Placekicker Bingo!

[King Friday]

Who will be the placekicker for the Packers in Brazil in week 1?

If you choose other, state the name so we can laugh at you later.

[King Friday]

Dumb poll.

1. Carlson (God forbid)
2. Patterson
3. Siebert
4. Shrader
5. Narveson
6. Wright
7. Crosby
8. Other…post the name

[MadScientist]

Barney Fuckdoggle.

[Joemailman]

Other...Joseph

Narveson . . . Cuz it sounds like the name of a new opioid.

[smuggler]

Barney Fuckdoggle.

We would never be this blessed with 'Teams.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'd have to go with Joseph at this point too.

[Patler]

I'd have to go with Joseph at this point too.

Why? His overall training camp performance is worse than Carlsen's, although only slightly so. More significantly, his training camp performance was essentially the same as his last two seasons in MN. In other words, no better than Carlson.

For me, the tie goes to Carlson simply because he is younger and less experienced, and therefore has more "potential".

If the Titans like Narveson, Folk could become available. Doesn't have the strongest leg anymore, but he's accurate.

[Patler]

He still kicks 50+ yard field goals. (9 of 11 the last two years.) Leg strength on kickoffs is not so significant with the new rules.

Sign him up! (If he becomes available.)

[King Friday]

Based on MLF’s frustration, there seems no way we keep either of our current kickers.

I think Narveson or Siebert are most likely to be the kicker in Brazil.

All this...and his salary isn't guaranteed when he makes the initial 53. I stated awhile back this would be the way and we would constantly cycle practice squad kickers. I'm sticking with it.

Or offer Malik Heath in trade.

Pele?

Pele?

Nope.
He’s got a dead leg.

[Tony Oday]

No kicker, use Whelan for kickoffs and go for it on all 4th downs in scoring range.

[smuggler]

Madness option. I'm down.

[Fritz]

OR keep a kicker who can run and throw a tiny bit and run fakes 50% of the time on field goal attempts.

Keep the madness coming!

LET'S GO GUTEBAG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of panic and chaos, let's sift through this logically. Ol' Fritz here has been doing some careful, long-term research about what makes for a successful punter or kicker in the NFL, and I'd like to offer you wide-eyed panic-button pushing kids a sure-fire way to find a successful NFL punter or kicker. Again, very analytical, very detailed, so try to follow me on this.

First, if your punter

or your kicker

https://www.packersnews.com/gcdn/authoring/authoring-images/2024/01/21/PMJS/72300037007-mjs-packers-19-44-jpg-packers-19.jpg?crop=4877,2745,x0,y0&width=660&height=371&format=pjpg&auto=webp

looks like a twelve-year old at a Punt, Pass and Kick competition, it's certain failure. As we can see by the two above former Packers.

So that means you must scour the available specialists - in this case, kickers - for the right look. But it's more than just looks - I told you this was some complicated shit - it's also the right background. Daniel Whelan, rugby player?

Now, bringing all these extensive, in-depth factors and reasonings together, it simply remains to research the available kickers and see who's the most bad-ass.

Austin Siebert:

https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nfl/players/full/3821683.png&w=350&h=254

Meh. On the plus side, he's got facial hair, at least, so we know he looks at least fifteen. On the downside, when he wasn't employed, he was helping out as a volunteer coach for his high school football team. That lowers the score; whereas if he were like Matt Prater, who used to booze it up in his free time, his score would be far higher.

Spencer Shrader:

https://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nfl/players/full/4571557.png

God no. No, no, no, no, a thousand times no. Is he out of seventh grade yet?

And Nick Folk:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Nick_Folk_Titans_Interview_SEPT2023.png

Finally. Will he be available? Who knows. But you can see the irrefutable, cold-as-steel rigorand lolgic of my scientific calculations. Thus, once the Packers do find their kicker, we can accurately predict his success in Green Bay.

[Joemailman]

If the Titans like Narveson, Folk could become available. Doesn't have the strongest leg anymore, but he's accurate.

Titans waived Narveson.

Teams have until noon ET tomorrow to put in waiver claims.

[MadScientist]

So how many kicker waver claims have the Packers made?

[Joemailman]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's none. Season starts in 10 days. THey may just decide to go with Joseph.

[Bretsky]

Mason Crosby has the perfect kickoff leg with the new rules. I'm not sure he can even get it past the end zone anymore...lol

[Joemailman]

The last time the Packers won the Super Bowl Mason Crosby was 26th in the NFL in FG% You can win with a mediocre kicker if the TEAM is good enough. Even after Carlson missed that FG against the 49ers, the Packers had a 4 point lead. A good defense could have saved the day.
