Boknows34 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If Crosby had kicked that potential game winner for the Packers at the end of regulation, Carlson would still have a job. Funny how things can transpire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The vikings also signed Aldrick Robinson as a minor note. Didn't want to create a thread for that, but thought it should be noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If Bailey wins a Super Bowl. I'm happy for him. Didn't deserved to be cut by Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially so for rookies. He certainly wasn't bad in college and won the job versus Forbath handily, so this game seems to be more the exception than the rule for him. If you count the 3rd preseason game where he went 0-2 as the sole starting kicker, he's 3 for his last 8 in field goals. I wonder if it's a trend where he misses 1 attempt, his confidence is shot for the rest of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozizaki Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I wish Carlson the best and hope he can develop for a team that is building towards their opportunity. Just couldn't wait for a rookie to develop on a team that may only get 3 opportunities at an Owl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketchup Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 3 hours ago, ILoveTheVikings said: Part of me honestly feels bad for Carlson. I know kickers shouldn't really need time to adjust to the NFL, but to be cut after 2 games? Ouch. Oh well. As a human being, how do you not feel bad for the guy? The close up of his face after he missed that third quick and screamed the f word, like he knew that was probably his job, it makes you feel for him. As a football fan, it's pretty much kick rocks. After you miss your 3rd kick of the game and the last of which was a chip shot, it's time to move on. I was absolutely flabbergasted that he missed that last kick.

SteelKing728 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 anyways, I wouldn't mind keeping Carlson as a PS player. I don't know if he's cut out for the job, but maybe there is still something there. Happy for the Vikings and Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still would have liked to see Carlson have success though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Well at least Carlson has a chance at a ring if he lands somewhere else this year. Could be a blessing in disguise for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
