    Well we've kept a vet wr on the team who doesn't catch any footballs, they'll probably keep a kicker who can't kick field goals.

    You can't not trust your kicker. I'm sorry. He needs to go. Unacceptable from him. I have no patience for missed field goals. let's not forget he was doing this in the preseason too.

    I agree. The Chad Henne of kickers.. Looks good when we don't need him, fails under pressure

    Really? The guy has been one of the best kickers since he entered the NFL. He has one bad game and he should be cut?

    By that logic we should have cut Bess last year when he had a bad few games

    lol at this thread. Carpenter is absolutely the goat today but let's not pretend he hasn't been very good his entire career here. This is the first time I think he's ever missed a big kick.

    It's not. Carpenter has missed kicks multiple times when it was absolutely needed.

    Of course if we just run the ball instead of trying to force feed Hartline in the endzone we might of got a little closer for Carpenter.

    Dont take your frustrations on one player, it's juvenile. Fact is there were a number of other reasons we lost today

    Kickers are streaky. They'll have unbelievable seasons followed up by flops. Happens all the time. Very rare to find a guy who does it year in and out. It's not like we're going anywhere. Plenty of time to see how he rebounds.

    Can't cut Carpenter. There is nothing out there better than him. It has been awhile since he's made a meaningful kick--2009 maybe?

    I think you bring kickers in for some "competition", but that's it.

    A lot of fault lies with Carpenter but everyone has off days. If he continues to suck then yes, have this discussion.

    Because Carpenter wouldn't have missed if we gained 3 more yards.. He was only wide 10 feet twice. Damn Philbin we need to return to WannyBall

    As far as playcalling goes, fans are always yearning for the style they don't have. If we had run the ball in the 4th quarter and lost, it'd be all "why didn't we open up and try to put them away?"

    That said, I'm pretty confident Sparano style would have won us this game. In many games, I prefer a more aggressive and open style. This was a game where all you had to do was pound it home and eat cloak.

    He's paid to make FG's and he struggles to do that.

    The other game in which I remember him struggling late was the Buffalo game in 2010. Any others??

    This loss is on the kicker, but you can't cut him after one bad game. You can put him on notice though...

  39. No knee-jerk reaction from me. I have not been impressed with Carpenter for at least 3 seasons now (counting this season) He is not good under pressure. I will say his leg strength has improved some because that was another knock I had about him too but that has improved. I did bring this topic up in preseason as well. While there were certainly bigger holes that needed to be filled his postion is one that we could use an upgrade at. This is just another example of it. Yes the play calling could of been better but he should of made his kicks.

    Honestly, if Philbin loses confidence in Carpenter then he absolutely has to go. There's no other option. If you can't trust your kicker, it affects how you call the rest of the game, and not in a positive way.
