First thought I had after the missed 41 yard FG.

My first thought was how awesome it is to be the Saints ST coach.
Do a below average job year after year and keep pulling a paycheck.
You don't need to make good calls on kickers. You don't need to run back any kicks or punts. And you can give up the occasional gimmick play doing zero yourself and still keep your job

There's no reason for Connor Barth not to be in New Orleans this week for a try out. Graham is way too shaky.

I'm sorry, if you miss an extra point I can't trust you.

Have not liked Shayne from day 1. Still pissed at him for the couple of misses in Seattle. Guy needs to be cut. There are better kickers on the FA list no doubt.

I would take Josh Jasper over Graham starting right now. I'd bet $1,000 that he would be better.

missing a 41 yarder in an NFL game inside a dome is ludicrous.

NFL hashmarks are much easier than college. no excuses really. The cowboys kicker comes on and kicks a 51 yarder with his eyes basically closed.

No, not because LSU. Josh Jasper has the second highest FG make % in SEC history. That is damn elite

You know how people complain about weather conditions affecting Graham's kicking vs. Seattle.

I understand the wind taking one, but the other one was just flat out hooked.

I hold my breath for Graham more than Hartley, that's bad.

Hartley might bring some passion back to the team. And his worst stetch isnt much worse than what weve seen from graham

Anyone notice how bad the protection was on the place kicks last night? They were having issues on the outside pretty much every time we kicked it. I'm not trying to say we have a lock-down kicker or anything, but holy crap that whole unit was bad.

It's crazy how McMahon has been with this team for 8 years now. Like what the frick man! I guarantee in that 8 year span we are in the bottom 5 teams of the league in terms of yards/kickoff and yards/punt return. The only thing good about our special teams is Morstead really.
