I jokingly go back and forth with CK in chat about this but I don’t recall bad snaps being the cause of missed FGs. What is it that makes the LS the villain?
He had a tell that the Bears used to block a FG attempt, as they got a much better jump at the snap. IMO his snaps are a little slow and, while they aren't off by enough to have aborted attempts, it's not as smooth an operation as you'd like. At least the Bears blocked the FG though, to help us get Mendoza.Xramfan wrote: Sun Feb 22, 2026 5:50 pm I jokingly go back and forth with CK in chat about this but I don’t recall bad snaps being the cause of missed FGs.

Pretty much where Im at. You can find a good reliable kicker anywhere these days it seems. There's no need to pay a kicker. There are guys off the street doing what Carlson doesraiders72 wrote: Mon Feb 23, 2026 10:52 am Let this stooge walk
I’m tired of paying these K’s above average coin because they all flame out
Draft a K with one of the 10 7th round picks they have or find an undrafted Guy like Dallas did and move on
Not to mention that dumbass ST coach put a defensive tackle as the edge protector in place of Mayer when he went down.chucker wrote: Sun Feb 22, 2026 6:10 pm He had a tell that the Bears used to block a FG attempt, as they got a much better jump at the snap.

Like with placekicker though, I don't care that much about the long snapper this year. Both are positions that could be fixed with a bit of money in 2027 when wins and losses might mean something.
I'm just treating 2026 like the 2027 preseason. I don't want us to tank, I just am not really worried about wins.
