Teach bailey how to kick. He has a strong leg, how hard can it be?

Carli lloyd she'd be some great pr deflection from brown.

Hell, Bozo the Clown could kick better than ghost at this point, even with his clown shoes.

Regular season (NFL doesn't include Post Season in Career stats on player pages)
2016 - 40-49 = 9/10 50+ = 2/4 11/14 = 78.6%
2017 - 40-49 = 8/11 50+ = 4/4 12/15 = 80%
2018 - 40-49 = 4/6 50+ = 2/5 6/11 = 54% <------ minor concern.

2018 Missed 40+ FGs :
54 yard against JAX
50 yard against BUF
52 yd against TEN
48 yd against MIN
42 yd against MIA
*46 yd against LAR

* - missed in SB.

of the 6 Missed 40+ yd FGs, only the 42 yarder should have been a gimmie, though it was in MIAMI where Gostkowski has had issues since 2011.

Missed FGs in Miami for Gost:
2011 - Missed 48 yd FG 1/2
2012 - Missed 49 yd FG 3/4
2013 - Missed 48 yd FG 2/3
2014 - No Misses 2/2
2015 - Missed 46 yd FG 1/2
2016 - Missed 52 yd FG 2/3
2017 - no misses 2/2
2018 - Missed 42 yd FG 2/3
2019 - Missed 48 yd FG 1/2

Totals: 16/23 = 69.6%

You all acting like missing the long FG and the 2 XP, one of which was definitely Bailey's fault is Gostkowski's issue. You completely ignore reality in that he's had issues making long FGs there in Miami in the past. And you ignore the issue with the holder. And Bailey was off on the hold for the missed FG as well.. But you all refuse to blame him. You act like Bailey has ZERO to do with it.

BB would totally trash your evaluations because you can't be bothered to look at everything. Those of us railing against you ARE looking at everything and disagree with your analysis and your conclusions because you refuse to look at everything.

BB will disagree, but he also puts the blame where it belongs. Something you're incapable of doing. And you've shown that time and again. And then you whine and complain about people taking you to task because they show facts and not your kneejerk emotional BS reaction.

There is no one available out there that’s better. I think if BB had any doubts about Ghost, he’d have at least brought in camp competition for the summer. He’s not going anywhere.

Yeah Ghost missing is getting old.

He doesn’t get a pass for life just because he’s Stephen Gostkowski. This is a problem. He needs to fix it soon.

I haven't really studied the extra points and FG attempts this season but, if one of the main problems is Bailey's holds, then something needs to be done. I would be surprised if BB didn't address holding for Ghost before he made the decision to cut Allen, so he must have faith that Bailey can do the job. If Bailey can't do it, then something needs to be done. Right now, playing inferior teams, a miss here or there is not critical, but it may become so as the season progresses.
