Joey Slye is tied for 26th in FG percentage this year

He's 15/21 for a percentage of 71%. 20/22 on extra points.

Gano, the guy that was getting death threats the past few years, was 14/16 on field goals last year for a percentage of 88% and 13th in the league.

Remind me why we all hate Gano yet worship Slye again?

EDIT: Slye has missed twice as many field goals this year as Gano missed in 2017 and 2018...combined.

Gano has missed game winning/critical kicks in the regular season and playoffs and it has costed us. So far this season all three of our losses would have been Ls with or without him.

It’s not just you. Saw a stat that we are at a record for most missed kicks through week 9 in NFL history with something like 121 and the old record was around 100.

It’s been discussed.


Slye is a rookie, isn’t paid to be a top 5 kicker with bottom half stats, and is attempting kicks we for seasons avoided with Gano. Gano is a seasoned vet and was over paid. 

I think everyone just has lower expectations for Slye vs. thinking he has the long term solution. He has the leg power which you can’t teach. The things he needs to work on he will.

The real tragedy is Butker. Rivera seems to favor Gano to a fault but wouldn’t ever attempt 35-45 year sets with him.

Over the last few years actually.

A while back, the NFL decided they wanted to make extra points harder. They appear to have succeeded

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
