Probably time for a new kicker

Wow, if we ditched every player after a rough few games...  Eddy hasn't been right for about a month and it is obvious.  If he is indeed hurt, then I'll give him a pass.  His misses hasn't cost us a game yet, ALMOST, but not yet.  His miss yesterday wouldn't have mattered in the blow out loss.

If he didn’t outright cost us the first TB game, he surely deserved half the blame.

I’m really unenthused about Pineiro’s abysmal second half of the season. But the question becomes: if you get rid of him, how confident are you that his successor is better?

Joey Slye sure blew up in Rivera’s face.

Why is he playing if he’s hurt? That’s either on the team for playing an injured kicker or on him for playing hurt and not disclosing the severity of his injury. Either way it’s not good for the team.

Sure any missed FG is a gut punch, but he had a walk off FG versus the Giants and was perfect in the Saints win.  So as of now, we bring in camp competition and go from there.  Last year he went through a few game slump, but got it together.  I don't think he's broken, just hurt and needs physical and mental rest, which comes after next Sunday.
