4merper4mer Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 This is Whaley's biggest failure. Bye, Dan. Good riddance. I think when he let go of Hopkins because Carp had one good year it was a huge mistake. Hopkins could have kicked here for 15 years.
Big C Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I think when he let go of Hopkins because Carp had one good year it was a huge mistake. Hopkins could have kicked here for 15 years.Yep. Easy hindsight decision but Carp was stellar early on and was brought in because Hopkins was hurt. And didn't he get hurt the second preseason too? I don't remember. Although for as many weeks as we've been willing to keep two kickers wemail probably could have kept Hopkins a little longer. Edited December 24, 2016 by Big C
Marty McFly Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I hope he gets a painful form of incurable herpes. Hope you find another team. You had one job Carpenter. Their kicker made a 55 yarder under pressure. WTF. to all of your comments.
Maury Ballstein Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I hope his stupid wife leaves him for Mason Crosby. I hope she leaves him for Al Del Greco "Can I kick it?" No, you can't. Lol.
#34fan Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I hope his stupid wife leaves him for Mason Crosby. Or, in a strange twist, Richard Sherman!
baskingridgebillsfan Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Merry Christmas. You are fired Get him out
Tipster19 Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Schmidt needs to go as well! Oh yeah, that idiot needs to go as well. Why in the world didn't the Bills kick the tires on Robbie Gould??! Oh, that's right, because they ain't got no !@#$ing kicker on the whole damn team!
BaaadThingsMan Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Bill Grammattica is a drug rep nowadays, maybe he can get carp a job
PromoTheRobot Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 im confused, so your ok with the way he plays or think he is good? He isn't the worst kicker in the NFL this year but missing two in a game this big is a firing offense. I think when he let go of Hopkins because Carp had one good year it was a huge mistake. Hopkins could have kicked here for 15 years.Kickers are like pitchers. Hot one season, ice cold the next.
Sandy McFiddish Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I hope I never see him suit up in a Bills uni again. Sign Gay for next week and cut Carp. 100% agreed He isn't the worst kicker in the NFL this year but missing two in a game this big is a firing offense. Kickers are like pitchers. Hot one season, ice cold the next. He isn't the worst kicker in the NFL this year but missing two in a game this big is a firing offense. Kickers are like pitchers. Hot one season, ice cold the next. Hopkins only had 1 real major miss causing the European tiethis year, and we believed enough in him to use a 6th round pick the year before.
Nitro Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 He ran out the back door and fled into the night. Shows how much of a stand up guy he is. Face the reporters and explain the two misses and the short kick offs. Might as well look for a post football job.
xsoldier54 Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I think Rex has ruined Carpenter as well. Carpenter was a very reliable kicker before Rex messed with his head in PRE-SEASON for missing a couple of kicks. Ever since then he looks like he's scared that he's kicking for his job on every single kick. Just get rid of the clown of a coach and the kicker will return to form.
Mark Vader Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I feel bad for Carpenter. He had 2 outstanding years when he arrived. He should have gone to the Pro Bowl his first year. I don't know what happened afterwards.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I feel bad for Carpenter. He had 2 outstanding years when he arrived. He should have gone to the Pro Bowl his first year. I don't know what happened afterwards. It's the life of a kicker. Most go south after a year or two.
QB Bills Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 He cost us the game and a shot at the playoffs with the missed field goals and putrid kickoffs. Then tucked his tail between his legs and ran before facing the music. Being a loser sucks. But being a spineless loser? Go away and never come back.
apuszczalowski Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I couldn't agree more! I'll be disappointed if he's still on the roster come morning!he could even hit the post, he would look like he's gonna hit it and then miss it wide just as he gets up to it. I feel bad for Carpenter. He had 2 outstanding years when he arrived. He should have gone to the Pro Bowl his first year. I don't know what happened afterwards. he had one good year after being just as bad as he's been the last 2 years for the dolphins. I've said it since last year that he is garbage but kept hearing how clutch he was and that he was hurt or Rex messed with him by bringing in others to look at for his job. He is done, and has been for a while. His one good year here was more of a fluke then the norm
Koufax Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Kicking isn't a place where you can fail a lot and stick around. Seems like a nice dude, and I wish him success elsewhere, but he has missed too many kicks, and his job is just to make lots of kicks. Bye Dan.
Big Gun Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Carp is no more inconsistent than the QB and everybody wants to keep the QB and give him a huge raise. The Bills can win with Carp, they can get to the playoffs with Carp if the defense was better. Carp is good enough, who is out there that is better?
Boatdrinks Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Carp is no more inconsistent than the QB and everybody wants to keep the QB and give him a huge raise. The Bills can win with Carp, they can get to the playoffs with Carp if the defense was better. Carp is good enough, who is out there that is better? It's a bit different evaluating a QBs overall game vs a kicker's. A K has two jobs . A) kick the ball through the uprights. B) kick the ball off deep into or thru the end zone . Carp does not do B well at all. He has grown very ,very inconsistent at A). He isn't good enough and there is no strong area to make up for a weaker one. He's not clutch, and his excellent 2014 season gets farther in the rear view every game.
