Do we carry two kickers next week?

I say yes! Next game is too important.

I don't care if Maher's ego maybe bruised. If he can't handle having someone pressuring him then he's not going to perform in pressure situation anyway.
Perspective
These were not FGs he missed.
These were XPs!!!
5 in a row!!
This was not just a bad day at the office
2 weeks in a row
I have no confidence he will bounce back.

That wasn’t just a player having a bad game, that was rubber room stuff

I’d say most average high school kickers can get at least one out of four extra points.

Never. If you don't trust the kicker you have, you replace him if a better option is available.

This is the second round of the playoffs, there are no good kickers sitting on their couch right now.

You got to let the dude try and get his mind right during the week, but if he misses his first kick in Levi next week, you got to start rolling with 2 pt conversions. You cant leave 3-4 points on the field at this level in the playoffs, that will get you beat.

A few years back, Tiger Woods couldn't hit a chip shot to save his life. His shanks were so bad that all he could do is bump & run a 6-iron. To this day, there's only one person I would trust to get up & down to win a major tournament and that's Tiger. Poop happens. It's how someone responds to adversity that makes them the best at what they do. I'm sticking with Maher and could see him being the MVP of the SF game.
How long did it took Tiger to fix his yips?
you want our next Playoff game to be dependent on Maher?

If we weren’t able to score TDs Monday night against Tampa Bay then the score would have been 0-0 at half time.

If Dallas weren’t able to score TDS in the first half then the half time score would have been 0-0 instead of 18-0. Completely different game.

SF is again on grass.

This thread reminds me how I long for QBs who could kick like George Blanda, or punt like Danny White. Was so useful back in the day when your QB could serve two roles.

As you were.

Yes. He has missed 5 out of the last 6 XPs. What are we going to do if he misses his first 2 kicks during the niners game? Go for 2 after every TD? Go for it instead of kicking a 20 yard field goal?

Yes we don't need Zeke
