I just don't understand why we are calling for Lindell's head. He missed one field goal. Seems like everyone is frustrated about our loss to a fluke play and all collectively decided that Lindell is the easiest person to be made a scapegoat. Let's all point that finger to the kicker.
He didn't single-handedly lose the game for us. He didn't botch a game winning field goal with no time left on the clock. John Carney did that last season with New Orleans and still nobody called for his head.
We lost the game as a team. Drew could've passed that ball to Sheldon. Clemens could've batted the ball down to Jimmy Smith. Reese, Wire and Spikes could've batted that ball down from the winning TD. Hell, Mularkey could've called the run on that 3rd and goal at the one play. But no one is calling to fire those guys.
Let's just leave our kicker alone and move on.
