Hopkins cost us 2 maybe 3 games this year. We could be 10 - 5 if Hopkins has a better season.

If we get in as the 6th seed, shouldn't we play the 3rd seed. I thought we would play the Seahawks in Seattle. Dallas and Atlanta will have week one off; 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5.

Giants will play Lions or GB, We play Seattle.

If we had gone 10 - 6 or 11 - 5 would our opinion of the Joe Barry be different? Would we have a more positive outlook going into the playoffs.

I guess Gruden / Scott M doesn't want to take the chance that Hopkins is just "off", and would go on and be a reliable player somewhere else, which has been the problem with some of our kickers that we've released. That being said, i think you bring in another leg in training camp next year and if Hopkins struggles you release him, but at least give him another off-season to see if he gets better..
