I still believe in Eddy Pineiro

I get he's cracked in big moments to win games before (tbh I've kind of forgotten but fans here say that so), but those misses were not big moments. Those were routine mental misses that I think he can get over and don't indicate long term much of anything. I bet he would have redeemed himself in OT if given the chance.

Oh well, next game.

they said during the KC game he was hurt and it would limit what they could ask of him.   I wonder if he is still just nursing something.  Overall those were non-pressure easy kicks....which is what he built his resume on as being the most accurate kicker in NFL history doing. 

Yeah. He needs surgery and needs the fluid drained from his knee weekly??

regardless a middling kicker.

He had a bad game.  Eddy is still among the League's most accurate kickers.  Both of his misses were narrowly so.  They were not outright shanks. Prior to yesterday, he'd missed one FG all year and he's been perfect on PATs.  Eddy will be okay.  He was solid all last year too, but had that one stinker game.  I'll keep a kicker that's solid 16 of 17 games a year.

Eddie has kept us in far more games than he has lost us. This an aberration for him. No telling if anything else was going on. No kick is an easy kick. If he gets the yips off hen different story. 

Very true. I'm pretty sure Bryce would be winless without Eddy, so......

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
