I dont know if this is just me but it seems like gostowski isnt what he used to be. he missed important field goals during the season and it seemed like almost all of his kicks werent making it to the endzone or werent getting touchbacks. Is it time to draft a new kicker. Caleb sturgis or the guy from FSU? I think its time

What a terrible thread.

honestly what makes this a terrible thread ive watched the patriots the whole season and thats what ive noticed i dont see whats wrong with putting out an idea

He was 29 of 35 in the regular season and 4 of 4 in the playoffs, good not great. His kickoffs are generally good. Also, he hasn't missed a FG since Week 13. He did miss some important kicks earlier in the season (e.g., against the Cardinals). But I would still be very comfortable with Gostkowski in a must-make situation.

I agree that it isn't a terrible thread. It's worth discussing, even though I'm fine with Gostowski. We're paying a kicker top 3 kicker money who is just an average kicker, no incredible leg strength or accuracy.

This just in...It was windy yesterday and me thinks that the kickoff team didn't want to give Jacoby Jones a full head of steam.

Ghost didn't have a Ghost year but hes the least of this teams problems.

good points im not saying we need a new kicker i was just putting the idea out there to see what people think

Everyone who reads my posts knows that I've never been sold on Gostkowski in the clutch, but he's among the best in the League day by day. Yesterday's wind gusts made it difficult for anyone who had to put the ball in the air: K or QB.

Bottom Line: yeah, I'd rather have someone else, but the Pats have a lot more urgent needs to address, so I'd put this one on the back burner. I'd maybe bring an UDFA in for a tryout or, if an outstanding prospect is still on the board in the sixth round, I'd think about it. Otherwise, no.

as rough a year as ghost had, hes not the reason that the patriots put up 13 points last night.
