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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
