CUT HIM. He's worthless. Get rid of him.
I dont know if I agree with you, but I cant disagree with you.
Two weeks in a row. He has cost us 1 game and a chance to win one in overtime. He missed two field goals tonight and 2 against the chiefs (I think).

If you cannot rely on your kicker to make it from 30 yards out to win the game then what is the point of paying him millions of dollars.
He should be cut. No other kicker would be given this much room for error.
Granted Rackers screwed the pooch tonight, but it never should have come down to him. If we can't score TD's with all the opportunities we had tonight, we are setting ourselves up for the loss.
I also am not happy with Rackers at the moment. But rather than just bitch about his performance, I am wondering what is it that has caused the shift from last seasons "sure thing".
Is it simply confidence, since he missed some kicks that weren't under the smoothest circumstances early in the season? Could he have an injury that he is hiding? (Didn't Racker's get the job with Arizona due to injury to the previous kicker? The guy he "subbed" for never got another shot...) Could there be something amiss in the snap and or hold?
Understand I am not making excuses for Rackers. I just don't understand how a guy that was "money in the bank" last year keeps blowing it this year.

Totally agree when a kicker loses his nerve it's over. Kickers get cut in the NFL all the time for this, remember in 98 we replaced Butthead with Jacke for that very reason.
God this was bad we're 2-4 with 2 easy wins in a row lined up if they just hold the damn lead.

I have noticed that his kickoffs have been nowhere near as long as they were last year. Way too many around the 5 yard line this year.
Maybe we should cut Player first as a sacrifice, I'm ok with that before we throw Rackers under the bus.
If it dosen't work then Rackers goes off at the next stop, sound good?
That doesn't even make any sense. Player didn't kick the damn ball. There was nothing wrong with the hold. This isn't a "laces out" situation. This is a f@#^ up choke situation.
BS. He soaked in all the adulation of last season and signed a big damn extension. You want to be a big time kicker, you come through in the clutch, who the hell cares how he got there.
