I expect he'll be released this week and we sign someone to bolster our special teams. They certainly need it. |

Yeah give the Kid his job back. It will also free up a roster spot too.

I've been a fan of Hartley since he came in last year. We need for him to keep nailing his field goals and stay consistent. Let's hope he's the next coming of Morten Andersen.

If we haven't used Hartley there is a reason for it. Elam missed 2 as well...maybe the holders farted.

The vortex was created with such force that the farty air hit Carney in the face like he actually had his head next to his own ass. The smell was so pungent and sulfuric, it went directly to Carney's nerves, creating a nerve "shiver", which consequently made his leg twitch and the FG was missed. In a fart shell, I mean a nut shell; that's what happened. |

Because the team has been scoring a lot of points and end up winning games, no one has really made a stink about it - well, I have . Monday was the first time those 3 points could've made a difference since the score was so close. I guess everyone remembers the Jacksonville game, and Carney missing that XP, and a lot of people think that put the Saints out of the playoffs that year, which isn't true. BUT, the one I remember, is the missed field goal in the 2006 NFC championship game, with the score 14-17. The missed field goal gave the Bears good field position, they went on to score, and the Saints never recovered. Look, nothing against the man, but he's 45, and he's missing some cheap shots. |
