Dustin Hopkins Sucks Post Game Thread

I wanted Hopkins gone a few years ago when he was blowing kicks regularly.

I'd be happy to see him go now, but like other people have pointed out, everybody else out there is either just as good, or worse...

The defense was gashed most of this game on the ground, they showed up in the clutch tho.

Offense just sucks, no other way around it. Haskins is bad but he doesn't have many weapons to work it just like Alex doesn't.

Terry , J.D and Logan Thomas are legit the only options.

BTW, How about Thomas?? Holy shit.

Overall, I figured we'd lose by more and I'm glad this team fights in every game.

8-8 and a division crown would be a huge improvement

Hopkins has missed two extra points this year. His conversion rate is right on par with the league average. Missing a game tying extra point in the closing minutes of a game is one thing, but you can’t blame a kicker for a loss because he missed an extra point with 14 minutes left in an 11 point game. Hopkins doesn’t suck, Hopkins is average. I’m all for replacing replacing him with a better kicker, the problem is that most unsigned kickers tend to be worse than average.

He's missed a kick in NINE games this year. There's only two kickers in the league (who have attempted at least 25 FGs) with a worst FG percentage. That is not average.

Hopkins didn't lose the game today, but that missed extra point factored in big time. If he kicks better this year, I can find at least two if not three more wins.

At least the field looked good in a December game. That was a pleasant surprise

That missed pat would be the last straw. That game at least should have been in OT. Enough is enough.

Might need to use one of our 7th rounders on a kicker. Drafting one is the best way to guarantee you get a high upside K.

Err, Roberto Aguayo anyone?

The game went a little better than I thought, I believed we would have lost by 2-3 TDs but the defense did the best they could. They shut down Metcalf (bad for me cuz of FFL) and Lockette, but didn't do a great job of defending against the running game. The offense singlehanded lost this game for us - Haskins's 2 ints hurt us.

If we play Seattle again in playoffs, this time with Smith, I think we would have a good chance of winning the game.

I want to roll with Haskins the rest of the way. I want to see more 4th qtr DH before we dump him.

If AS is the plan next year...fuck me...

This

I still want Alex playing. It is nice that Dwayne finally played one good quarter of football but that is not enough to make me believe he is not a bust.
Also it is nice being a second half team that can make adjustments but what the hell is the problem with our first halves? Are we game planning all wrong? Do we not spend enough time in the film room? It is like the first half is our film. It is not sustainable to always be down two scores nearing half.

We can blame Hopkins for not being able to make it to OT but let us not forget that if Dwayne doesn’t force two balls into triple coverage down in fg range we win without OT.
