Opinion: The miss FGs were because of the hold

[Silverz1972]

The holds were all tilted instead of up and down.

Why did they keep kicking from the same hash using the same holder?

I was screaming at my TV to "kick it from the middle"

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the record will show that Maher has always preferred kicking from that angle.

Is it possible that the Sun from earlier in the day was in his eyes?

If that were an issue I think they would have fixed it by the 2nd time.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

nah, Maher has had this problem before.....remember he was cut by the Cowboys before because of this. He's got the yips again and i'm, afraid he will still have them Sunday. Mental problem now. They will have to overcome this.

It doesn't matter. We got ourselves a new kicker.

Why would plucking a blade of grass at FG kicking spot not be allowed by the officials?

Anger would say "I didn't blame Maher when I botched the catch to punt last week."

League actually came out about kicking markers before the games this weekend

 

[DripTooHard]

So the new emphasis during playoffs on using markers and objects for kicks was indeed impacting Maher just as many here suspected it would.

ever watch the twilight zone, that's what this felt like to me.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Suddenly this strange new rule application doesn't seem so random...

If true, looks like that is what might have affected Maher yesterday at Tampa Bay with him missing 4 extra points in a row. Definitely something Maher and holder Anger need to work on this week for the upcoming 49ers matchup.
