Really not a bad option. he had a horrible week last week so the Rams made a change immediately.

Besides last week he was one of the top kickers this year.

We should bring him in at the very least.

You would have expected them to bring in kickers over the weekend and to make the change then.

Nothing has leaked whatsoever about anyone coming in

Yeah this Staff and FO are frozen in the past. They admit nothing.

Getting rid of Grupe for another kicker would make them admit that they fricked up and traded the wrong kicker.

They won't do that.

Not really, he had 4 misses coming into the game.

No need to do that, DA already addressed it

Dennis Allen said kicking/punting has to be better, but said they are both young in experience.

How would this affect our tanking?

2 were from 50+, 2 from 40+.

We arent signing a John Carney during the season. Would you rather a steady vet or Groupe right now?

If the offense were half arse good I would go with steady vet.
Does it really matter much right now?

7 misses total is steady? 79% on FGs for his career?

it's called the kicking carousel for a reason. we bought a ticket to it the past 2 weeks.

One of nine kickers with a worse percentage than Grupe?

In fact, he is third worst in the league. Do you work for the Saints front office?

Swapping Grupe with a career sub 80% kicker certainly isn’t the move

They ate shite for Lutz’s last two years when he stunk

Grupe is frustrating but you gotta let the sample size play out before reacting. It would be great if FGs weren’t our only means of scoring too

Really shocked they have not replaced the punter. That seems like a no-brainer.

that would mean our front office would have to pick up a phone. We don't do midseason adjustments.

The Saints offense is only capable of getting in position to kick field goals, which are then missed.

Man, did you see him in the playoffs with Dallas last year? He has a strong leg but when things go bad for him he can not make an extra point. He missed several extra points in the playoffs last year

Do you not remember his playoff game last year where he missed like 4-5 kicks

Giving young Grupe time is one thing but not signing another punter off the street is inexplicable. We punt.. a lot
