- 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
- Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
- 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
- 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
- Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
- Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

Only FG he’s missed this season was 50+ and today was the first time he’s missed any XP, in 30mph gusty winds.
But the KC guy had the same wind and no misses.

The Chiefs kicker didn’t miss a single extra point kicking in the same weather.

The 2nd mised PAT was because of the timing. The LS sent the ball into the holders chest. THe holder then had to move the ball back to where the kicker spot it, and that took time. Vizcano had to come around the ball or he would have been making his kick before the ball was down.

The kicker who plays at least half of his games in the outdoor stadium in the windy midwest did better than the guy who plays the majority of his games indoors? Again I understand the frustration but people are acting like Viz is the source of years of kicking issues for this team. He’s had no issues on XP during the season before this game so maybe… just maybe… his first time dealing with very windy conditions is more of an outlier than an indicator that he deserves to be fired after a win?
And Chargers winning the game doesn’t change anything with him. They didn’t win because of him, they won in spite of him.
You want to wait till the Chargers lose a game because of him before considering making a change just because they won today?
You have to remember that he wasn’t superb in training camp or preseason either (without these windy conditions you speak of), he was very inconsistent then as well. He just happened to better than the only other option, Badgley that’s all.
I’d at least be bringing in kickers for try outs at this point.Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

Didn’t he miss a kick last week too “without the wind”?

Viz is hardly the only person on this team that has made mistakes on this young season and yet he’s the only one that deserves to lose his job? Guyton dropped a TD today that would have put us up 21-0 which isn’t even his first drop on the season, where’s the call to fire him? Cook has had the same penalty in 2 weeks that negates a TD, anyone calling for him to be fired?
