this week when he attempts a FG. We have to remember he did make the first and the second that should have been made just missed. I still like the deep kickoffs Rackers is able to get. Before we had him you had to hold your breath everytime we had a kick off and was returned for usually great field position.

I am also very disappointed with the miss, but there several other mistakes that cost us this game. Giving up over 30 points to SF was hard to take by itself.

Yes, I think you will be the only one. I'd rather have two more victories than all his touchbacks

Most NFL games are won by a FG. I'll continue to say Rackers performance lacks when it counts most. He is simply not very good for this team.

Games are also won by playing smart, tough, disciplined football. I guess the coach has to go too.

MESA! :thud:
If I were there, I would not boo Rackers. I want him cut, very badly, but I won't boo my team.

I'm with you. I hate this aspect of the game. You would think that Rackers took hostages on a school bus. Its pathetic how it turns into pure character assassination. If Rackers does end up getting cut, they find someone they think can do better, thats all good, its just the nature of this business. But until then, I am pulling for the guy, to get an opportunity to become a hero again and remind people why his kicking shoes are at Canton. Thats the story I'm holding out for. I'm all for seeing him come roaring back to life. Even at the risk of hearing all the roars and complaints of those that will say it has ruined our perfect opportunity to cut him.

Why would anyone boo him? Is that going to help him kick an accurate FG? Or help the Cardinals win a game?

I understand the frustration, but booing him won't help, folks.

Well, booing Barr after his punt, did seem to help him get cut.

I didn't boo him, I'm just saying.

Anyone who sucks will get booed/yelled at once they mess up regardless of what team they play for.

I will SCREAM at him once he misses his first kick Sunday. He sucks

It's illogical to boo a team, or it's individuals, which you claim to support.

Booing ought to be reserved for poor officiating! :cool:

I won't boo him. A) I don't like booing your own players. B) He's so mentally fragile that if we boo him, he'll start shanking Extra Points.

Yes.

Cause I will boo him until he at least breaks even on game winning field goals.

Are you suggesting that the reason Whis cut Barr was due to fan's booing? :lol:

If anyone even thinks it played any part in it, we should fire Whis immediately.. No coach should be waivered by crowd response in any way.. I personally think the booing had nothing to do with it.. Heck, Whis might have been booing too.. Barr just sucked and was cut.. Done deal..

You're right. The crowd has absolutely no outcome on the game.
