Shock rippled through 49ers fans after Week 1 when the team waived kicker Jake Moody<\/strong> following 2 missed kicks<\/strong> in the Seattle loss. The move, confirmed by NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, arrives days after a blocked attempt and a short missed field goal magnified sideline frustration. For a team that locks down games by points, losing its kicker mid-September is immediate pain for coaches, bettors, and fantasy owners. This is more than a roster tweak – it\u2019s a confidence and depth test. Who steps up to replace Moody, and how fast will the 49ers respond?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    Why This Week 1 Waiver Hits The 49ers\u2019 Depth Chart Hard In 2025<\/h2>\n

    The timing is brutal: a roster change at kicker comes off a 17-13 road win\/loss swing and before a critical divisional stretch. Moody\u2019s inconsistency – a strong rookie 2023 (21\/25) but a rougher 2024 (24\/34) – made this a decision rooted in trend, not just one day\u2019s failure. For coaches, a waiver means reworking kickoff strategy, field-goal practice reps, and late-game planning immediately. For bettors and fantasy players, expected point spreads and kicker streams change overnight. Who the 49ers sign will reveal if this is a panic cut or a coached reset.<\/p>\n

    Which Players And Reporters Reacted To Moody\u2019s 2-Miss Week 1 Fallout?<\/h2>\n

    Tom Pelissero reported the waiver and other sideline reporters captured visible player frustration after the kicks. Local sideline video showed helmets thrown and teammates animatedly reacting; that clip circulated widely on X and amplified the narrative that locker-room patience had run thin.<\/p>\n
