In a grand turnabout, no QB's involved in the thread!

So I was just browsing stats now that we're halfway through the season and came across this . . . 

FG %

XP %

Not that there is much we can do about it . . . but . . . bottom 25% of the league in both stats is definitely concerning to me.

more concerned w/ the blocking up front. 

Syle is what he is.  A big footed kicker.  He will miss some.  Trade off is he will give you a shot at kicks others can't. 

Lot of pressure getting through of late impacting kicks.  That is my bigger concern.

Seems to me the blocks and some misses were due to guys crashing from the edges or coming right up the middle. Seems like Slye isn't necessarily the biggest concern.

Stat is skewed a bit by blocks, kicks that would’ve been blocked had he not kicked around the defender (which is why it was missed) and a free kick attempt that was very long and never practiced... 1 PAT missed is not horrific, even Justin Tucker missed one last night.

Hmm...interesting...Slye is not as accurate as Gano....imagine that.

 

LOL at everyone who was so dead set on cutting Gano for Slye this preseason. Gano going on IR was not as good a thing as everyone thought.

we blew it by not keeping butker. Dave's final gift and we threw it in the trash for Ganope

I don’t think he is the long term answer. We need to go find a K this offseason. Gano isn’t it either. Draft one late and bring in a UDFA. Let them compete for it. I definitely don’t want to go pull one off the trash heap right now. Would much rather stick with Slye than what is out there currently.

I mean, that was literally his exact FG% (71.4) in 3 of his 4 college seasons including his final year...so no one should be particularly surprised except for those who were trying to argue in the preseason that we shouldn’t pay any attention to his college performance.

His insane leg strength is such an asset that I’m still holding onto hope that he can improve his consistency.

Stat is skewed, kicker not the biggest concern, opposing team crashing the edges, kicked around a defender.....

Why didn't Gano get all these excuses?

The Gano hatred is so obvious, half of you would trot Stevie Wonder out there and be searching for excuses why he missed just to keep Gano off the field.

Gano? You’re joking right?

you do realize we didn’t even attempt kicks Slye is attempting with Gano and he’s a rookie and he’s not injured AND he’s paid in gummy bears.

come on man. It’s not the same thing.

 The anyone should be pissed about anything it’s the incompetent staff letting Butker go.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      By X-Clown · Posted

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
