Had they scored a FG or TD we would have marched down to score back, instead we intercept the ball and we can't hold on to it going on a fast 3 and out, as KOKBILLS said, we're a frustrating team to watch.
I think this is the best way to handle the situation. Give the year to Carpenter to prove himself. He's still young and he could still find that consistency that he lacked playing for the turd phins.
Carpenter is 27, guess what age Lindell was when Seattle cut him because they thought he was not going to get better? 26.
Sucks for Hopkins but this is the NFL, it waits for no one.
Why wasn't he the back-up? Maybe they thought EJ would not get injured until Legursky, Hopkins and Gilmore could come back, otherwise they would have had to cut someone healthy or even Lewis if he was on the official roster.
Freeman if EJ's injury is serious, if not bring back Thad Lewis and name him back-up. Kick the tires on some punters until next game, Powell is a liability.
