We miss. They miss. It's even.

You can't pin it on the kicker in that situation.

What on earth are you talking about?

I watched the game.

I guess I missed everyone on the Huddle pinning the loss on Slye, because he missed a FG in the 1st quarter.

What? Yes you can make the fg

Cody Parkey is available 

[Waldo]

Don't know if he is the long term answer but he is cheap and Gano has a bad knee. At worst keep looking

[UncleWillie]

Would help if you compared the number of blocked kicks as well.

Not fair--

A kicker with a strong leg gets asked to boot 60 yarders while other kickers do not.  I have always thought that the best way to gauge this is by looking at the extra points only and the percentage of kicks above 50 yards--that would test accuracy and distance.

Teams with weak kickers either go for it or punt if it means trying a 58 yard FG.  Some coaches play field position more than others.  If a player like Daryl Williams, for example, falls on his arse and the kick is blocked, it counts against the kicker. 

Imagine a formula where the extra point attempts from 35 are calculated.  Even that is not fair, considering domes and weather etc, but at least the distance is consistent.  Let's say the number is 97%.  Then have a power accuracy formula, where all kicks over 50 yards are calculated.  Like QB ratings.

Wonder if that has to do with Joey line trajectory seems like its kinda low maybe?

Gano sucked and was a known failure in clutch moments. Slye has a big leg and is young with room to grow. Why Gano has so many defenders here is just crazy.

The FG blocking has been atrocious at times..

For us, he made more game ending kicks than he missed.  

[Basbear]

I believe he also leads the league in touch-back %(or right at the top).

Gano is much like bradberry was, he just has a group of people that heavily dis-like him for what-ever bad reasoning they choose to believe.  There is an league wide shortage of good kickers currently, just like QB deal..... Panthers have two good options and teams will be calling.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

To be fair, he's also attempted 7 50+ yards (more than Gano has ever attempted in a season and more than 2017 and 2018 combined) and he's made 4 of them. So it's not like he's been missing tons of chip shots. Though, he has regressed a little in terms of accuracy recently.
