Yeah they did, ANOTHER stupid decision by the front office..... He was a great kicker just two years ago. The two missed FG's and the fumble by Coles on the Bengals first drive of the game were HUGE in this game.

I don't believe he gave up one sack yesterday did he? Sure he missed two kicks in situations in he normally money in but that happens, and it surely did not cost the Bengals the game by any stretch.

6 points doesn't get the Bengals a win.....it's a good thing this game wasn't decided by 1-6 points, or Shane Graham would probably be dead right now. Give the guy a stinkin break, if your offense would put the ball in the end zone, you wouldn't have bowed out in the first round. Benson rushes for 170 yards and you don't win....Sad. Touchdowns win ball games, not field goals.
