True. Good thing we didn't send Ogletree packing after that 49ers game.If we got rid of everyone who had a bad day, we'd have no team left.
And yes, it has been more than one bad day... but GZ is far from Sebastian Janikowski levels of inconsistency.
Come on, no one said anything about replacing him. The only overreaction in here is your post.Jesus, one bad game and we gotta replace the guy? Remember when he went 5/5 vs Denver? Did you wanna replace him then too?
The only reason to bring other guys in is to potentially replace him, so no overreaction on L4's part.Come on, no one said anything about replacing him. The only overreaction in here is your post.
And it isn't just "one game" that is cause for concern from GZ.The only reason to bring other guys in is to potentially replace him, so no overreaction on L4's part.

Agree completely. Bring in some competition, at the least in the off-season. Might help him.Not a popular opinion but yeah, you're right. Even just as a prop to get GZ scared. I've been seeing this in him for quite awhile. He's like the Reggie Miller of kickers.
All kickers are fragile mentally, but GZ is a little more so IMO.
Thats not true. Competition is a viable way to push guys without actually replacing them.The only reason to bring other guys in is to potentially replace him, so no overreaction on L4's part.
Pretty much this. The only kicker I would take over GZ is Goskowski(SP?) from NE. But if I could have one kicker to win a game on a 60 yarder, I would take the Leg everyday and twice on Sunday.The only reason to bring other guys in is to potentially replace him, so no overreaction on L4's part.
It's either a bluff (which makes the coach look silly eventually) or definitely *potential* replacement at least. So yeah, way too early to talk about even potentially replacing Zuerlein. Teams would be in a mad scramble to get him if we did that.Thats not true. Competition is a viable way to push guys without actually replacing them.
I'm sure they'll have competition for him (again) during camp. Until then, what's the point of complaining about him now?
Oh, and btw....
TOUCHDOWN RAIDERS!
Actually, you can miss easy kicks. We see it happen quite often. Let's just see how the rest of the season shakes out before we call it quits with the guy. He might have more games like the Denver game than this one, and my money is on that.Sorry can't miss easy kicks...I like kickers, when they make them no matter who they are and Go Raiders!
