His league ranking in FG% by season during his career:

33rd, 15th, 16th, 28th, 26th, 12th, 21st, 22nd, and this year he’s approx. 25th. He misses XP’s pretty regularly, as well. For the 8th-highest paid kicker, he’s terrible.

He is no Justin Tucker that is for sure, but his career percentage from 40-49 is 84.6, 94% from 30-39, and 95% from 20-29. He is consistently top 1-5 on number of attempts from 50+ and is 35-64 from that range. He could be better from 50+ that is for sure, but his percentage stats are more heavily skewed than many other kickers who dont attempt as many long field goals. His numbers from 49 in compare pretty favorably to a lot of the top kickers.

A quick look shows he has missed only 2 kicks inside of 50 the past two years and 7 games of this season.

I think Hackett needs to be fired if we don’t win in London next week. I was one of his defenders earlier in the year but he’s achieving absolutely nothing with a talented roster and is clearly in over his head. Give it Gary Kubiak until the end of the season.

He’s 54% from 50+ in his career, a full 10 points below league average. And his 92.5% mark on XP’s since 2019 is brutal. For a well-paid kicker, he’s simply not good enough.

Yeah McManus is mediocre and his entitled annoying *** attitude has always been off putting. Get rid of him. 

How bad does this have to get for George Paton to get fired alongside Hackett? This game made me think about what the floor could be. Can this team even win 7 games? That’s .500 the rest of the way.

One, Brandon McManus is far from the biggest problem in this team. There are at least two dozen moves that need to be made before cutting him.

Two, there are at least two dozen moves that need to be made on this team. 

The fact that there are 3 pages in this thread and around half were made before kickoff should say all there is to be said. The fanbase was at 110% in on this season and now it’s about 10.1%. Rob, Greg, Carrie will need to make changes or that $4,650,000,000 will be a sunk cost and one they can’t just write off like they do when someone steals a CD from Walmart.

We were in a one possession game all afternoon, and yet our play-caller made our backup QB throw the ball 46 times. The guy is so out of his element.

Again, didn’t watch but you score 9 points and your backup QB throws 46 times?  What is happening.  These young offensive minded HCs think football is a Madden video game.  Overly complex trying to win the game because of “them” not the team.  Have to show how smart they are.  Football is a simple game complicated by coaches. That’s what’s currently happening in Denver.
