I still believe in Eddy Pineiro

He’s what we got so hope that he works out long-term, but I’d like a kicker who can kick touchbacks. He doesn’t have that strong of a leg. Even before the new kickoff rules he couldn’t kick touchbacks.

I get he's cracked in big moments to win games before (tbh I've kind of forgotten but fans here say that so), but those misses were not big moments. Those were routine mental misses that I think he can get over and don't indicate long term much of anything. I bet he would have redeemed himself in OT if given the chance.

Oh well, next game.

Yeah. He needs surgery and needs the fluid drained from his knee weekly??

regardless a middling kicker.

He had a bad game.  Eddy is still among the League's most accurate kickers.  Both of his misses were narrowly so.  They were not outright shanks. Prior to yesterday, he'd missed one FG all year and he's been perfect on PATs.  Eddy will be okay.  He was solid all last year too, but had that one stinker game.  I'll keep a kicker that's solid 16 of 17 games a year.

Eddie has kept us in far more games than he has lost us. This an aberration for him. No telling if anything else was going on. No kick is an easy kick. If he gets the yips off hen different story. 

Very true. I'm pretty sure Bryce would be winless without Eddy, so......

This

He said that he would have to have his knee drained often and that there was surgery in the offseason

      Week 13 other games

      How about this. We'll revisit this discussion after the Eagles game. Deal? If Bryce lights them up as the current #1 defense I'll happily eat crow and become a believer.

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      By TG_General · Posted

      I'm no sports psychologist but it does seem like he got through a serious mental block. Someone mentioned above that Thielen alluded to Bryce feeling like he needed to be perfect every play. That feels accurate. Just from watching, it feels like Bryce 1.0 was playing to not mess up (which is the #1 way to make mess up!) instead of just playing the game. Silly as it may seem, watching him dance after running one in yesterday led me to believe Bryce 2.0 is a thing and a legitimate one at that. In the past, it seemed like he felt the need to remain stoic at all times, which is cool if it's your personality but probably is a pretty uncomfortable facade to keep up. Looking back and seeing the way he showed emotion at Bama, that stoic guy isn't him. He's playing the game again, smiling and having fun. Credit to him because having to take a step back like he did could have been a fatal blow for the confidence. I just want to continue to see progress week to week. It won't necessarily be linear but that's OK. He's breaking through blocks and barriers we weren't sure were possible a few weeks ago. Who knows where that trajectory takes him?

      Stopped reading after the first sentence. I said he did a near 180 from earlier and your first sentence rewrites my words. Grasping at technicalities of general statements.
