He has done one hell of a job IMO. To lose his job to unproven rookie is gonna be hard to stomach I believe. Once Hopkins gets well

Re: Get Rid of Dan Carpenter???
Yeah he has been solid so far and he hit a 50 yard field goal last night. I dont remember the last time a Bills kicker has made one of those.To be the man you got to beat the man!Comment

Re: Get Rid of Dan Carpenter???
The offense wasnt all bad last night at times they looked like they were clicking then other times looked like they could be stopped by a pee wee team. But that goes for the whole team last night.Originally posted by TacklingDummy View PostComment

Re: Get Rid of Dan Carpenter???
Although if you're going to suck, might as well get the rookie kicker some experience.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Bills should just IR Hopkins this year and go with Carpenter and have an open competition next year.Comment

Re: Get Rid of Dan Carpenter???
Dan Carpenter has earned the starting job as our kicker. Dustin Hopkins needs to be placed on the practice squad, sent to IR or simply cut. We need the roster spot for a QB or CB.
Carpenter been consistent in hitting field goals. He's shown the ability to nail long kicks over 50. He's done a good job at sending kickoffs into the end zone. Exactly what you want out of your kicker.
Hopkins has a big leg, but was VERY inconsistent in the preseason - both in field goals and in keeping kickoffs from going out of bounds.2013 "My Should Have" Draft

Through 5 games, I've seen enough of Powell. He needs to be replaced ASAP.
He basically cost us the game against Cleveland.2013 "My Should Have" Draft

Re: Get Rid of Dan Carpenter???
Has anyone seen how awful Lindell has been?I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.

I agree. They are tying up a useful player spot with two kickers. Could use another DB.Originally posted by PTI View PostComment
