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

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
