Kicking there was so fucking stupid to begin with. But when you have Moody as your kicker, you can't kick it.
A NFL kicker should be making <50 yarders all the time now, 4th & 6, perfect conditions today.

It's a roster problem if you don't have a NFL-quality kicker this deep in the playoffs.

It's amazing how kicking has changed. Like 10-15 years ago a 48 yarder was long, now we just assume guys will make it. Like Vinatieri... from 2003-2010 he had only one season where he made a kick over 48.

Moody isn't an NFL quality kicker. So you don't kick that FG in that spot.

Shanny gets too scared. And it's his achilles heel.

The defense has been totally helpless for weeks now. I'm going to do the fan thing and blame the DC.

Even crazier, he went 35-50 (70%) on 50+ from 2011-2019, when he was an old dude.

This is a very disciplined approach by the Lions. They know they have the advantage with their O-line and should use it until SF shows it can stop it

I want the Chiefs to lose but I can’t help but root for the Lions. Plus you gotta think if it’s Lions-Chiefs the crowd will be 90%+ Lions fans

The Niners are such a loaded, flawed team. I've watched every game and you can just feel that they don't know what to do when someone punches them in the mouth. Missing that extra oomph you need.

Moody was basically exactly league average, he was 1 make away from Justin Tucker, he's an NFL quality kicker for sure, it's just a swingy position even week to week.

I live halfway between Detroit and Ann Arbor so you and your “results need to hold” can respectfully fuck off
