Think about it, the Panthers came extremely close to being just as screwed at kicker as the bears or Bucs. It's going to be a tough season to begin with, not having a NFL caliber kicker would make a winning season unlikely. 

God damn we are so lucky to have found Slye when we did. 

That was fuggin close.

These kickers just keep getting stronger and stronger. I have no doubt Ill see a 70 yarder one day.

Gano would pretty regularly hit them from 70 in practice and warmups if the wind was cooperating. Don’t think he could have done it in a game though. Getting the ball over the line and still hitting it that far would be an issue. Maybe in Denver with a good tailwind.

Dont count your chickens before they hatch. All these kickers are capable of making field goals in meaningless games. Will he get the yipps when he misses one though? Gano pissed me off alot and I felt like his misses would come at the worst possible moments but reality is he was incredibly reliable for the most part and thats not always easy to find. Teams like the Vikings, Bucs, Browns always seem to have kicking issues that cost them 2 or so games every year

Yeah the Bears wanted to go young and cheap and moved on from Robbie Gould and haven’t been able to find anyone. Cowboys tried to the same with Dan Bailey and that hasn’t gone super well either. Falcons are having a disaster of a time replacing Matt Bryant who they moved on from for some crazy reason.

Gano might not have been the best kicker but he was at least above average and that’s not an easy thing to replace. Really hope Slye crushes it because the alternative is miserable.

Im glad we found Gano, people must have not been fans long enough to remember the 2 year disaster it was trying to replace Kasay with Olindo Mare and Justin Medlock

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
