw the ball that drive than attempting a 58 yarder, which Gano has shown he has the leg strength for. You don't pay a fuggin kicker top 3 money if you aren't going to let him attempt 55+ yarders. We might as well have kept Butker if that was the case.

Hell, even the Eagles let their rookie kicker who got signed from the practice squad THAT week attempt a 61 yarder at the end of the game against the Giants. And oh look, HE MADE IT because he got the chance. Ron would have just took a knee and played for OT in that same situation.

The play they called seemed like they wanted Dickson to run into the safety to try and get a pass interference call for a more makeable ~40 yard field goal...but Dickson must not have gotten the message since he wasn't even turned around.

Yeah, I heard that.

That could be interpreted anywhere from "gimme a chance, coach" to "f--k  you, Ron".

I'm pretty sure I know which he meant! For all the crap Gano caught preseason, he's been one of the most consistent pieces of our team so far. Let the man do his job!

They said he had the wind in his face.  Still...attempting it seems higher percentage than what we did.

Yeah what a cowardly excuse from him.  Honestly, it's even scarier that he tries to defend these horrendous decisions.

It's time for him to delegate these decisions to someone else, like Ken Dorsey.  Rivera can just sit there with his arms crossed doing nothing (which is mostly what he's doing now), but now he won't be able to negatively impact us with his elementary coaching mistakes

    • it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.    
    • Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.
    • Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
