Honestly. Teams who fuck up their field need to pay huge penalties. There’s no excuse for your stadium to be this shitty. At the very least stop milking these stadiums for every penny by trying to cram in every event possible during the football season. [Reply]
Just bought his jersey. Dude had a terrible start to the year with his very first kickoff, then had to not only get healthy, but had to listen to all the dipsticks in his own fan base shitting on him all season, just so he could win both the AFCCG and the Super Bowl. It seemed like the least I could do. [Reply]
#Chiefs K Harrison Butker joined an exclusive club two weeks ago by making a game-winning kick in a Conference Championship game, and then did it again two weeks later in the Super Bowl. pic.twitter.com/2FP9rng6Op

As for the snaps and holds, if you believe they were at fault, let's pray that gets fixed too.
The good news is that the "kicking game" is a very fixable thing during the off season.
I'm very optimistic.
Mentally he's fine. He missed just one kick over the last four games. He has the entire offseason to get 100% healthy with that ankle, and it should be 100% in the next couple months.
The holds and the snaps, well they are just what they are. Overall, Winchester is a pretty good long snapper, but he does occasionally have accuracy issues. In his defense, most LS do.
Townsend will probably get better at putting the ball in the right spots, but really his issue as far as I can tell is that he's slow getting the ball down.
This isn't normally that big an issue, but if the snap is off-target, then Tommy is slow getting the ball down, turning the ball laces out, getting the lean correct, Butker is already on the downswing of his kick, and part of his brain is screaming at him, "you're going to kick his hand!"
Regardless, Butker will kick about 90% next season. You can take that to the bank. [Reply]

If he can get to or exceed 90% that would be grand... [Reply]
