How is this possible?

It happened to the Steelers this year and they didn't have a back up either. I mean you don't really count on the kicker getting hurt sometimes poo happens

I understand that, but at least know who your emergency kicker is. Taking a poll right before the game is pathetic.

WFT went through the same two weeks ago, and had the same results as us. They had to go for 2pt conversion the rest of their games, and their punter (tress way) had not attempted a field goal since 2009. It’s not like these punters, are asked to practice field goals at practice… that’s like asking a receiver to take hand offs and run HB dives and zone reads…..  what we saw today is normal in the NFL, unless you are a franchise that’s fortunate to have a dual threat Punter.

How is it possible that our punter has never attempted a kick off or a short fg? It’s hard to fathom. 

 Because he is a punter and not a kicker.  Why hasn’t our long snapper ever played WR?  Hard to fathom

I guess I always took it for granted that teams know their personel and what happens if a kicker gets injured. 

 

Apparently we had never even addressed it. Tall about a poo show. 

Hey genius. How many football games have you watched, and how many times has this happened. If you post like it’s a general occurrence to fit your fire Rhule narrative, fine. Say that. You have a punter who is punter specific, it’s the risk you run. Deal with it.

    • Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.
    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
    • We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
