Yes, the 61 and 53 yarders were insane to attempt and should have been punts instead. The 48 yarders, one was into the wind and one with the wind. The one into the wind should have been a punt as well. The only makeable one was the last one and his confidence was shot by then.
I think the coach must have been testing Carpenter to see what his limits are.
The jets game yesterday, they would punt on 40+ yard field goal distances.
