Pbomb Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 No it really is the least of our problemsit might not be our biggest problem but it is still a huge problem, the guy is terrible. Horrible at fgs, extra points and now shown on 2 onside kicks this year he cant even do them. A complete joke that he is even on the team after last year and now doing the same exact thing
Fixxxer Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 The field goal was bad, but the look on Carpenter's face when he botched that onside kick said all "this is it, I'm finally getting fired" Cut him and bring Gay, see if he really wants the job.
billsfan_34 Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Kicker is the least of this teams problems No, its still a big problem. Many games are decided by a few points- I could go on and on but a kicker is a necessity.

Gay isn't a FG kicker or he would already be doing the job.
Fixxxer Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Gay isn't a FG kicker or he would already be doing the job. I know, but give him these three games to show it. Maybe one of his misses loses a game for us gives us a better draft position.
Best Player Available Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Carp has missed more PAT's by a half a foot since Dempsey was the kicker. But as someone mentioned for right now? He's the least of this teams problems. The onside kick should make a blooper reel somewhere though.
nucci Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 no, because he's younger and has a stronger leg and he'll be in the league somewhere why not here. Carpenter is done. so you just want a different kicker, not necessarily a better one?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Well there should be many kickers available if every other team also cut all their kickers who've missed extra points.
Nick the Greek Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Carpenter has never properly executed an on-side kick. It's a critical part of the game given the fact that you need to successfully do it or lose. He never even comes close. Kicking extra points are also critical. even if the kicker doesn't botch the kick, recovering one is still incredibly difficult. Especially when the opponent knows it's coming. And the Steelers totally knew it was coming yesterday.
klos63 Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 no, because he's younger and has a stronger leg and he'll be in the league somewhere why not here. Carpenter is done. does that fact that he misses lot's of kicks concern you at all?
Buffalo Beeeews Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 100% on board with cutting Carpenter. Not sure about Gay kicking FGs. But there has to be a better option out there.
nucci Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 The field goal was bad, but the look on Carpenter's face when he botched that onside kick said all "this is it, I'm finally getting fired" Cut him and bring Gay, see if he really wants the job. why wouldn't he want the job?
TUBSTER Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 I've had enough of Carp. It's pretty clear we need a kicker next season anyway, so cut him now and let Gay work the last three games. See if he can do the job or we need to get another kicker. It's all about evaluating for next season now. For those of you still defending Carp, please tell me why. Dude can't even execute an ONSIDES KICK, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! That was the last straw for me. The mullet needs to go, now. Didn't you see Gay during preseason he missed two or three xp's badly like worse than Carp
T master Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 This team has much bigger fish to fry than a kicker they need to figure out Coaching & QB problems before they worry at all about a kicker !!!!! Just saying ...
