I was encouraged by Moody's rookie season and thought he got unnecessarily crapped on by a lot of Niner fans.
I cannot defend him this year. Whether or not his mechanical issues are a result of him rushing back from an injury, something mental, or him just sucking down the stretch, I cannot say. But he missed far too many kicks this year for me to be comfortable bringing him back.
If he would have built even slightly on last season, I would want him back and actually feel confident he would become a very good kicker. But he majorly regressed and absolutely cannot be on the team next season.
Another shanahan coaching problem. You already knew when he choked away the one game in The regular season last year that if given more opportunities to choke away more games he would.
He needed to have his choke opportunities reduced this year but instead they were increased and the results were entirely predictable.
Another classic shanahan example of how he makes the choking situations for himself. When you have a Shakey kicker play more aggressive not less aggressive...
The entire play calling strategy with limited times in the first halves of games should have changed based on moody last year but it didn't. Same with the go for it calls...
Drives needed to be played and time managed like you had to have tds instead of fgs... We didn't see that.
