Notice I didn't just place all the blame on the kicker, because that Bears game yesterday, I can't really blame the kicker. Dumb ass coaches wasted a bunch of time when they should have continued trying to move the ball. In an era where extra points tries are being missed, a 47 yd fg is NOT a chip shot. So many things have to go right to be successful, but only 1 thing wrong has to happen for it to fail.
It's the idiocy and conservative nature of these coaches. They can be down 2 with 25 seconds left at the opponents 35 yd line with 2 timeouts remaining. They do somethin' stupid like run a play to get on the hash mark the kicker likes, not tryna gain anymore yds whatsoever, then as the clock dwindles down to 2 seconds, you see the dumb ass coach leaning towards the official like
"timeout" like a 52 yd fg is a sure thing
