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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
