PS: Personal note: Jerry Jones should have kept K Lirim Hajrullahu "just in case" because of Greg Zuerlein's inconsistent leg rearing its ugly head once again right as the playoffs are right around the corner. o_O

What do you think about all of this inconsistency at kicker with the playoffs 1 game away from starting?

I'm very concerned about this kicking game. It's one thing to miss a 49 yard FG but extra points and 30 to 40 yard FGs should be pretty much an automatic. They should of addressed this problem after his 3rd easy miss. I was sitting next to a Ram fan last week and he said that's exactly why they let him go.

Sunday's game was like a playoff game and we saw what happened. We're not going to win these close games against equal/better opponents when we're basically holding our collective breath every time the kicker goes out for an extra point or a 40 yard FG.

Range was a factor...but now, weather probably plays more of a role.

Factor in some cross wind and he is 50-50 at best. He relies on a lot of movement on his kicks if you notice. His ball a lot of times starts out to the right and hooks back. I'm a golfer and if your starting point isn't exact each time (which his isn't) and then you add the weather element it then becomes a crap shoot.

This problem should never have been a Jerry problem. This is a MM problem, and MM is a fraud…this is just 1 example. I think Jerry has a short leash on MM.

It’s all Jerry’s problem.
If as you say MM is a fraud, then why did Jerry hire him?

I’m sure Jerry hired him based on the interview and MM coaching philosophy…just like any other GM. And I’m sure I don’t need to explain to you that sometimes these coaches don’t workout…but 8n all seriously, if our head coach does not have the where with all to move on from a kicker…then what good is he…

I am the GM then I look at the kicker that took over when Greg was out. He hit all his kicks. Don’t make him better than Greg. I just knew he would mis Sunday but hoped he wound not. Close games we need every point we can get. And early. It’s a confidence thing. Drive the ball down and come away with nothing. Every team from here on out will be playoff caliber teams..

Also I would have fired the O-Line coach. These penalties and lack of aggression on blocks is on him. Bring in Colombo if needed. He had them power blocking. Like in the past. Now we need a 300 pound O-Lineman as a FB to create a hole to run through..

Two other kickers have been used this season...try one of them. That's who...

Lirim Hajrullahu is the one you want, he’s on another team though and hasn’t made a kick over 40 yards yet(in a small sample size). He’s been money on XPs though. Still not sure trust is the word I would use with him.

Not defending zuerlein, he needs replaced this offseason. I just don’t know that another pickup in week 18 or after is trustworthy. It’s the devil you know vs the devil you don’t. The guy who makes 80% of his kicks, gives you a shot at the long ones, strong with kickoffs, and knows all your trick plays is probably better to keep than roll the dice on someone this late.
