I suppose if O. Mare was 6/6, Mora would have been singing his praises?

No... just looking for a scapegoat.

Yeah. Pretty ****bag maneuver but Mora. Hey Jim! Newsflash, buddy! Even if Mare had made that field goal, your team would have still lost by two.

6 field goal attempts in a game, you expect a miss. By the percentages. So Mora threw him under the bus for missing the 34 yarder.

He shouldn't have missed but that is no excuse for throwing him under the bus. If that happened to the pats BB would say something like "we all need to do a better job in all three phases of game, we need to do a better job coaching, playing offense, defense, and special teams".

What Mora did accomplished absolutely nothing positive.

He should've said, "When it really counted, the kicker did diddly poo."

I could imagine BB doing exactly the same thing if Ghost missed a game-winning FG.

Oh, wait. BB wouldn't do that.

Beat me to it.
If BB was HC of the SS, they would be trying for their fourth SB W in a decade...not us.

We're not going to fight our ass off, and have a field goal kicker go out there and miss two field goals and lose a game. It's not going to happen.

Obviously didn't fight hard enough otherwise he'd be kicking for one instead of three, wouldn't he? Look at yourself first and how you can correct the offense and what went wrong on drives. Thats what any coach worth their salt does.

Too easy to blame the stupid kicker though isn't it...

Can't blame him for feeling that way, but he's not helping his team with his comments. Bring it up with the kicker privately, or in a team meeting, or even replace him if that's what it takes, but don't go complaining to the media about your own player.
