If fans ran teams, they would have 16 starting line-ups and a decade of 2-14 seasons. Thank goodness people with the football smarts don't have the same knee-jerk philosophy.
Knee-jerk philosophy? Let's see, I'll give you two examples: John Carney missed field goals, Sean Payton cuts him. Nick Folk misses field goals (the last straw was the New Orleans game), Jerry Jones cuts him. Do those teams play this weekend? Yes. Do the Texans? No. Why? We couldn't make field goals. We couldn't make one to tie in Indy. I'll give him a pass on that one. We couldn't make one to tie at home on MNF. Hell, it could have been the one to win if he had made on earlier in the game. And it just continued. This last New England game was especially bad. The dude just sucks.
This is really the first time I've seen anybody want to keep a kicker after he misses so many field goals because he is a good guy.
I'm glad fans aren't running teams either, because if so, we'd probably still be trotting out David Carr.
