Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread - Week 2 Pats @ Dolphins

[Kdo5]

lmfao getting called out for liking our 2nd best kicker of all time, sick burn bro

Is it acceptable to criticize his performance, ever?

 

[sieglo]

Anyone who thought the Pats would do anything but take a knee there is smoking some ****ed up ****.

 

[PatsBoy12]

I forgot how bad the GDT can be. My god.

And I can't believe there are still people who seem to get annoyed whenever someone points out something that's actually a fair point. The fact is Gost hasn't been the same since that shank in the 2015 AFCCG. That's rather obvious at this point.

 

[PP2]

AB has totally owned Wiltz, but Gordon is the one forcing that kind of matchup because he is drawing Howard in coverage.

So without doing a thing, Gordon is still influencing the game.

 

[Uptown]

The defense has got to play better!

 

[Froob]

Dolphins really might get shutout

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

The kicking game is very much a concern here. The problem is finding someone out there that's better. I really hope games don't come down to his right leg.

I hear this every year. I'm not ready to call it a concern yet. Ghost has had a bad game. I need to see a trend before I call it a concern.

Fouts would be better, or at least potentially more interesting, if he drank heavily during the games.

I always thought he gave commentary remotely from his living room couch.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

I took MIA getting 19...nervous but Ghost helping a bit

 

[Th3Birdman]

The way Gunner just got hit, I for sure thought he'd be down.

Dude's tough as ****. Reminds me of Edelman a lot.

...might be decent in the slot...

Belichick seems like the sort of guy to totally forget to evaluate a position responsible for the 2nd most points on the team.

Your not going to find someone off the street who’s better.

 

[Kdo5]

All y'all jumping on Gost know he's working with a new holder, right?

There’s always an excuse waiting for him.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Mayo is directing a monster defense! They are getting after it for all 3 levels!

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

is it Ghost or the holder?

If that's the case, get rid of the holder. I've been saying it for the last few seasons and catching a bunch of grief.

[patsrj]

The defense looks so dominant.. A level above the others teams

 

[mgcolby]

Fouts would be better, or at least potentially more interesting, if he drank heavily during the games.

Are you sure he doesn't?

Fair point = "Gost has missed a FGA and a PAT. He's having a bad game."
Not fair point = "Gost sucks!", "Gost has to go!", "OMG, I can't believe BB hasn't brought in competition for Gost!"


Note the difference

I appreciate your assistance in making my point.

Next year we need a new kicker

We might need a new kicker. But it appears part of the problem (but hardly the only one) is that the holder isn't placing the ball straight into the air. If anyone is an expert at place kicking, does it seem the holding is contributing to these struggles?

If the coaches clean up everything with the exception of Ghost, we'll see if his confidence and effectiveness grows. If not, it would be worth at least having other players visit for the job.
