It's easy, and only takes a few moments.for some reason .... hmmm ... gee i wonder why that might have upset some peopleFor some reason he takes an inordinate amount of blame for missing an extra point in the 1st quarter of a playoff game in Denver just because the game came down to an XP at the end.
Let's see how we feel about that in the closing seconds of a close game in December or January...Good for him. Don’t miss him.
Lot of posturing here, whistling past that kicking graveyard. Belicheck is great, but he ain't perfect. Not finding a team-acceptable way of keeping Gost was an obvious mistake.
Not nearly as obvious a mistake as not finding a suitable replacement.Lot of posturing here, whistling past that kicking graveyard. Belicheck is great, but he ain't perfect. Not finding a team-acceptable way of keeping Gost was an obvious mistake.
And what would this board been like if he was signed for $3M (or retained for $5M) and started the season as he did?What makes you think he would have come back after the team released him?
Not pretty for a week. On the other hand, if we'd signed him, he would have been in camp not coming in cold off the street and likely /wouldn't/ have started as he did. Remember, he had something like two practices with the team, if that.And what would this board been like if he was signed for $3M (or retained for $5M) and started the season as he did?
Wish we had a Kicker like him.6 for 6 today from 30, 31, 39, 51, 54 and 55 yards.
give it some time.Good for him. Don’t miss him.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Gostkowski still unsigned when we started becoming flush with cap room, the point being that if Bill really wanted him to return, he could've quite easily signed him?Literally makes NO sense to have kept Gost when the only reason we were able to sign Cam Newton was with our last 1M of cap space. So this is the biggest no brainer ever. Cam Newton 1000X times over and over instead of Gost.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I'd be surprised if a team was allowed to release a player under contract and then resign him for less. I suppose it's possible, but I'd think we'd see a lot more of it.Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Gostkowski still unsigned when we started becoming flush with cap room, the point being that if Bill really wanted him to return, he could've quite easily signed him?

You might consider responding to the point others actually make. But then I guess your need to posture gets the better of you.Yeah, being an NFL GM is pretty easy. Maybe you should send your resume to the Lions. They're going to have some job openings soon.

Yes, they could have re-signed Gost after they freed up cap space, had both sides wanted it.
Same way as when Gostkowski was kicking for the Patriots. He could kick longer but inside 40 yard and XP he appeared to be the same as Folk.Let's see how we feel about that in the closing seconds of a close game in December or January...
