Looks Like All This NFL Effort Goes To Screw

((HT: NFL on FOX))

First, and foremost, how did this NOT get blocked...???


But early word is that the NFL is adding another wild card, so all of this activity may be moot...

The Green Bay folks discuss losing again...

Here's how the fans reacted in San Fran...


And, now, it looks like 49'ers and Panthers and the Seahawks play the Saints...

Phil Dawson: Hey, It Was Worth A Shot...

((HT: NFL Network))

The HQ gives Brad Nessler a lot of credit- more than just liking his work in the booth...

At the end of the first half of last night's San Fran-St. Louis game, he presented the option of a free kick after a fair catch for the Niners to add more points on the board before the half...

So, Jim Harbaugh trots out Phil Dawson for a 71-yard free kick...


Eh... it was a good idea...

The last time a kicker tried it was December 28, 2008, when the Packers’ Mason Crosby missed a 69-yarder against Detroit.

The last field goal off a free kick was on November 21, 1976, when the Chargers’ Ray Wersching hit a 45-yarder against Buffalo.

So, there you go...

And the HQ does not get all the blowing up on the Twitter machine over this being a bad idea...
