Eddy saved us from ourselves tbh We win that game, and we most likely win the division. We most likely keep Wilks, draft even later, not be able trade up to #1, and we go into the next 5 years of mediocrity. Eddy is a real one!

People who are butthurt about that game must hate John Kasey. Because he lost way more important games for us than that one.

One game doesn't define a career.

Piniero's percentage was 19 points higher than Butker. What's the fascination with Butker anyway?

He was a younger and cheaper option after a year or two of bad/injured Gano. Also didn't seem like Rivera trusted him to try longer FGs (until the giants game) even though Gano has a cannon leg. Financially it seemed to make more sense to keep Butker and that Gano was on the downswing.

Then we eventually cut Gano and ate money and had Joey Slye, a downgrade from both, While Butker has gone on to be an above average Kicker with ice in his veins and Gano had a career resurgence in NY. It was just bad moves across the board. Vintage Hurney really.

Also, Butker was injured last year so his numbers were down, expect a bounce back year.

I get the feeling that Eddy is mentally tougher than a lot of posters give him credit for. Him getting rattled and missing that kick sealed our defeat and pretty much doomed our chances of taking the division, and everyone on the team and in the stands knew it. Coming back and making every kick for the remainder of the season, with the coach's (who took a chance on him and refused to cut him) job on the line, takes a lot of mental fortitude. I hope he carries it into next season.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
