I don’t even try to comprehend what this franchise is doing anymore. I just pull out my carton, pat it twice, and light that sumofabytch up!!

The scrap heap has no replacement right now. This should have been worked on in the spring. More Jones roster magic at work.

If there is no other condemnation of this coaching staff and front office, not going out and getting a kicker to compete with Maher in the preseason would tell us all we need to know. If the team could not find a better kicker than Maher, it would be understandable to have kept him. Not even bringing in anyone other than a punter who could also spell your kicker in preseason games is inexcusable.

They'd think twice about under performing if their pocket was hit. Players should get paid on performance after each game. Not one lump sum. That causes laziness.


Tape? :muttley:


Rowdy! :lmao2:
When does "tape" matter from the 2010s Cowboys!?! I bet I could walk in, smile and say "nice shirt jerry" and id get the job right away!!!

That’s not what you said.. now you’re asking a question. You should have done that in the first place.To answer I’m not sure and it’s not my job to know. There must be someone who is more consistent from short range then him
If you're going to call people/organizations out I would think you would at least have some ideas to fix it other just "do something"

Maher is 14/16 from inside the 40. Also hasn't missed an extra point this year. He has struggled heavily from 40+ but so have several kickers in the league. I honestly doubt you find anyone better just sitting out there waiting for a call. If so a team like NE, CHI, IND, SF would be all over them. Let's not act like dallas is the only team with kicking issues.

It is pretty rare for someone who underperforms to lose their job. Sad
Who exactly would you replace him with?
That's the issue.
Everyone has been totally picked over.

People might be shocked here, but Maher is better than a bunch of current NFL starters.
Wish he was better, but just don't se a better one available.

In the latest Kicker ratings, Maher is 15th overall out of the 36 that have played this year.

Wish he was top 5 or so, but he's not.

By shear FG % made, he's only 27th. But he has attempted many longer kicks than some.

He's 32 for 32 on extra pts. That is 2nd best if number of attempts are included.

Exactly who is he better than the guy is 11 for 19 on FGs this season

The kickers that you're going to be able to bring in now aren't going to be 80% kickers. It's going to remain around 70-75%. I'm not saying they shouldn't but it's not like we're just gonna find a significant upgrade.

19 of 28 fg….not 11 of 19
14 of 16 <40 yards. He has tried a lot of long ones.
33 of 33 xp

Yea, I looked at the stats wrong on ESPN's site. Still, 67% isn't exactly great.

Also noticed you left off the 1-4 from 40-49 yards.

Not like I’m defending Maher

He could be ofer outside of 40....but at 14 of 16 inside 40, he's sadly, better than anything on the street.
Also the 33 for 33 PATs actually has meaning this year.

Like I said. Wish we had better, but no idea who that would be.

I don’t understand how this rumor got started they were looking for kickers in first place? Garrett never said anything to the sort. He was asked about the kicking situation if they plan on doing anything etc..he gave his textbook scripted Garrett answers with the ...”it’s simething we’ll evaluate” Whenever he says that? It’s a no. They weren’t looking at it as a bigger problem,and that’s a problem. To me anyways and to all you guys...like what the heck man? We’re losing ball games...and they’re just going to “evaluate it”? Evaluate losing a playoff game or out of it to begin with,because you missed a stupid 32yd chip shot wide right then fools...that’s what will happen. No common sense this franchise. Garrett? He doesn’t learn....situations. Does everything else fine...but situations. Don’t run the ball 3 damn times or some dumb sequence of plays to lose a game etc..he reveals in that trash can like Oscar. No coach in history I’ve seen govern over the most stupidest and most incorrect answers on the “do not call this here” questionnaire box than him. He’s the king of it,and I love the guy...but I need to win.
