Hrmm, not sure im ready to give up on the kid, there is a reason Denver kept him over Drunky McDrunk.
If we are going to go that route, better flush other young talent now too, because the potential for for mistakes might cost us a game.
Come on folks, missed field goals happen. And that 3 points only means we lose by 19, its not like this team could score or stop NE for the better part of the game.
If the BRONCOS play like yesterday on the road (I say this because they have mostly road games left), they won't have to rely on a kicker. I agree with Joe here.

Actually, if he makes EITHER FG, let alone both, it might well be 20-13 at the half, because NE doesn't start at midfield TWICE. After the miss, and again after the 4th and 6 try, they were just one or two conversions from FG range, and only had to 50 yds for each TD. The only thing that stops THEM scoring points off the ones WE missed is a three-and-out from our D.
That lone missed FG triggered a 20 pt swing in a game we lost by 22, and I guarantee we don't spend the whole second half in 2:00 Drills going for it on 4th down if we're only down 2 instead of 22. We don't go for it on 4th and G: We kick the chip shot FG for a 1 pt lead. Sure, the coaches and many other players (practically all of them) contributed to that epic loss, but we could've won DESPITE all that if a guy with a huge leg doesn't doink a 40 yd FG for the second time in <10 tries.
All the "Elway walks on Not Too Shabby water" stuff in the wake of a 20 pt BLOW OUT by a vastly inferior bitter rival is BEYOND tired. It's like the SB again, or the one-and-done #1 seed in 2012.
Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. —Jaded
Never confuse frustrated candor and disloyal malice.

I think it's pretty fitting that the guy's name is Kickalicious and he's a kicker. How cool is that?

I still think the old DB who's our HC is hurting our offense AND defense more than the old LB who's our DC. I'll say this much: Del Rio got us MUCH closer to winning at Foxborough last year with a much lesser team while Fox was convalescing. Fox brought a lot more firepower and didn't have two key injuries right around halftime, but instead of defensively DOMINATING NE till we lost our best DT and CB right around halftime, we were blown out by halftime and never competed after that. And Manning, despite self-deprecation, played MUCH better yesterday than last year.
I've said before but will now repeat: I'd give Del Rio Foxs job in a second and without a second thought. Del Rio's just not an "aw, shucks, we'll fix our correctable mistakes someday " kinda guy.

Joel, do you know Brady's record vs. Del Rio defenses?
