If we dont show faith in him he wont have faith in himself. Then he's really gonna shank kicks

Much rather him miss now than in the PO. It would have been nice for him to redeem himself in OT, but just didn't get the chance. Maybe next time.

How about Moorestead? Let him kick the field goals too! J/k, I'm willing to give anyone more chances. I have made my mistakes too.

You may well find Morstead kicking a very long one, one day. I believe, Saints are trying to keep him away from FG attempts at the mo.

The way Payton has been with specialists in the past couple years, I was figuring his job was in jeopardy. But to read how Payton is still standing behind this kid and the fact that he went so far as to say this guy will be our kicker for the next 5-7 years is astounding. That right there proves how good he is.

As for Hartley, he shouldn't have to be in that position anyway. We have the #1 offense in the NFL and only mustered up 17 points? I might be getting spoiled, but we should have steamrolled the Bucs like we did earlier and not relied on a field goal to win it.

Garret, if you're reading this.....keep your head up bro, we got your back!
I'll be putting my order in for a #5 Hartley jersey!

I just wanted to bring this thread back..............well deserving kid!
