This dumbass org will probably stick with pineiro over Gonzalez next season and it will bite us in the ass.

I’m actually okay with keeping Piniero over Gonzalez. The latter has finished the last couple of seasons on IR which makes me question his durability going forward. We need consistency in our kicking game.

A kicker can be clutch but lose games by missing kicks in none clutch situations. 
 

Eddy P is converting over 90% and I’m grateful to have him. He’s contributed to wins, but hasn’t had a sexy game winning walk off kick, and when he had the chance he blew it (twice).

He had a bad game, but the total body of work is great as a whole.

And the injuries just happened randomly in warmups.  Availability is an important factor.

If this board did not over-react to a single game's events (good or bad), it would have about ten new threads a week.

I appreciate @TN05 for owning up to it.  Most others just act like they didn't say it or double down and then act like they never said any of it.  I guess they figure if it works for Reps, Senators, and Presidents, it should work for them.

Fans overrate.  It's what we do.  It's why half of this board wants Darnold running the offense next year and the other half wants him out of the league.  The correct answer is usually some where in the middle.

Wilks is not just sticking with guys because there are there, or because they are vets.  Sticking with Piniero looks like a good decision.  Dumping Anderson...also a good decision.  He did not hesitate to cut coaches as well.  Many have called him a Rivera-Foxy clone, but I am seeing something different.

Like most everyone else here, I was calling for Eddy Piniero’s head after the Atlanta game - but sticking with him has been the right choice.

Piniero is now 2nd in the league in both field goals made (31) and field goal accuracy (93.9%) and 7th in field goals attempted (33). Since the Atlanta game, he’s 17/17 in field goals and has made three field goals in each of the the last four games.

Making a kneejerk move based off of a single bad game would have likely led to a downgrade in kicker quality.

Truth is Im still hot about that one game, but you are right and wilks was right too. Eddie has shown he belongs, fuging hate that one game went down.

Stats on low pressure situations means nothing

He had 2 shots to make short field goals and missed them both, 1 would be understandable, but 2 in less than 15 minutes , are we sure he didn't have money on the Falcins

If I was the coach, he would have been cut before he came off the field in Atlanta 

I will bump this thread when he costs us the playoffs by the way

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
