Re: Coaching Lost This Game
The call to go for a FG on 3rd down was a good one. If the new snapper has problems and the setup isn't correct they fall on the ball and try again on 4th down. Remember what happened last year in the 49er Giant game? Mare is supposed to be the best kicker in the NFL.
I think the coaching has been awful and I think DW has lost us some games. However, Mare should have made the kick and only missed it by inches. Of course had Ricky gotten the ball on the goal line earlier in the game it might not have mattered.
Also, I read somewhere that Griese was already getting a lot more snaps with the first team than other backup QB's in the league. I wonder if that is because Jay is/was hurt or if the coaching staff likes what they see from Griese.

Going for a FG on 3rd down? If we had the ball on the 5 yard line, fine. But, from the same spot we had one blocked b/c Mare couldn't get the ball up? That was mindboggling stupidity!
