That was the game right there. Good call, Fox.

Anyone still think Fox shouldn't be fired?

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 call sealed the deal for me on Fox being fired....tommorrow!

:

I've been saying that for 3 weeks.

Lets just keep fox till the end of the season, its not that far off anyways.

[Pumpkin King]

And if he made that kick?

[monstercat]

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.

And if he made that kick?

his longest was 56 yards 11 years ago, before knee surgery...

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.

dumb dumb dumb. you have a kickoff specialist who can put it through the uprights from 70 yards out and you give that to a 65 year old kicker in wet frigid conditions? lol. awesome.

Considring we were not getting anywhere with our offence. With a great kicker, and a defence who was holding them scorless, I don't see the big problem. We nneded all the points we could get.

Fox likes his veteran players...

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.
