4th Quarter Joey Slye is abysmal

[TN05]

66% in the 4th quarter in his career. That’s unacceptable.

[Moo Daeng]

I'm not defending his lack of clutch ability but to look at all angles....what are the distances of those attempts? Just trying to understand those

I've seen people here mention the two 60 plus attempts shouldn't be held against him. Thats fair....though when you take those 2 out he's 1 of 4 from 50+ which is still one of the worst percentages in the NFL.

[DeAngelo Beason]

Powerful leg, but inconsistent.  That's about all there is to it.  The game shouldn't have come down to a field goal either way.   

[Shotgun]

We got a big leg kicker with no accuracy and accurate qb with no arm. Go figure.

Time to surgically implant Slyes leg on Bridgewaters shoulder.

Maybe the team can find a 3rd PK to pay this year and that should solve the problem.

Still seeing a lot of excuses for a guy when Gano didn’t get a pass and was arguably more consistently clutch in tight game scenarios.

This.

If he's 14 of 21 and all 21 attempts are in excess of 50, I'll take it all day.

He was more consistent but he was also kept on the bench at times because Ron didn't think he could make a kick in the 40s. Thats as worrisome as a kicker who misses. Add in that contract when we had Butker and it was a recipe for a lot of discontent. I'm not mad at Gano, I'm mad at Hurney for paying him what he did with a rookie who looked just as good on our roster.

I love Ron but that might be more of a slight on him. Not trusting your kicker but keeping guys in past their prime is a little contradictory to say the least.

If you're not a Gano apologist, you can't be a Slye apologist! Dude isn't clutch in really the slightest little bit. They need to slyede him right on outta here forthwith!

It makes that a lot more obvious when you see that he is 12 of 13 from 40+ this year(4 of 5 from 50+). A lot of things can directly be attributed to Ron being Ron.

Not to mention he had a string of bad luck with injuries. A healthy Gano has always been a beast. If he wasn’t healthy enough to get the job done that’s hardly his fault unless he is pulling a Cam and not being honest with himself or coaching/medical staff.

So he was injured every year but 2017 when his coach wouldn’t let him kick it 50 yds. When was he ever a “beast”?
