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.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
