If you are watching the Monday night game, you are might be reminded how protection breakdowns affect kicks...then again none of you have believed there were protection breakdowns for Gostkowski...my mistake.

THAT has been one of the most surprising things about the board last night/today. I can't believe all the blame going on Gost. Didn't anybody friggin' WATCH the play? Denver overloaded the left side (defensive left) and there was NOBODY to block Foxworth.

Cripes it doesn't matter if his foot slipped or not, there was a dude in his face before he even connected.

I understand the eyes go right after the hair starts growing on their palms.

People that are blaming it on Ghost are idiots. Even if there was no protection breakdown I still won't blame him on any blocked/missed kicks. Here's a rookie coming in to replace a legend, it takes more than 3 games. I am DAMN GRATEFUL the kid hasn't caved in to the impossible expectation and self destructed!
