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.

    • Which would be 8-8-1. An improvement.
    • Not sure who you are talking to. Everybody maybe? Anyhow the family cat woke me up so….  Saturday, I will be in the playoff frame of mind for that game don’t worry about that. Will be living and dying on each play. Pretty sure everyone will be. That is still a few days away though.  Right now it is yes we made the playoffs. Backed into it with some convoluted 3 way tie breaking magic. It took a heroic finish - not by us, but by Atlanta. I don’t hardly know how to feel about it. I don’t feel like we won it. It is just sort of, well okay here we are, somehow. Our number came up. We were lucky. And that is what we were. Not good, lucky.  As far as here, this discussion, I think people rightly feel like, look at the offense. And it is kind of, what offense? They shut our run down and we become totally stagnant. Some people have faith that the QB can beat people with his arm but we aren’t doing it. We went into our bye off a big high. In or tied for, first place. We control our destiny. 4 games to do it. And we freaking finished 1-3. That control our destiny thing? We didn’t control poo when it comes down to it. Lost in the mix is basically a huge collapse. No one really called it out, it got lost in the excitement of the chase. But, 1-3 with the playoffs on the line - every week. Not inspiring. I mean, you don’t call that trending up, and if we hadn’t lucked into the tournament that would be our finish headed into the offseason. Not what you want. And if we don’t win Saturday? 1-4 to finish the year.  Limping out.  Okay that said I do hate going into playoffs on a winning streak because you are almost due to end the streak and that loss ends your season, so dropping One before the elimination games start is almost a comfort. But 1-3 with a 54 yard passing total in one of them? Followed by 14 points in a must win. Hmmm.   I am supposed to be optimistic? Sorry I don’t think I can be. I can hope, that’s different. It has just been a rough 8 years, and the excitement of having a winning record is in the rear view this week. About the only way we can have one is make the NFCCG I think.    Anyhow, on offense, where are the signs that we can beat people who stymie our run game? I suppose it could happen out of the blue but we haven’t really been able to pull that off.  Beating Tampa Bay was good. That was it though. Our other last little bit of glory is two plays on 4th down where they didn’t really pay attention in the back end, somehow, and we got two really nice results.  Not once, but twice back to back. Honestly it was so out of character it felt a little fluky.  And here we are, depending on that to happen Saturday. At least guess is what we are hoping for. Good luck to us.     
    • Yeah that’s how I see the division currently and when I say repeatable I mean wins against teams like GB and the Rams, dominated performances like the first atl game  other playoffs teams we’ve faced we got blown out, team still doesn’t have an identity expect being inconsistent
