Opinions are like A-holes, we all have one.
He'll do great for the Jets, they rarely need someone making XP's!Well looks like Carlson will be kicking for the Jets tomorrow.
Anders has to be, beyond a doubt, the worst Xtra Point kicker in NFL history. Anders career XP stats now sit at 43-50, 86%... while his career FG numbers are 38-44, 86.4%.

Silly stat. sample size of 11 where he missed two. Way too small of a sample size to mean much of anything. That being said, Im glad he is kickng elsewhere lol.

Maybe his team should take a delay of game and he'll think it is a FG.
It is, but the point I was trying to make is last year he was brutal on extra points, missing 5.... this year he has missed 2 of 22 total kicks, both being extra points. An extra point is essentially a chip shot 33 yd FG, and missing 7 of 50 over the last 2 years, is inexcusable. I, like you, am glad he isn’t in GB anymore.

I never doubted the strength of his leg. But his accuracy/consistency, or rather the lack of it, makes him a non-starter.

I just watched Anders miss another makeable FG. I couldn't help giggling at the sight of Rodgers on the sideline will Carlson missed.
We are so much better without them.

Before Carlson tried the 49 yard FG, I was thinking here comes a miss wide right. That's exactly what transpired. He's predictable if nothing else.

I was surprised at his actual statistics since he's been with the Jets. Not that I'm not happier the way things are.
Amen to that EG.
I saw Rodgers on the Pat M show last week. He was laughing it up with the boys. Not sure what a QB on a 4-10, now 4-11 team finds so funny at this point in the season. I remember him scolding the organization in the offseason about how everyone needs to be 100% focused on football. I guess that excludes extended media appearances by him, and missing mandatory mini-camp for a vacation in Egypt.
Rodgers is gonna be Rodgers. I liked the early version of Rodgers (kind of like the Skinny Elvis versus Fat Elvis thing) where he really was focused on football and ripping up opponents and winning a lot of games for GB. I guess like Skinny Elvis, Rodgers has morphed into a different person. I liked Skinny Elvis better too.
And Carlson? Hey he's certainly consistent in his inconsistency.
McManus has been remarkably consistent. Granted he's been kicking in the NFL for 10 years. Kickers can have a long career. Hopefully his past problems are behind him and he stays in GB for a while. I trust Gluten with the decision to bring him on.

And it is not like we expect him to kick 60 yarders like Aubrey or some of the boomers in the league. Just be consistent on the very makeable kicks. And of all the flaws in Dallas this season place kicking is not one of them. Stop to think that if Aubrey misses one of those long shots last night the Bucs win the game.
Good point milani. There wasn't an expectation that Crosby could hit, consistently, from 50 yards plus.
And while others disagree, I thought he was very consistent from inside 50. Stats may not bear that out, but I don't remember praying every time he came out to try a FG from the 50 in.
And that seems to be McManus' style, that is, he's reliable from the 50 in. And that's fine. There are very few guys who consistently hit FGs over 50 yards - again just a gut feel.
So as the Packers head into the playoffs, it's good to have a kicker like McManus. I'm still thinking of that gimme that Carlson shanked against the Niners in the playoffs.

That gimme really hurt.
Yeah the Niners just have some weird hold over the Packers.
That won't be a problem this year, but there are other problems like the queens and eagles. Although I think the Packers can beat both teams. We'll get a partial answer next week after visiting MN.

Skinny Elvis didn't invent rock & roll, but he did bring it to the world's attention. Later on, Fat Elvis introduced the rest of the world to fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

I've always heard to add honey and bacon, which definitely elevate this delectable beast. Maybe it's like Cincinnati chili, where you have a 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way version if you add in the honey and/or bacon??
