Nick Folk missing the field goal *Merge*

[renny]

When Folk missed the field goal he looked down at the holder as though it was the holder's fault. The replay showed the snap and hold was perfect. Folk's no playing the blame game.

He is an excuse maker like his coach....again, this stuff all comes back to the attitude/personality of the head coach. No accountability, no passion, no discipline...always comes back to the coach.

That's not what I got from that look at all.

I got more of a, "What the hell is going on? Why am I struggling?"

It just looks like he's frustrated and no idea what to do to get better.

There's more to place holding than having the laces out.

I'm not sure whose fault Folk shouldn't blame anybody even if it is the placeholder's fault.

Folks a basket case now. He is thinking so much now, he is done. I think he looked down at the holder, to say ***, I am doing everything right and it is not working. What else can I do.

This has to be corrected or it will cost us another game.

I don't know who is at fault but there obviously needs to be something fixed.

 

[Drederick Tatum]

Wade said at the post game press conference that he was told that the snap was bobbled. Obviously he was mis-informed (by someone)

 

[Cochese]

Cut his *** asap.

 

[craig71]

Was it said somewhere that Folk kicked the laces rather than striking the ball with the laces out?

How many games in his career has Nick Folk cost us a game?

 

[TwoCentPlain]

At least we didn't sign him to a large contract before he lost it. Can't say the same for our RB Mary Ann Barbie

Folk is having directional and ball flight issues.

Folk is having directional and ball flight issues.

Yep, and that's pretty serious for a kicker...

From the DMN Blog:

Nick Folk's 57-yard field goal attempt at the end of the first half was understandable. But the 42-yarder with 10:38 left in the game was a money kick he's got to make. He low line drive hooked left.

``It wasn't very good operation,'' Folk said. ``From what I could tell, it looked like the ball wasn't where it needed to be.''

Punter Mat McBriar said he pushed the ball forward on the hold.

``I sometimes lunge forward to get the ball,'' McBriar said. ``That's how I punt. I move into the ball. If I'm trying to turn the ball to move the laces, sometimes I put the ball too far out front. It was just a bad hold.''

Folk is 2 of 7 over the last four games. He has missed eight times this season.

``I'm not going to lose confidence,'' Folk said. ``That's one thing I can tell you.''

Excuses. He has been bad for a while now.

Seriously? That's your argument?

 

[adamc91115]

Seriously? That's your argument?

Yup, seriously.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

That kick was so bad you couldn't even blame the holder. Even with a perfect hold, that kick was shanked and had no chance.:bang2:

Yeah I have the game taped and rewatched it. The snap and hold was perfect. Folk just flat out shanked it.

 

[cowboys102030]

He only has one job and he fails at it. I hope Buehler is accurate, because Folk is a waste of roster space.
