All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

With all the talk about cuts, where's this guy's name? Isn't he making well over a mill for a friggin kicker? And an average kicker at that

Give RL some credit he did improve last season at least

I stayed away from him my fantasy league but then picked him up he was an offensive machine for us last season.

As much as I've bashed Lindell in the past, I think cutting him would be a mistake. He's finally getting used to the winds and the conditions at the Ralph. Besides, if you wanted to bring in a guy like Vinitari, it would probably cost 4 times as much.

He could go 24 for 25 on the season, but the one miss would be in overtime to give us a lead with 3 seconds left. I just think he's not a kicker that can be relaible when it comes to big kicks. He can make 45 yarders in the 2nd quarter all day long, but when the pressure's on, I just feel like he folds.

Re: Rian Lindell?

When you do not have an offense which can score you need a kicker who can handle the winds. Sometimes you can get lucky with a rookie but mostly you need veteran kickers and veteran kickers to not usually get veteran minimum.

No, I don't want him back ... I just meant, having a clutch kicker around. Look what it's done for the Pats.

Re: Rian Lindell?

Its easy to blame a kicker for not making a crucial kick near the end of a game, but the bottom line is the rest of the team has to score points and do their jobs so it doenst have to come down to a kick. RL was the only consistant player on offense last year (sad to say)

Re: Rian Lindell?

Rian Lindell did an excellent job for us this past season. We have enough holes to fill already, so why cut a guy who was in reality our offensive MVP last year.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
