Wow, I'm glad the public internet wasn't around back when Mark Mosley was kicking for the Redskins.
No joke. The Super Bowl teams of the early 80's would have been hammered all around. "Mosley missed! Cut him!" "Riggins is not a breakaway threat. We need a new back." "Theismann will never win games in this league. Let's trade for David Woodley!" etc etc

When Gano kicked the ball outta bounds to start the half is when I sped my drinking up. I think everyone got a really bad feeling, sho nuff they were in the endzone several plays later.
Yeah the D Hall comment was an easy read. Like Bob Dylan says "I had to let ya pass"
Man I hear that, when it went out of bounds I just got this bad feeling. I knew from the domination of the 1st half they were going to make adjustments and since it was a close game I had a feeling like I knew which way the game was going to go. But hey, these aren't the Redskins of yesteryear :food-smil

I was a bit of a Gano hater... UNTIL THEY CHANGED THE KICKOFF RULES.
I think you guys are underestimating the value he brings by booting the ball thru the endzone EVERY kickoff (when they're in bounds). You know how nice it is to take a lead and not have to worry about a heartbreaking KO return right back in our face?? It's HUGE.
The tradeoff is he'll likely miss 1 FG every game. I've come to accept it, so should you.

Did he say anything about giving the Cardinals starting position at the 40 yard line to begin the second half which effectively helped the Cardinals take the lead and give the Cards offense momentum? So we missed a short field goal to start the season, kicked the ball out of bounds the second game...so we are good with averaging a mistake a game? Like to see him bring it together this season, probably his last here if he doesnt. Im pulling for and want this guy to play consistently.
I would call Chauncy Stucky a scapegoat if he is blamed for the cards loss, I really wouldnt call guys who keep making mistakes scapegoats.
As for the out-of-bound kickoff that allowed the Cardinals to open the second half on the 40-yard line, Gano took full responsibility. It was a directional kick aimed at the corner of the field, and Gano wasn’t helped by the wind at his back.
“That’s on me,” he said. “I got to keep the ball in play. ...I hit the ball well, just didn’t put it where it should’ve been.”

Don't take the bait Chico it's a trap!!!!! The D.Hall argument has been argued to death.
It wasn't brought up to argue any points about D. Hall other than, why is it one that makes mistakes and plays, is a hero, but the another guy on the team that does the same thing, and he's a goat that should be cut.
D. Hall - Makes plays - gets burned = Hero
Gano - Makes GW field goals - misses field goals = Goat and should be cut.
I don't quite get that logic.
Wow. Graham Gano sucks. We should totally cut him!

This thread has become kind of pointless by now. Time to lock it

I think he's being sarcastic. I hope.
That's the second game in a row thought that someone other than Gano has let us down on a field goal. That field goal is the difference.
