Mark Long Beach Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 On 9/16/2019 at 4:21 AM, Albany,n.y. said: See NY Jets, a team that had some kicking problems, finally settled it, finding a Pro Bowl kicker, then decided that they didn't need to pay him market value and let him leave via free agency. This is in sharp contrast to the Buffalo Bills who signed one of the league's best kickers to a 3 year contract 2 years ago and had the foresight to extend him 2 more years rather than risk being the NY Jets. Don't be the NY Jets Yup. Don't be the Jets. A good rule in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to plug in a capable replacement and not miss a beat. Most players don’t talk to the kicker. Vinatieri is probably talked to more than most kickers though.

On teams with long standing veteran kickers who have won game after game for the team---YES players talk to those guys. I think you are living in the past before Offensive and Defensive players realized how important a great kicker is to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcing that this will be his last season would be better IMO. Different story if there are physical issues. i can see that but i think he is just bummed about his performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It backs you up. According to the article he never considered retirement. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27637536/vinatieri-trying-get-demons-my-head 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now its a QB diving forward is now considered giving yourself up, the as same sliding and the ball goes back to the point of the dive. So stupid, costing the eagles a win, not that i care about the eagles, its just the point of the matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like kickoffs, I like there to be the option of field goals (adds more strategy of when to go for it and when to take the points), and punts. I like defense. I like physicality. I guess my preferences are old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like old school too but could do with out the kicking. i would make the 20 yd line the 3 point line and the endzone would be where you get 4 points. for punting i would make 4rth down a live ball for the defense where you can throw a hail Mary, which acts as a punt, and if no one catches the ball or picks it up that's where the other team gets the ball. Obviously the offensive team can catch the ball but cant pick it up off the ground. this would make the game way more entertaining and would save roster spots and money dedicated to kickers and special teamers.

You can re read my post if you would like. Are you just looking to argue? Discussing is discussing, confrontational comments are trying to argue. I am not here to argue. Healthy debate, sure.
