STUGGLING to make kicks before the game. (now we
know exactly why Payton called a fake last week)
Just thinking of how much Payton has done to improve
the kicking game from last year - if it costs us a game,
I may throw up.

Prediction:
The Saints will give up 300+ yards and Dallas will keep it close until the 4th qtr.
Saints 26 Dallas 24

Good post for the most part but at the end of last year our kicking game was addressed with Hartley and he was perfect going 13-13 on FG. We also resigned Carney at the beginning of this year so you can't say the kicking game wasn't addressed. No one can see in the future to know that both would struggle making kicks. Now Troy and Buckhead made a comment about him struggling but being on line on Sunday Jeff Duncan tweeted that Hartley was banging them in from 58 yards and didn't comment on him missing any so can't really verify that since I wasn't there. Maybe someone else whom was at the game can chime in. But other than that I agree with the rest of your post.

I did not mean to insinuate that the kickers weren't addressed. I meant to cite the previous season with Grammatica.

I hear ya! I was too happy with the midget either. Jimmy Kimmel killed me when he would do the skit with the Grammaticas.
