Hartley could miss 6-10 weeks with hip flexor

It's a freak injury. Damn. Better get Carney practicing in case Kasey can't figure it out.

I think we should go for 2 every time...and on 4th either punt or go for it.

A) The hip flexors are the group of muscles that pull the knee upward, so if a kicker is going to hurt anything, that would be it. And if those muscles aren't working, then you can't kick.

B) Payton has said from the beginning Morestead and Daniels weren't able to hold for Kasay correctly, and haven't been getting the ball on the ground for him right yet. I agree with whoever said Morstead should do it, since he is awesome at doing all of the most thankless jobs on the team better than anyone else in the league.

C) If we did end up getting rid of our kicker and playing Madden football, go for it every time or punt, and won a Super Bowl, would that change the league? Would the field goal become an archaic and forgotten play like the drop kick?

I just found out Kasay missed a extra point and Field goal. What the hell is all that pratice for and you come in and F*&k up. Is there any young legs out there we can bring in.

Not good, not good at all. He's a young man? He should not be having injuries like that this soon. I could see rolling the dice on 3rd down b/t 35-40 yd line. If we convert a good percentage of those then it may not be that big of a deal. What is Kasay's range these days?

Well, seeing as he missed an extra point last night, I'd say that with the wind at his back he could probably boot one in with confidence from oh about the 1 and a half yard line, LOL....
