    Yeah I'm not in love with the long snapper and I know they've been cycling through them for awhile, as they should. Whelan appears to have improved, he made a great play Sunday on that snap but he wouldn't need to be cut if, in theory, they wanted someone else to hold. Doesn't have to be the punter that holds (though it's probably preferred since it wouldn't drain practice time from another player's usual responsibilities).

    On what percentage of kicks? If this is as big a factor as you and others suggest then why haven't those guys lost their jobs? So far it's 2 kickers fired. Seems to me the team laid the majority of the blame on them.

    OSS quoted a comment by you that was directly tied to Carlson. My mistake if I misinterpreted the ensuing discussion to be relevant specifically to Carlson but it sure seemed that way to me. https://brewerfanatic.com/forums/topic/43177-packers-2024-season-thread/?do=findComment&comment=1626095&_rid=4446

    Missing 7 extra points in five seasons sounds like a dream kicker compared to Carlson who has now missed 6 in 18 games. Edit: Oops, forgive me, if we're including playoffs it's 7 extra point misses in 20 games.

    Plus the Reds haven't finished higher than 3rd place in the standings since 2012. With only one recent playoff appearance where they were swept by the Braves in a 2 game wild card series in the 2020 COVID season.

    Just listen to all those disappointed Yankees fans:

    I have it on decent authority that extra points don't count when evaluating a kicker.

    This win plays beautifully into how the story has been set up with the return of the script writer. TG must be super happy with this win.

    Deshaun Watson carted off with apparent Achilles injury. Never want to see a guy get hurt but this is probably the best case scenario for Cleveland. Now they can let insurance pay for some of that atrocious salary and they don't have to play him in games. Cleveland fans have to be ecstatic. Again, not my intention to make light of a guy getting hurt.

    Wow that hold was almost a botch. Relief. Edit: it was the snap, great great catch and hold!

    Just gives me the warm fuzzies we spotted this team 16 pts.
  12. SeaBass
    The choice not to go for 2 pts on the last TD looking worse and worse though in the moment I didn't hate it.
  13. SeaBass
    Ugh wrong time to give up a bunch of 1st downs. smh
  14. SeaBass
    At some point a good offense will break through no matter how well a defense is playing. Need to hold them to a FG. Wouldn't mind a turnover though.
  15. SeaBass
    Standing ovation for a simple fair catch. Hooray!
  16. SeaBass
    Where were all the white shirts on that one?
  17. SeaBass
    Lol special teams...
  18. SeaBass
    Meanwhile, we continue to give away possessions.

    I don't know how the Texans coach let that ball get snapped. Maybe got a break. Close enough to review.

    Special teams just refuses to stop being the reason winning is harder than it needs to be.

    I think you're making more out of this than it deserves. For the record at no point was I directing my comments at you, which doesn't really matter because you are still allowed to disagree with me. I just said defending the cut players really didn't make much sense to me. If you disagree and feel people aren't defending them, fair enough. I don't think what I said was controversial to this extreme. If you want to call it a dumb comment fine by me.

    What I liked about Narveson was he was 100% on his extra point tries. Also when he did make kicks they were usually right down the middle. I almost want to say they all were right down the middle but I can't, I don't have that kind of memory. It just felt like to me his makes were really spot on and obviously his misses weren't. I don't have the same memory feel for Carlson's kicks, doesn't mean his were any worse, but Narveson's successful kicks just felt really good to me. That's the rub with Carlson, if he did have a better % are you just quoting his FG attempts? Because clearly that's not the whole story, he missed multiple extra points. Just looked it up, he missed 6 FGs AND 5 extra points. 11 misses is not a small number. So really not interested in cherry picking only the field goals when that wasn't his only problem. Narveson made 84.8% of ALL his kicks. Carlson made 84.7%. Both deserved what they got. McManus has never missed more than 3 extra points in a season his entire career. His FG% has fluctuated but as has been pointed out the majority of his misses are from 50+ yards. It sure seems reasonable that choosing him solves the Packers kicking problems for the near future and perhaps for a few seasons to come.

    I think about that all the time as I'm sure many Packers fans do. The Packers traded down from their #29 overall pick and selected Kevin King with the first pick of the 2nd round (#33 overall). TJ Watt was selected with the next pick #30 overall. Cleveland also missed their chance at Watt with the #29 overall (as did the teams with the 28 selections prior) which they used to select David Njoku. The Packers also got a 4th round pick in that trade and selected Vince Biegel with the #108 overall selection. All in all not a great result.

    I don't understand the kicker defenders. The facts are Carlson and Narveson missed too many kicks and this team is a playoff contender if not a Super Bowl contender. When teams suck they have the luxury of being able to bring a kicker along and be patient with their struggles, even then I'm sure the coaches that are on the hot seat for those bad teams don't love it. If you don't want to squander playoff opportunities you look for upgrades. It's really that simple. Despite Narveson's struggles I actually kinda liked him. I thought his kicks mostly looked good. He just missed too many kicks. I have zero regrets letting him go and upgrading that position. I don't care if Narveson goes on to be Justin Tucker, he wasn't helping us this season. The Packers need competence right now, not 2 or 3 years down the line. I agree with the person that said you don't need to have the best kicker in the league, you just need someone that's going to make their kicks consistently. Missing 5 kicks in 6 games is the wrong kind of consistent. Bottom line, if a player wants to hold on to his job they actually have to DO their job. The last two guys didn't.

    Ah it's like the Packers 2021 season all over again in Jets land, except Rodgers is now 3 years older and less mobile and effective. Can't imagine Garrett Wilson is loving this move, he already trails Lazard in receiving TDs 5 to 3 and now Davante enters the target group. I'm glad that mess is happening there.
