What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMatthew Stafford says the Rams' biggest problem is not the kicker, according to the New York Post.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Rams lost thirty-seven to thirty-four in overtime to the Bills, and Stafford explained that the missed kick was only part of it, with costly missed opportunities and poor execution in the mix too.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI love this for him. A quarterback who admits the whole team stunk it up, that's the kind of accountability that makes kickers sleep better at night.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe said execution.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo he's basically saying thirty-six other guys also missed their assignments. The kicker's just the one we can fire on a Tuesday.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne missed kick, and the whole country had a name and a theory, and now he's been quietly cleared by his own quarterback.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCleared of one thing, and handed a list of the other things that went wrong around him. That is not a pardon, Vera.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is a group project where everyone gets a bad grade.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo we circle up and heal, and every missed opportunity gets a hug and a name.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEvery one of them.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm saying the kicker should send Stafford a fruit basket for taking the heat off him.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe already got his gift. Stafford left him off the list of problems, and in this league that counts as a fruit basket.
