i've noticed that Kasay doesn't get enough lift on the ball when he kicks 50 yard field goals or more, I think he has had 3 attempts from that range blocked so far this year and I was worried the Pats would get a block and return from it. I was happy when he missed the field goal. that was the best possible result given his range and the conditions.

why you kick a fg when the best possible result is a missed fg is beyond me

That was the dumbest call ever by Fox, IMO. If there was ever a time in a game to be aggressive, that was it. Even if you go for it there and don't get it, you still put the Patriots in worse field position than you do by missing a FG, which was the lower percentage play in that weather anyway.

yeah, i saw richardson call down to fox and tell him to have kasay kick it. i also saw kasay on the phone. probably talking to the big cat himself. said something about trying to lose so that they could have an easier schedule or something.

oh yeah, i think there was also some conversation about a strategy to not be as incredibly active as the cardinals were last year...you know, only re-signing 2 players to multi year deals and a few more to one year deals, bringing in only one vet who can help somewhere, creating a situation in which you could have 22 players becoming free agents the following year....yeah, that's the kind of genius the team is trying to avoid. that's what teams do who are trying to get better and are committed to winning.

No one call is ever going to make me say a coach should be fired. Its the body of work that matters to me. If he is indeed fired, it should be because of the lack of attention to the QB and Wide Receiver positions, the problems on the defensive front with stopping the run, and consistent problems over the last two-three years on special teams. And no signs of improvement in any of those areas.

But yes, it was a very bad call.
