In Hindsight, Still Think Keeping Gano over Butker was a Huge Mistake.

We've missed consistency since Kasay, and Gano is still unreliable despite a strong showing so far this year.  I hadn't kept up with Butker since his first game with KC until tonight...  he is a rookie, has made 11 straight attempts and just drilled a 53 yarder right down the middle, and again, he's younger and cheaper than Gano.  I know, no use in crying over spilled milk, but Hurney screwed up here.

We should've gone young for sure. They are about equal but Butker is much younger and cheaper. Should've kept Lee (Palardy looked good in preseason, but just like last year, has been terrible this year, easily bottom 5) and Butker. Should've went with the opposite combo of young/old. But whatever, we can still win it this year and right now that's all I'm focusing on. I'm not enough of a masochist to be looking towards our future under Hurney and JR...

I think it's a bit too early to proclaim that Buttkicker will be something "special".  Gano has kicked very well this year. In the controversial no field goal attempts this year, where a different kicker could have played a roll in the season.  I don't see RR allow Buttkicker to kick the ones he didn't let Gano kick. Also, with Buttkicker, he was a built in excuse, "...didn't want to put a rookie in that position..."

 Nonetheless, I wish Buttkicker nothing but the best. I always like an Andy Reid coached team and he landed in a great place.

      Predictions from observer staff on game today

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Game predictions All three of our predictors guessed last week that the Panthers would lose to the Miami Dolphins. All were wrong. That moves Fowler to 4-1 on the year, with Kaye and Zietlow each at 1-4. Fowler: Panthers 30, Dallas 27. The Cowboys are known for playing entertaining games this season due to a high-powered offense and low-level defense. I think Carolina pulls the mild upset here, with Bryce Young playing about as well as Dak Prescott and Carolina’s running game providing the difference. Bonus prediction: Tetairoa McMillan scores his first NFL TD. Kaye: Cowboys 33, Panthers 30.  The top offense in the league is likely to come out firing on Sunday, as Dallas looks to get over the .500 hump after five games (including one tie). Will the Panthers be able to keep pace? I actually think they will, for the most part. There’s a lot of boom-or-bust to the Cowboys’ defense, and while the unit is starting to find its footing, I think Bryce Young will still have a good afternoon. Look for Tetairoa McMillan to catch his first touchdown pass in a shootout. But I still think Dallas has a better brand of ball at the moment.   Zietlow: Cowboys 35, Panthers 31.                    I look at the Cowboys’ league-worst third-down percentage as a defense and can’t help but feel some optimism. Tag that with the other opportunities this defense could allow for Bryce Young, and a motivated Rico Dowdle, and a refreshed Xavier Legette ... and there’s excitement, for sure. Still, the Cowboys have gone toe-to-toe with the NFL’s best this season. Their quarterback is electric. Their tight end is prolific. Their defensive secondary is due for one of its patented turnover bonanzas. And to top it all off ... the Panthers will have a “home field advantage” in name only. There will be a lot of Cowboys fans in the crowd. A lot. It just doesn’t add up to a Panthers win to me. I’m rolling with America’s Team.
