It comes full circle, live by FGs, die by FGs. Until we control the tempo & pace of the game, it’s a coin flip of what team kicker screws up. That’s the process 2
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Laces out! He lost us the game, along with another pathetic showing on offense.

CommonCents Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 I drank way too much last weekend and wasn’t 100 percent but I got out of bed on Monday. Nobody cares!? Damn. Just kick the ball. I’d have cut his behind before the plane left the runway. Sorry, the plane isn’t feeling well we need to cut dead weight. 1
CheshireCT Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Human beings aren’t robots. Have you ever had a bad day or felt a bit “off?” He has been a very steady and reliable kicker for the Bills, so there is nothing to complain about. You would expect him to make the first kick, while kicks over 50 yards are a risk for any kicker. Find a replacement, and surely the new kicker will have a bad game sometime too. 1

GottaRun Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Must be contagious, I wasn't feeling right mentally after his 34 yard miss. 1

You are only as good as your last kick, and the last kicks have been disastrous You don't honestly believe that, do you? Every great kicker suddenly sucks after a miss? Sounds like something you'd pull out from down under...and I don't mean Australia. 1 1
BillsShredder83 Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Yall are knee jerk af. Every kicker doesn't go through this? Dudes had a clutch career. Let him ride it out, and see if he can fix it. 6 1

It's a major trend since his injury last year. It seems he would have had enough time to work through that. And of course we've all had bad days. But if we're worth our salt, we suck it up and perform in spite of our sickness, mental or physical. 1
Warcodered Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 I mean sure I know the easy joke is "well thank god he felt off because if he thought he was in the zone and still missed that'd really suck" but I'm still glad we have him over the circus at kicker other teams are going through.

Yes! In this business, you are not called upon very often. This team is only asking you for a few months of your time. Plenty of time to prepare and be your best. No excuses...and you are paid well.

Nextmanup Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Regarding the question posted by the OP, I think any kicker is in a tough spot. On the one hand he has an obligation to report on how he feels on a given game day and try to find his range pre-game with wind, maybe a nagging injury of sorts, field conditions, etc. The coaching staff needs to know what he thinks he can do in both directions on that day prior to game time. But by the same token, he has to stay bottled up and doesn't want to talk too much about feeling off because if he keeps that up for long, he'll be out of a job. Not sure how these guys balance both concerns. If I was his coach I would ask him to be 100% honest so I could make the best decisions in the game for the good of the team.
