Id guess some people feel better having him after tonight..



Not too bad on just short of GL kickoffs as well..

Awesome game by Ghost tonight and of course the comparison was stark with the other team's kicker!

Ghost was money. I'm glad we punted deep into Tampa territory, but part of me wishes we just took the likely points considering Ghost is currently in the zone.

I'm honestly not sure how to react if I'm Tampa. Fire Folk? If I were a head coach, I'd have a revolving door of kickers if they bungle the bunnies. There have to be ex-college kickers who can kick better -- and more consistently -- than Folk.

That was a big kick that he made at the end. I've beat up on Gostkowski as much as anybody for his struggles the past season but credit where it's due. It looks like he is back to form. Great game tonight.

They drafted a kicker in the 2nd round and cut him for Folk, oops

It sucks for them. They thought they would get an all-star kicker and instead got the equivalent of the village idiot who also moonlights as the village drunk.

Is that a position they're still hiring for? I have a ton of references.

That last FG, I wanted them to punt, BB is a tough SOB and he sent Ghost there in a difficult situation but they are paid millions for that and Ghost delivered. Great team win, in a day where the offense did not put many points, the defense and special teams carried the team. This builds a lot of confidence and gets the team battle tested.

Aguayo getting his stock raised to borderline first(!)-round status is one of the most impressive media FAILs I've ever seen.

Just consider this:

2013 – 9/10
2014 – 9/12
2015 – 5/10

Those are his stats from 40+ at FSU. They got worse year by year, and he did too, overall (he went from 90%+ his first year down to 80% his third year).
