....this is now a major acute concern going into the last two games of the year.

Should we have the other kid kick the short close in kicks 

let Nordin gamble with the longer chances, he has the bigger leg

Kicking field goals successfully has a lot to do with self confidence and belief. When in a slump it's very difficult to break out of it. We need to get Quinn an easy FG to get him confident again. It's clear to me that he is overthinking. The key is to not think. Trust your form, trust those around you, and go through the motions. Hopefully Quinn steps up and returns to his early season form

Kind of a bad day from the special teams, they were allowing extra yards on kick/punt returns, the punting was still meh, and Quinn Nordin!

Harbaugh snapped, and it made perfect sense that he did, he's been patient enough since Penn State. As he said, gotta make em.

I wouldn't be surprised if this performance filtered into the fourth down playcalling decisions made next week. Field position and getting points will obviously (duh) be huge!
