  • Packers have a kicking problem

    Packers have released Anders Carlson with about 10 days before the 1st regular season game.
    Ouch, this is disturbing.

    You could say this is a real kick in the pants, but if it’s Carlson or Joseph doing the kicking it’s probably a miss. My guess is they’re hoping to land another kicker from another team and Joseph is simply holding the spot until that happens.

      Joseph is adequate and IMO significantly more reliable than Carlson. Just the same, it's probably still 50/50 or better we pick up an upgrade.
      What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

        the thing that worries me about joseph being our kicker is that he wasn't all that great the last 2 seasons, even though he played half his games in a fucking dome

        2 seasons ago he missed 6 xps, which is even worse the carlson last season

        joseph isn't the answer

          Over his career, and I think last year he was pretty good within 40 yards. Over 50 yards not so good. We couldn't not stomach another year of the dirty Anders. He pretty much missed a kick every week of the season and when the game is on the line he'd be about the last guy I'd want to count on. Hell, I'd probably take a gray hair'd Crosby if the FG wasn't too far

          My gut still says the kicker who ends out season might not be in Green Bay yet

            Riley Patterson seems to have some nice stats

              If you listen to them speak, Joseph also has confidence and Anders lacks that completely. He also looks fluent in his technique. I'm not saying he's our guy but GB cut the right guy IMO

                If the Jets let go of their young backup I really liked him. And Folk....if he was let go over the young guy....I'd take that. Of course I don't know if either was cut...lol

                    THere was an article earlier that the Jets were trying to trade on of their kickers; obviously did not work. But ya, he was the dude I kinda liked. The Titans K who was cut was ok as well

                      There are NUMEROUS better options than Joseph available right now. I’m not sure why Gute is refusing to pull the trigger when he was so damn quick with the QB spot.

                      Joseph proved in camp that he is no better than Carlson.
                      It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

                        I'm thinking that instead of claiming someone, he's going to wait until waiver claims are over and try to sign a kicker to the PS, along with Hale.

                          Agree. I also think with the roster construction as it is (SIX DE's?) that there will be plenty of competition at K. They could stash two on the PS and just elevate them for 3 weeks each lol

                          They claimed the kid from TEN who was reasonably accurate and has a strong leg. I don't trust K's who were meh in a dome... Lambeau is a tough place to kick being outside, and often cold and windy

                            Let's hope that this thread title is obsolete soon.

                            I hope we all get addicted to Narveson.

                              Strong leg and reasonably accurate. That's a good upgrade. I agree with you on the Joseph analysis. If he was not lights out in a dome, he would have been a problem at Lambeau in December.
