Yes, the block wasn't his fault, 100% on the blocking unit and his missed PAT was by a hair.  Missed kicks will happen, you have to look at how they were missed.  Slye was utterly shanking kicks.  Gonzalez just slightly misjudged his angle.

I don't mind a field goal/xp miss every now and then

Not getting the ball past the 10 yard line on kick offs is a much bigger issue

Lol we face Joey Slye on Thursday night. He missed a short FG on Sunday for the Texans. Watch him boot like three 60yd FGs for an inept Texans offense on Thursday 

With the scrub rookie at QB they may never even have the field position to attempt a 60 yard FG...

The short kickoffs are a huge concern for me. If he can't do better than that he will be out of here in a few weeks.

This was what really worries me. Even when his kick offs reached the end zone, it was just by a hair. We apparently don't have the coverage team to risk the run backs. I'd feel a lot better if he was booming them past the end line like Slye did. 

It's hard to march 75 yards down the field on this defense.

In the presser Rhule said this is on purpose and they will continue to cover kicks going forward.

Now is he just saying that b/c our kickers suck, dunno but he did say covering kicks was going to be a thing and that they had planned for it.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
