For a team that's 6-1, it feels like we have a ton of work to do. Huge gaps in our cover schemes, a placekicker who can't be trusted to kick an extra point, and inconsistent playcalling on offense and defense. I hope these things get better soon.

Placekicker is also terrible at 50+ yard FGs.

This season Joseph has either made all his kicks in a game (5-5, 3-3, 1-1) or missed them all. His 5 misses on 14 attempts already equals total misses on 38 attempts last season. And he was 17-20 with the Browns.

Maybe fire his coach and get him a session with a shrink pronto. Or cut him.

By "kicks" you mean field goals?

After the Washington game we have a four-game stretch against Buffalo, Dallas, New England and New York that will tell us where this team is at. Outside of that, we've played a very soft schedule so far.

A win is a win and I'll take them how I can get them, but I'd love to see this team show up during a big game.

He misses from 50+ nearly all the time and he misses XPs an alarming amount of times. He's just a kicker. Get someone else.

Buffalo and Dallas may speak to us but ill be really disappointed if we lose to NE and NY

I don't know, maybe it was onside kickoffs. If you need to be spoon fed the obvious, then posting on a football board isn't your best look.

At least his resume will say he was an integral part of an elite ST.

Considering that you were replying to a post that only mentioned extra points...

True it may not be my best look, but based on your posts, if this is your best look, then you don't really have a best look.

And his resume would be correct. Got another turnover out of special teams today. It's becoming a common occurence.

That reply is even worse than your shitty look.

It was the post after that mentioned FGs, but it wasn't significant enough to bother changing.... regardless of whether an a-hole points it out or not.

Hate to break up that kind of synergy and chemistry.

It's funny. The D let on 26 yet I was please. Felt they over achieved. The O scores 34 and I'm a little disappointed. Felt they under achieved.

IIf they're not going to use JJ to his super star level maybe we should consider trading him for 2 1sts. He looked frustrated today.

It's beyond weird how they freeze him out near the goal line.

I don’t think it is a freezing out. Thielen, Cook, Irv and Mattison are very good in that area.

That's true. I guess I would just think he'd be scoring more. Hopefully an avalanche of tds from the offense erupts in the coming weeks. Scoring 34 today was nice but as Todd said it seemed it should've been more for some reason. ZED is such a monster!

There is more coverage his way. He's a victim of his own stats.

Moss had at least double coverage and it didn't matter. Then again, that's why he is The Freak.

Yes, one would think so.

But he did have 98 yards.

And as mentioned, we did have 34 points - minus a fg and extra point, of course ;/

There were a couple of injuries in Darrisaw and Tomlinson. Hope they are minor.

Let's beat Washington first, but yes. It will definitely be a statement game.

Maybe theyre in a class by themselves right now. Seems like this game should be a bigger blow out than it is, though.

And it looks to me like GB is the one taking it in the shorts with bad calls
