Was Swayze... that bad?

He was shanking punts from the left hash. I mean, that's not good. 

Scifres was having a few problems as well, but he probably got the benefit of doubt for coming off injury and being rusty.

We are a directional punting team. We need our punters to be a little more accurate.

Got it.. he is a good punter.. just not Directional.

I'm a little surprised the punter situation isn't discussed more. Our special teams unit as a whole was atrocious for so long that when we were able to raise the bar to even a smidge above mediocre/decent it seemed all was forgotten. I would rather not return to those dark days of holding my breath when our special teams takes the field.

Disappointing this isn't about Patrick Swayze.

Oh well, it is now. No he wasn't bad, I love rewatching Red Dawn, Ghost, Point Break, and even his small part in Donnie Darko. Haven't seen North and South in a while though.

the greatest work Patrick Swayze ever did was his SNL skit with Farley

I guess I'm confused by all this "we're a directional punting team".  I can't count how many times in the past we've punted in right in the goddamn middle of the field even when we shouldn't have.

Maybe they were fug-ups. Maybe they were intentional, but here is the theory behind directional punting for anyone that wants to know.

    • No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"
    • Chiefs had zero penalties last night
    • You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
