Let’s pump the brakes on McPherson

[*ochocincos*]

A 49-yarder is basically a 50 yarder, so treating it as if something missed at 49 is inexcusable but anything 50+ is given more leeway is unfair.

With that said, if the attitude is going to be to bash McPherson for missing a kick, I expect this fan base to bash Burrow for every interception, any player fumbling, a receiver dropping a ball, etc.

Keep in mind that had Mason Crosby not missed his XP and the first missed FG, the Bengals would have been down by 4 right at the end of the game. The fact the Bengals were even on the verge of winning is because of missed kicks from the other team.
