Lots of Kickers Sucking

[Brit patriot]

Is it me or are there just loads and loads of kickers this year who look like they have never padded up before. Not just rookies, experienced guys as well!

Makes you feel warm and fuzzy that we have Ghost!

Props that you posted this before Carpenter missed his 30-yarder for Buffalo.

One of Bill's most underrated GM decisions. The Around the NFL podcast team joke about Patriot fans sitting on a Throne of Ease*. Watching the kicking fails today around the league, they're not far wrong.

* Because of the coaching and Brady.

Seems like a lot of teams are sucking this year so far which i i think 19-0 isn't to far fetched

FWIW, we should remember that even SG3 has gone through a case or two of the yips over the years.

Vikings kicker just shanked one. D'oh!

Stephen Gostkowski sitting at home

And let's not forget that the year before Gostkowski replaced Vinateri, Robbie Gould was camp competition.

BB knows who to keep - that's for sure.

It seems that the more challenging extra point has them a bit skittish... not Gostowski though.

Vinateri isn't sucking. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/vinatieris-field-goals-leads-colts-past-jaguars-16-205221054--nfl.html

I watched the JAX/IND game. JAX could have won the game 3 times with a kick!

From Reddit:

Lord Belichick has the best kicker in the business (please, Vinatieri was last decade) and got the competition committee to agree to more difficult kicks.

I am beginning to wonder if he can move back and forth through time.

The thing about Ghost is that not only is he making the EP, they're absolutely right down the center every time.

We are so lucky here in NE...AV and now SG....two studs

Interestingly enough, the league FG rate through the first 3 weeks (I haven't seen the stats for this week yet) is almost exactly the same as last year; both are 84–85%.

I can't even imagine what kickers are going to start being paid in free agency now.

And, oh hey Ghost was just locked up. Weird how BB is ahead on everything.

Saints just miss a win on a missed kick ... epic thread.
