I am kind of surprised you are fighting tooth and nail to defend the kicker immediately after a game where he had 2 chances in FG range to win the game.

Good kickers make the kick with the game on the line.

This one missed two in the same game.

I don't care if he hit all 3 PAT's last week.

He is not a good kicker, despite how well he hits PATs. 

Good kickers are clutch.   Pinerio was not today.

 

I'm not defending the kicker.  I am defending the coaching strategy and playing it safe for the FG in OT on the 15 yard line with his 4th string QB starting.  People are pissed at that strategy.  He was making 48 yard FGs in our Saints win without issues and has been fine all year kicking.   I get his missed 2 total, but that PAT was a long kick.

So you want to keep Pinerio over Gonzalez?  WTF?

You are missing the point.  My point is just because a kicker was signed during the season doesn't mean he will be terrible which was YOUR logic.  "No other teams wanted him because he sucks." Gonzalez was my proof that isn't always the case.

The PAT was well within his range. 

Playing it overly safe and not trusting our O has cost has two games now.  The pattern is clear. 

Wilks doesn't have the talent to play oldschool, super-conservative.  RR had Cam to save his ass over and over.

Wilks 's going to lose a lot of games playing that way.

Well, he was terrible today sooo...

Yeah and the Bengals kicker was terrible against the Steelers.  It happens sometimes.  He had missed ONE 48 yard extra point at the time we were playing for the FG on the 15 yard line.  I'm sorry but it's the right call.  If PJ threw a pick you would be crying we didn't run it with Foreman because he was playing great all game.

Which part?

Lose when the other team scores more than 17.  Check

Lose by less than a score.  Check

Defense fall apart late game.  Check

Lose.  Check

 

Scored 34 points (tie, only once before)

Come from behind to take a team to OT on the road (never)

Got in a second half shootout.  (Rare if ever)

Team didn't fold after conceding a late score (Rare, if ever)

*Same team, but I can see a difference.

You cannot win in the NFL perpetually afraid that your QB is going to throw a pick.  Pinerio missed more kicks in  that game than PJ threw picks.

Sheesh.

      Strength of Schedule

      By chknwing · Posted

      I'm looking at the schedule and I see a 10+win season easy.  I think Carolina goes undefeated in the division.  I also believe that the Bears, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Steelers are very winnable.  Revenge game with phillips and the eagles could be a win.  Honestly only 2 games I see as chalking up a L to off the bat is the Seahawks and Broncos.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
