Should we even try a FG over 35 yds?

FG's aren't gonna beat the Saints anyways and if you miss a longer attempt the change in field position will spell doom. I say go for it!

 

[Hostile]

Yes, because it could decide a game. Folk either has to pull his head out or be axed.

I think 40 yards is about the max. distance.

He's a kicker, all he freaking does is kick field goals. We need to find out if he is ready to right the ship or if he need to cut his arse.

Strap a bomb vest on him before he tries the field goal. The only way to deactivate it is by breaking a laser circuit run between the goal post.

Someone tell Tony to run after he kicks it..........just in case.

Maybe we need to get Folk some trick footballs,something akin to what Dangerfield used in Caddyshack.

If it's 40+ I think sadly you have to consider going for the 1st or maybe a trick play.
Not only because of the loss in points but the loss in momentum.

Kicking FGs is useless against the Saints and I have zero faith in Shankapotamus right now.

So I would just go for it myself.

This would mean we'd have to get the ball to the 23 to kick field goals. Wonder if any other team in the league has to get it to the 23 to kick field goals. :

If you have too go for it on 4th down or get the ball to the 23 because you don't trust your kicker, you should cut him period.

Folk should have been cut/benched after the Giants game.

Man I dunno. That's when you know it's bad.

Depends on the distance you have to go to get the 1st down and of course how the game is going.

...because if we don't then that would be singular greatest boost of confidence to the opposing team's defence.

Imagine being a defence and its coordinator knowing a team will not try to score unless it gets to the the 23 or less.

The red zone is now moved back to the 43 yard line with that line of thinking.

This team has to convert opportunities from 50 yards and in. It's that simple.

Now placing this all on Folk is not entirely fair. Lest anyone forget, the offence did get stoned from the one yard line.
