It appears obvious you wonder what keeps him here.

We have a top 5 punter in the league. We have an impressive rookie kicker. And in spite of that we have far and away the worst the special teams in the league. Also the worst special teams in franchise history, and there have been some doozies.

The way things are going, we should put Brandin Cooks in at holder so at least we have speed on the field to run down the other team. Gotta do something since we can't seem to fire golden boy McMahon.

Fire Payton too.

I can't believe commentators are still talking about our super bowl win, seriously what has payton done since?

How the hell he got a 5 year extension is beyond me, 3 straight losing seasons and soon to be bottom of the south.

The sad thing is the defense is showing up and we're losing

I guess I'll be the one to say that our kicker is really, really bad.

Of course McMahon needs to go. Our special teams have been bad all around for years. But blocks are 90% of the time the fault of the kicker, and the one tonight was definitely his fault. Nobody got through. A guy just stuck his hand in the air and magically blocked it. You HAVE to get the ball up. Especially on a chip shot like that, you have no excuse not to make sure that you get well under that ball. This has been happening all season.

He's had numerous kicks blocked, and a hand full of others that were tipped, including on PAT's. He's doinked at least one or two PAT's off the upright that he got lucky on, and has had his fair share of regular missed FG's. His whole thing was supposed to be about his strong leg, and yet we've seen a couple of 50 plus yarders fall short, because he miss-hit it. His kickoffs don't consistently get deep like Morestead used to do.

I tried saying this weeks back and seemed that few really agreed. Am I still in the minority, or are we just going to keep talking about McMahon?

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

He's a rookie so me personally he gets some slack....these past 2 weeks were NOT his fault don't know where those percentages came from but yea the Kid is pretty good...Sean is not reason for special teams mishaps I honestly cant blame Sean for these past 2 losses definitely not Denver...Im pretty sure he emphasized security on the FG's it comes down to the ST coach at the end of the day

Devante Harris?

I dont know what's gotten into this defense but I like it

The one last week was a PAT. Yes a guy jumped over the line and part of that blame goes to the line, but if Lutz had been quicker to the ball and gotten the ball up higher it shouldn't have been blocked.

I said that the one tonight was his fault, and yes, it was his fault. Nobody penetrated through the line, nobody jumped over. He kicked it straight into the raised arms of a lineman. That CAN'T happen on a short field goal, and yet it did. That is absolutely on Lutz, and for the life of me I can't understand why people keep giving him a pass. I know he's a rookie. But this has been going on all year long. And kickers don't have to learn a play book. They just kick. So how much should I put on the fact that he's a rookie?

I didn't see these excuses being made for Hocker last year.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Who catches the kickoff on the 1 yard line on the sideline? That's a peewee league football mistake. High schoolers know better than that.

Do they even practice special teams during the week?
