So through two games Slye has been perfect. Everything right down the middle. I would’ve loved to see them let him kick the 56-yarder. 

Another reason we are 4-6 and not the other way around is the disaster of our kicking game.  Lets hope Slye is the answer to that huge issue.

Yep, imagine if Rivera had elected to use a real nfl kicker instead of Blewitt and we won the broncos game. That game will likely cost us our wildcard berth.

Yeah, cutting Hopkins for Blewitt backfired. Now, if we had kept Hopkins and he was still consistent, cutting Hopkins for Slye wouldn’t have been stupid.

It still would have been, just not as bad as cutting him for Blewitt. Which was just monumentally stupid. 

Hopkins is, incidentally, now up to 34 of his last 37 FGs made. For those keeping track at home, that’s about 92%. And for reference, even excluding his struggles in last year’s playoffs, Justin Tucker is only 33 for his last 37 FGs. If, over the course of a full season’s worth of games, you out-kick the GOAT — you probably shouldn’t have gotten cut during that span.
