Let’s pump the brakes on McPherson - Frank Booth - 10-10-2021

Complain about Zac Taylor blowing it, I get it.

But the way they used Mcpherson today is how Matt Prater is used, Justin Tucker is used, how Zurlein used to be used.

It’s how the best kickers in the league are used.

That 57 yard miss I don’t care about

But you expect a supposed stud like Mcpherson to hit a 49 yarder for the win.

He’s not an elite kicker. Not yet. Especially with that Jacksonville miss last week in the first quarter also looming over him.

So let’s pump the brakes on Mcpherson being great, for now

You're aware tucker has missed field goals right?

RE: Let’s pump the brakes on McPherson - Synric - 10-10-2021

How many missed kicks were here 6 or 7 including extra points?

Pretty sure Tucker only has 1 missed game winning field goal from under 50

I think he only has 1 missed game winning field goal ever.

So has McPherson.  So by your own logic they are the same

Yea but that only missed game winner for Tucker came in his 7th season

Mcpherson already blowing game winners from under 50

I’m just saying, let’s not crown him as special, yet. He’s middle of the road

And I hope Taylor realizes this as well. Mcpherson isn’t Matt Prater. Not even close.

I'm not giving up on McPherson by any means, but Tucker is in his 10th season and has only missed 13 kicks inside the 50 in his career.

I don't like comparing a rookie to a future Hall of Famer, regardless of the position. That's too much expectation and pressure. He should rebound and be a good one, though.

RE: Let’s pump the brakes on McPherson - CJD - 10-10-2021

I do think Zac leaned too heavily on McPherson today. He ran on 3rd down both times prior to the kicks because, in his mind, he didn't need the first down.

This is what makes Zac a bad coach. McPherson should have made the 49 yarder, but Zac should not have placed all his eggs in that basket. He should have played for the first down and settled for the field goal if he missed the first down. Playing for the field goal is how you lose the game.

Let’s be honest, a lot of mcphersons kicks have almost clipped the goal posts. A good number of them have almost missed

Is it really fair to make that assessment after 4 games?

I swear Bengals fans are the worst.

I hate the kicker position. It's goofy. Missin' Crosby and Hardly Deserves a Nickname were terrible today.

Zac made the same mistake we all did

Thinking Mcpherson is one of the top kickers in the league

Zac and the rest of us learned differently today.

No more thinking Mcpherson can bail us out

For the record I didn't make the comparison.  The op did.

Oh, I know, I wasn't accusing you or anything. I was just throwing out my opinion there so someone didn't come by later to accuse me of hating on Bengals players. Lol

RE: Let’s pump the brakes on McPherson - Synric - 10-10-2021

We should be asking why there were 6 or 7 missed kicks. Not why McPherson missed at 49. Felt like they were on grass in England.

Yea the hype went a little overboard haha. He's definitely a good kicker and that 57 yarder was so close and had plenty of leg. But he's still a rookie and I think Zac disregarded that fact.
