Here is some food for thought.
Through 15 weeks (and 95 kickoffs)
Gostkowski is averaging 65 YPK. And, if you look, the only reason that Gost's YPK is so low is the one game against Pittsburgh where he averaged only 42.8 YPK on 5 kicks.. Gost's avg is 66.2 without those 4 from Pitt.
The Average return allowed by the Pats is 21.6 YPR.
BTW, the YPR is good for 6th best in the league.
Gostkowski has 34 touchbacks on the year.
Prior to his injury, Gostkowski was averaging just shy of 68 (67.9) YPK.
he'd made 42 kick-offs in 8 games with an average of 24.5 YPR.
And, if you want to talk about Field Goals, Gost was 10-13 through 8 games last year.
People complaining about Gost being 26-31 (the 2nd most FG attempts he's made in his career) need to relax. 3 of the misses have been from 40+ yards.
I'm all for legitimate complaints, but complaining about a guy who is coming off a serious leg injury that directly affects his job performance is one of the things that people need to re-evaluate.
