We have played 6 games and 2 games we had a great chance to win, Randy missed kicks. Today, if he hits a 40 yard FG, we don't need a TD last drive, we need a FG. Against Chargers, he missed easy FG to tie game and put us in OT.
I know lots of other plays left on the field too in these games, but is Randy just a kicker and not a winner. His history has been very mediocre in clutch situations, horrible in 2020 and average prior years.
Tough loss today, but overall the OL was better today. Burrow played well, should have had 2 picks today as LB dropped an easy one, but Mixon should have caught the pass in the endzone. We got the TD. but Joe did not as we ran it in.
I am critical of Joe at times, but in time these losses become wins as we build around him. Also great to see AJ back today and Higgins gets better every game.
A team has to be good enough win against all the "ifs" and "what ifs" that can occur. Kickers miss kicks, receivers drop balls, refs blow calls, on and on. It's all part of the game and a team that can win "in spite of" these things tend to take home championships. The teams that cannot, do not.
Mike Brown teams are never good enough to beat the "if this" and "if that". It's just the legacy he's going to leave behind.
