What was the explanation for punting on the Jets 33 yard line?

Well, the real problem….is Rhule going into the season with a guy that had shown for a half decade he wasn’t a NFL FG kicker.   Just a very bad kickoff specialist. 

hard to champion Rhule for a problem of his own creation.  

I agree with that... "It could be worse" isn't much of an endorsement heh

I suspect we will see a fake kick/punt in the next two weeks tbh. He called what 6 or 7 last season? This may just be him getting it on film that we would punt.

I think it was just a gamble he chose to try that had minimal to no impact on the outcome of the game.  

Rhules a gambler, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.  This is a nothing burger.

That he certainly is and In the moment he probably wasn't thinking about it that way but I'd be surprised if wasnt now.

I’m pretty sure Matt Rhule and company simply went into the season with a guy they didn’t and had no reason to trust…..so they punted.  
 

I like a good football conspiracy theory.  But even I’m not buying it was all to set up a fake punt from the 33 later.

Fake fg maybe, I'm just saying I bet we see a fake kick in the next few weeks.

Slye had the upside of a massive leg, Santos was maxed out in the 40 yard range.

I doubt that.  He made a 52 yarder in preseason.

I do think he had issues with kicking a little low.  And maybe we should have cut him, but I am not sure the guy we are picking up is an improvement.

He barely made a 52 yarder and it was a bounce in, I'm betting in practice that was the maximum extent of his range. For all his shortfalls and inaccuracies Slyle had the leg to hit from 70.

Not sure about the new guy or Santos, quite possible we were better off with Slye.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
