Yep. A holding penalty or sack could have taken it out of field goal range.

Indeed. But he's a defensive genius, not a special teams genius.

Great kick, despite everything.

Still too much time on the clock.

Powledge will get Aranda fired. If he doesn't he will if Powledge isn't fired after this season.

Powledge is the DC in name only. This is Aranda's defense ... and it sucks.


Dave has to be HC and effectively DC because Powledge is his DC.

What idiot hired and refused to fire a DC he had to babysit?


Which is why I said Powledge will get him fired and if not he should thank his lucky stars and fire Polwdge.

They'd have used a timeout, but at least it would have forced them to burn one.
