Anyone else find it weird that punters suck at kicking it short? I could totally have kept that out of the end zone.

That's because you have no leg.


But there are some specialists left that still do the coffer or at least the high hanger. Like GOAT Shane Lechler, for example. :3

It's strange, because he was amazing in college.

So was Carson Palmer.

 

[chuckddd]

Holding AND unsportsmanlike conduct. Nice work.

Yeah, I know. It's just crazy to me. They try to damn hard to get it inside the ten that they boot it into the end zone. I'd love to see a league-wide percentage on this. Kickers get all sorts of shit for missing FGs, but punters get off scott free from sucking.

So was Carson Palmer.

It's hard to hate on a guy because he was hurt. It's like calling Ki-Jana Carter a bust. Not really his fault he blew out his knee.

Delay of game is only a 5 yard penalty. It's not unsportsmanlike conduct. But I wouldn't expect a Steeler fan to actually understand the rules.

SILVERBACK!

TO is the only guy on the team playing like he gives a crap.

 

[I <3 Memes]

Yeah, pretty much.

You'd think that a kicker would have an easier transition to the NFL than most players, though.

It doesnt have anything to do with skill though. Kickers are just notorious for being headcases. That's why you never give a kicker a long term contract.

The Bucs GM gave Gramatica a 7 year contract and he almost immediately turned into a headcase. Rich McKay was a damned idiot though.

That's not entirely true. There have been punters under fire this year and last year.

 

[bucknuticus]

OK bengals I gave you that drive to show me something, you didnt. It is now Conan time.

 

[jakncoke]

nice run there

Leave the trolling to Eznark. I give you 2.5 Romos out of 100.

 

[Gigglepoo]

It's not like contracts are guaranteed. Sign him for 100 years and cut them when they miss their first 50 yarder. That's the way it's done.

Unless your kicker is Phil Dawson.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Mendenhall's somehow picking up yards without any blocking at all.

 

[Grifter]

Was it Mangini who pushed for the Nugent pick? I'd like to place blame correctly after all these years.

no.

Then cutting them accelerates all of the bonus money into 1 year instead of across 7.

Who gives bonus money to a kicker? They kick. Anyone can kick.

EDIT - Woo! I started Randel El as my QB this week!

 

[Spectral Glider]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[jakncoke]

MIKE FUCKING WALLACE

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Wow, that is just bad defense. They didn't even try for the ball.

 

[chuckddd]

THAT is why El is on the roster!

 

[methodman]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[T-Matt]

Props it was a good play.

 

[DominoKid]

Steelers just shitted on the Bengals. damn.

 

[Ducarmel]

gadget play :lol that should have been an easy pick

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Yes!

 

[jakncoke]

THAT is why El is on the roster!

While that was a nice play and all, I'm still of the opinion he needs to be gone.

 

[Nemesis121]

Bungals :lol :lol :lol

 

[dschalter]

hall out of position :lol

 

[Spectral Glider]

THAT is why El is on the roster!

He still underthrew him...I thought for sure that was picked. Bengals just are that bad.

 

[I <3 Memes]

A dumbass like Rich McKay does. And no player, even a kicker, is going to sign a 7 year contract with no bonus attached. What's the benefit to him to tie himself to 1 team if there is no bonus involved?

 

[DarienA]

No reason to stay up watching the rest of this one....

 

[methodman]

Why is ochocinco getting so pissed on the field?

 

[Gigglepoo]

While that was a nice play and all, I'm still of the opinion he needs to be gone.

 

[Futurevoid]

Why is ochocinco getting so pissed on the field?

...cause his quarterback is absolute ass?

 

[chuckddd]

Nobody can over throw Wallace.



Damn, Chad sure is a pouty bitch.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Bungles have quit.

 

[methodman]

...cause his quarterback is absolute ass?

:lol

True. Now he got benched.

 

[jakncoke]

-_-

 

[Gigglepoo]

TO is really good. If he's not first ballot HoF, every writer should be fired.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Wait a sec, Palmer with a good throw?

 

[Afrikan]

dude got fucked up D:

 

[Goro Majima]

Wow.

Carson Palmer sucks and sucks and sucks then

FLASH OF BRILLIANCE!

 

[Futurevoid]

TO....the Bengals offense.

 

[Kusagari]

Why isn't everyone covering TO? He's the only receiver on the Bengals actually doing anything.

 

[Spectral Glider]

That guy got drilled. :lol

 

[methodman]

Wow, TO is the shit. Still wish we had him back on the niners

 

[Ducarmel]

That security dude took a hard hit :lol
