Stephen Gostkowski Apology Thread

Bye Bye Bironas the best we ever had.

 

What's the over/under on how many points this fool leaves on the field today? 4.5?

 

He is 28% from 40-49 yards. I'll apologize when he corrects that. Until then, I wish he'd go for a joyride with Rob Bironas.

 

Keeping Gostkowski on the roster at this point is professional negligence. We went through a handful of kickers last season who were all as productive as this loser and somehow he's still playing.

Patriots favoritism at its finest.

 

To be honest, I want the special teams coach gone, more than Gostkowski. He's just the easy target. Since Week 1 last year, our special teams coach has went through 6 kickers with averages of:
Less than 30 yards = 50%
Less than 40 yards = 60%
Less than 50 yards = 60%

Do we really sign 6 duds in a row? At some point, the coach needs to shoulder the blame.

 

I think blaming the special teams coach for the performance of veteran kickers is dumb. These guys have all been in the league 6+ years. They have their technique down. It's just a matter of making the damn kicks.

The problem, outside of Succup, is we brought in guys who were released because they were terrible in the previous stop. They continued to be terrible here. That should not be a shock to anyone.

 

it's sad when you have to point out the kicker didn't miss <=40 yard FGs or extra points

You just jinxed him for next week Jeff
