Shanny x 2 are both PUNKS for not playing Helu more and more.

Brothers, I didn't see more than a couple minutes of this game, so please don't flame me for throwing this out there:
One glaring stat immediately stood out as I perused the box score of the 'Skins latest creative success in snatching defeat once again from the jaws of victory.
FG 1-3. For crying out loud, isn't that what Gano is being paid for?!? If he manages to make even 2 of 3 we win that game. If he converts on a lousy 66% of his attempts instead of padding his league-worst miss totals, we beat our hated rivals and regain a large measure of self-respect in this season that is now descending into the abyss at a supersonic pace.
Is THAT too much to ask of a PRO placekicker? Am I being too demanding here, or is it reasonable to expect that one of the returns on the Redskins half a million dollar investment in this knucklehead is a made to missed ratio closer to 70% than 33%.
This is becoming the cruelest of seasons. I would rather lose all year, abjectly and resoundingly, than suffer through these ever more incredible flukes of the game that always yield the same result: yet another loss for the once-proud B & G.
Someone please take the time to enlighten me if I'm wrong here. I would appreciate it.

You are right Gano is missing way to much .
Add kicker to the list of needs on the other hand our punter is doing a good job.
