And at the highest level, because they're the ones that can take the pressure and kick them.

And man, listen, I know you don't want to feel bad for the guy because you're still a fan.

But you saw it when Harbaugh was walking into the tunnel, came up behind him.

The guy was crying and had his hands on his chin strap on his helmet.

And Harbaugh put his arm around him.

But it's just it's a tough one when it comes down to that.

And you miss that kick that has become so routine.

Those 40 to 50 yard kicks now become so routine.

When I was playing, it was like 50-50 over 40 yards.

I remember Cowher saying that.

50-50.

Now it's routine 40 to 50.

Well, first of all, I thought, would this have been the same result for us if he would have made that kick?

Would it have been Tomlin who had gotten fired or Tomlin who said, it's time for a change of voice, a change of direction?

I don't know.

And luckily, we're not in that situation.

And Tomlin did what Tomlin always does, got us back in the hunt, got us into the playoffs.

um and so i just think um that it's a tough it's a tough deal right i mean i can see how they would want to change the direction change of voice but when you look at guys when you look at what harbaugh has done i mean listen in 18 years 18 years 180 113 180 wins 13 11 the playoffs won a super bowl 12 playoff

appearances, six AFC North titles and four AFC championship appearances.

That's a resume.
