Harbaugh basically gave him extra time to visualise his kick and get comfortable out there rather than a rush job 53 yarder.
It's tough to say. I recall Coughlin saying he looked at the stats and it works.
Quote:Sure he missed a FG earlier in the game that wouldnt had needed the 53 at the end, but he also save a run back TD with his tackle... so give the kid a break... he's a rookie!
^^This. That was a great play on that kick return. The little guy spaced himself perfectly and prevented what was most likely a TD if he didn't make that play.
He gets a big "Kudos" from me on that special teams tackle.

Yeah, but did you see how bad some of his kickoffs (including that one) were yesterday? The kicker doesn't make a TD-saving tackle because his world-class leg punched it out the back of the endzone...

I was kind of questioning that decision, too. I think I would've rather forced Myers and the FG team to hurry out there and get the snap off than give them all that time to catch their breath. The play clock after a penalty is set to 25 seconds rather than 40, isn't it?
He lost the Colts game for us....sigh..4-5..instead 3-6, 1 game out
I don't know if Myers salvaged a long term career with the Jags or not, but he at least bought himself a little more time on the team. After completely 'whiffing' the earlier field goal attempt, if he had missed the kick on that final play... he may not have been a Jaguar today. This is pure speculation on my part, but I'd have a hard time believing he would still be on the team 24 hours later.
Zero to hero and back to zero - right where he belongs.
Unbelievable.
It was funny for awhile but now.....kill the boy.
Jason Meyers is firmly been placed in the doghouse with the fans of Jacksonville. He misses (PAT) as if it's in his contract to do so. Did it last week and then comes out today and "nails" a 46 yd. field goal and next time out...........blows yet another PAT.
Memo to Jason:
If you're married, I'd highly recommend at halftime that you call your wife and have her start packing your bags cause you are NOT helping your cause in the least.
Guarantee you that miss comes back to kill us in this game.
he is back to zero (and has been for awhile).
Patience is a virtue.
But the most virtuous thing Shad could do right now is buy Myers a brand new boat for an early Christmas present.
Destination: anywhere but Jax.

Glad we won the game in a definitive fashion but come on Myers.
We can't expect to throw up 50 points a game and I am hesitant in relying on Myers for a kick.
Whatever, I am going to enjoy this win for right now!!!!!
