So we did a great job upgrading the punter position...

Lee averaged 47 with a long of 76 that completely flipped field position.

But Gano  missed a 50 yarder in Denver For The Win that was a 42 yarder anywhere else.

We need a money place kicker, all the whining and complaining you'll be reading for the next week never should have happened.

We have a major Achilles' heel at the 5 second mark in close games.

Cant say I didnt cringe when it came down to our weakest unit. At some point you have to go out and get a real ST coach.

Gano hasent hit a big kick in his life he's a fuging choke artist, I knew he wasn't hitting it.  We need a real kicker seriously, I don't care that he can kick it from 69 he doesn't ever hit it in a real game.  He missed the same in the super bowl

Colts/Panthers last year? 50 yard FG ftw in OT? *After* nailing the previous one to tie it and keep the game going?

Should of been a lot shorter of a FG attempt but Panthers had to waste a timeout on reviewing the horrible spot earlier in the quarter so they could challenge the play. How the ref spotted the ball where he did when only his lower leg was past the first down marker is beyond me.

There is always an excuse for the Panthers special teams 

Jansen gets paid a lot of money to just snap for kicks 

gano gets paid a lot of money to kick field goals 

we just gave  up a 4th round draft pick for a punter / holder 

If they aren't missing tackles on returns, they fail to do

their jobs in points execution

this isn't college  this isn't high school and Gano was let go previously for exactly the same reason

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
