It looks like Rackers may miss next weeks game as the Cardinals search for a replacement for 1-2 weeks. I guess he tweaked that groin on the 48 yd FG. It's no wonder he didn't get any height on the xtra pt.

Not good... I guess we will have a Sean Suisham (BIM?) sighting?

According to MNF crew, he tweaked it in warmups before the game and showed him coming up gimpy.

I would sign Suisham in a pinch. Long time NFL kicker. Sucks he missed that kick against Saints but for a game or 2 I think he would be fine.

Very bad news. We can probably deal with a lesser kicker field-goal wise. But Rackers is so important on special teams with his coverage and tackling. Don't like this at all, even if it's 'only' the Lions and Rams.

My Goodness. I would hope that a placekicker isn't going to have much of an impact vs the Lions & Rams. Hell, just go for two after every td. All we need is someone to kick extra points. Now, if Rackers is out throughout the playoffs, we will be hurting.

At least 100 kickers finish their eligibility in college football every year. Surely the Cards can find a guy who can kick for a week or several while Rackers recovers.

They may even be able to find a guy who can make clutch Field Goals. :p

Screw kickers. Just go for it on all fourth downs inside the opponent's territory and go for 2 point conversions after each touchdown

Ask the Galaxy to "loan" us Beckham! He could "bend it" from the hash marks without a problem!

That's really not as far fetched an idea as you would think. If we didn't have such a terrific punter I'd be all for it.

I was being facetious but I remember when Kurt was with the Rams and their kicker Wilkins went down for a game. They did exactly that and scored points at will.
