So I am going to stick with Hausch for now. He wrecked about 200 corn dogs at the booth, but they were cold......no big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haushka seems to be going down that road. Yeah, happens to all of them eventually. I can’t imagine the unique pressure those guys are under, but kickers as a group are a strange lot. Once the doubt creeps in they’re done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Reich Thing Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Was it just me or did Haush’s kick seem like it was in the air forever yesterday? It hung up there forever. A lot of other kickers I see in the league just pound the ball and don’t give the elements a chance to alter it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well - He has one of the lowest completion records this year among active kickers so could be a slump, and he breaks out of it, but if this continues for the rest of the season, we won’t be spending another season with him. It wasn’t necessarily missing the 54 yard field go, but the earlier one and the extra point. We should have been at 20 pts and won. He wasn’t the only problem, as Allen made poor decisions again like the Brown Pass vs. Beasley. I don’t know why Daboll keeps calling up these deep passes when they are not working. I can give Daboll a pass if he gave Allen the freedom to see the field and that was only of three choices Allen could make, them on Allen. you don’t get stupider points for overthrowing people deep vs. work on timing, or don’t keep going to these high risk, low probability of success. I know this is about the kicker, but these were also factors Sunday and House shouldn’t be the scapegoat. He should be playing bette r like the last couple of years.

Gugny Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Oh, what a short memory many have. The year we "went to the playoffs," just two years ago, Haushka's leg and the defense's takeaways were the number 2 and 3 reasons we got in (Andy Dalton being number one, of course): Haushka in 2017: From 0-48 yards: 22/24 From 49+ yards: 7/9 One of six kickers in the league to hit 100% of his XP attempts. I looked at last year as an anomaly, likely due to injury. So I was perfectly comfortable bringing him back this year - just two years after a stellar campaign. That said ... unfortunately, it's pretty clear that he's still NOT what he was in 2017. But we can play the hindsight game all year, can't we? That's boring. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell is that? The concern wasn't missing the 53 yard FG, the concern was that he came up short. That's unacceptable for an NFL kicker...that ball should have hit the back wall where the fans are, not bounced near the back of the goalline.

entropyrules Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I believe he's a decent cello player.

H2o Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Hauschka is 8 for 13 right now with a long of 46 yards.

TC in St. Louis Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I recognized McLaughlin when he came on the field and made the tying field goal. Told my son this would be on the board within seconds. I thought about posting it, but I knew I was already way back in line.....sort of like when Springsteen tickets go on sale.

Artem Lipatov Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Any player can have a bad game with costly mistakes. I don't remember such poor performances from Hauschka before. If he goes on making important misses then I agree, it's a problem. We lost 1 game due to 2 missed Fgs (not the only liability). But we won at Tennesee thanks to 4 missed FGs of opposite kicker.

The pressure is on though if he misses again as they've given him a vote of confidence. Probably audition kickers if he has a bad game. Having said that Lee Smith hasn't been cut yet. I think Lee Smith does serve one large purpose. He's a very good blocking TE, (minus the penalties) He's a good resource for two rookie TE's to lean on for help. Likely not needed next season as Knox has developed somewhat faster than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
