I still believe in Eddy Pineiro

Every player has THAT game at least once. And the constant talk of him becoming the most accurate kicker in NFL history just had to put extra pressure on the day. 

He's still a great weapon for the team. Just put this one behind us and move on.

Not to mention, maybe there was something wrong with the kicking balls yesterday. I've never seen so many bad punts and kicks in one game. Seriously, there may have been an equipment issue behind this.

they said during the KC game he was hurt and it would limit what they could ask of him.   I wonder if he is still just nursing something.  Overall those were non-pressure easy kicks....which is what he built his resume on as being the most accurate kicker in NFL history doing.

Not going to sugar coat it, that was unbelievably bad from Eddy. 

 

That said, the specialist on both teams were very poor tonight. Punters and Kickers. The fact that we saw so many bad punts and kicks invites me to give him a pass, and I will for now. I'm not sure what it could have been though. It was very windy at kick, and the temp dropped quickly, but that was just a bizarre game on special teams. 

And Sam Franklin, you are a captain, please stop committing stupid penalties in one score games on special teams.

On a real note, piñero has been largely good for the panthers. I recall John kasay having some random awful games in his career where he missed extra points and gimme field goals that cost the team the game. But if he doesn’t bounce back, cut him or put him on IR if he’s truly playing through injury.

Current trend is that kickers are great until they start consistently missing FGs, get cut, and then are fine again with a new team. Not saying Eddy is at that point yet but worst case scenario, Justin Tucker will probably be available soon.

I’ve never been a believer in Pineiro. The “most accurate kicker” nonsense is because he’s almost never asked to make difficult kicks. And when he does miss the easy kicks he’s asked to make, they always seem to be critical ones. Two misses yesterday that either would have won us the game in regular time, the miss vs Atlanta a couple years ago. He doesn’t miss the easy kicks often but when he does it hurts.

    • Yeah don't get me started on that. He ran cam into the ground
    • I once again wake up eat my breakfast and then read bs…man your logic only works in your head I can give you multiple examples but I’ll start with one easy clear example of it matters who you’re getting and what you’re planning on doing. Jadevon C and Khalil Mack were drafted before Aaron Donald 2014 biggest mistake of the draft as we look back and redraft or whatever. It doesn’t make sense to take a DE over a DT thats a stud game changing elite defensive player. You can’t draft of generalization typically you want a DE first but nowadays DT are just as impactful so you better choose right LA got a chip bc of Donald meanwhile K Mack is on his second team and J Clowney on his third  team. We don’t draft positions we draft elite prospects Graham seems to be a more productive disruptive player than either DE we may get. A Carter who I want is a Micah P clone they say I can see him impacting the pass game but the run game might leave him as a non factor. And right now our main focal point on defense this offseason will be stopping the run. We’ll be able to create pressure with A Barno back Wonnum healthy and a mix of blitzing which has helped us generate pass rush lately.  Graham if he allows us to stop the run and he generates a pass rush himself which at Michigan he’s know to do both consistently helps our defense then start controlling games would be a better pick then Carter for us moving forward so let’s dive deeper then just pick a DE over a DT because there’s so many factors to weigh out with these top ten picks in the nfl draft.
