Anyone getting frustrated with Tynes?

[Hammock Parties]

I think he's had a pretty mediocre year. I got really pissed when he shanked that 45-yarder, although it might have been a problem with the hold.

I guess there isn't really a better option out there.

[Reerun_KC]

I am getting tired of Kicking 5 FG's each game though...

Good lord he shouldnt be our primary scoring threat every game....

[El Jefe]

Yes I am, he has been deceant inside of 40yds, the only nice long kick he has had all year was the 53 yarder against SD. We need a new kicker. I think that kick against SD was 53?

[Hammock Parties]

I wouldn't go so far as to say we need a new kicker. There's no one out there that is any better.

[chiefs4me]

he's missed long and short ones all year long..cut him

[Buck]

Yeah it was 53.

[El Jefe]

There will be FA Josh Brown if we can get him away from Seattle.

[Sully]

Frustratedor not, the best point you made is that there is noone better.

[Deberg_1990]

He misses the sort ones, then makes the longer ones....WTF??

and every now and then he misses an extra point...no excuses for that.

[Bob Dole]

Tynes' kicking would improve 100% if we had Huard holding.

[Reerun_KC]

Tynes' kicking would improve 100% if we had Huard holding.

I think the key word is Huard...

He should be in all 3 phases of the game some way some how...

He should be in on Nickle packages, returns and for sure as a WR in the spread formation.

[El Jefe]

Sully "the best point you made is there is no one better". Josh Brown will be a free agent and we could possibly get him if he decides to see whats out there, but we might have to shell out for him. I would stay with Tynes and see if anybody else looks like a good option.

[Skip Towne]

Parcells found one.

[Hammock Parties]

This is why women make horrible football fans.

[El Jefe]

I wouldnt say Gramatica is better than Tynes, theres a reason Gramatica has been on the street more times than a hooker.

[Sully]

Sully "the best point you made is there is no one better". Josh Brown will be a free agent and we could possibly get him if he decides to see whats out there, but we might have to shell out for him. I would stay with Tynes and see if anybody else looks like a good option.

For the money we would have to spend in a bidding war on a kicker, I'd still say Tynes is the best option. So I suppose we agree.

[Hammock Parties]

Seattle would be nuts not to resign Josh Brown.

[El Jefe]

GoChiefs, yeah they would be but I have read in some places he might want to see what or who would want him. But he will sign with Seattle I dont see a chance of him leaving there

[Halfcan]

His kickoffs were pathetic, plus he has always struggled with his accuracy. Cut him!!!!!

[El Jefe]

Halfcan his kickoffs do really suck.

[MadMax]

He would lead the team in sacks....being the beast he is :p

[Skip Towne]

He would lead the team in sacks....being the beast he is :p
I suspect Hootie is involved in this somehow.

[Halfcan]

Halfcan his kickoffs do really suck.

I think one actually hit around the 19 or 20. Another one was at the 12 to 15, and others were at the 10.

He is a freakin undependable Bonehead-hopefully we will get someone good next year.

[Hammock Parties]

I wouldn't call him "undependable." He's very solid under 40 yards. I was expecting him to take his place in the upper echelon of kickers this year, but he hasn't gotten over the hump.

[carlos3652]

wow... you guys are ridiculous..

13-15 under 40
9-13 40+ (2 misses over 50 yards)

79% for the year is not bad...

+ Morten couldnt kick 40+ anyway...

3 years since he has been with us:

Under 40 - 46/50
40+ - 20/34 - 5 misses over 50 + yards...

[chiefs4me]

He's missed seven kicks. I don't consider that particularly good, especially when two were under 40 yards. I expect better.

one missed fg can cost a game..you have to be able to depend on your kicker, it is his only job...:rolleyes:

[Halfcan]

How many Point afters has he missed. Plus I could count on one hand the number of touchbacks he has.

Tynes needs to go.

[Hammock Parties]

How many Point afters has he missed..

One.

Saying he needs to go is all well and good, but there's really only one guy available who's going to be an upgrade.

[PastorMikH]

I didn't get to see the miss tonight but several of his misses this season were because of poor snaps, one he never got to swing at because Colquite botched the snap, tried a forward pass instead but got called for a fumble, the miss against Baltimore sure looked like it was inside the left post to me.


The dude is at 78% and missed 8 FG attempts total - and 3 of those are beyond 50. He isn't doing bad.

[ChiefFan31]

I wouldn't go so far as to say we need a new kicker. There's no one out there that is any better.

I am a little concerned with him for next year. He has missed a few too many this year. His leg strength sure aint the problem. Confidence is everything with kickers (obviously) , but I dont advocate spending a draft pick, and I don't really know who will be available in the offseason.

I think we need to stick with him, but he just has to gain more confidence somehow in the offseason.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Kind of off topic, but do you guys think we'll be active this offseason in free agency? Or will it be just mostly signing our own guys?

Bingo...

[carlos3652]

One.

Saying he needs to go is all well and good, but there's really only one guy available who's going to be an upgrade.

And he has less confidence than Tynes at this point...

[ChiefFan31]

I think we wont be doing much at all in FA this offseason. We have LJ, Mitchell, and possibly TG needing to get their contracts. I dont see how we can have much left. We have to have a good draft in 07 to keep the rebuilding process going. Maybe we could get a decent Guard in FA? I would imagine Shields is going to for sure retire.

Edit - or heck, a decent RT sure would be nice. We dont have one on our roster. Sampson will probably break his leg tripping over some roller skates or falling down the stairs in his home. He seems to be a walking catastrophy.

[Halfcan]

One.

Dragging Gary Anderson out of retirement would be better. There is also an "Idiot" kicker recently cut by dallas that would be a huge upgrade.

[Hammock Parties]

That's a complete joke. I doubt Gary Anderson could make a 40-yarder at this point. Vanderjagt is a shank artist extraordinare. Tynes is easily superior to both.

[chagrin]

dude, Tynes has always been inconsistent and you have always been his supporter, now you complain and expect everyone to follow you?

No thanks

[Hammock Parties]

I don't expect everyone to follow me. He was better earlier this year. His stock has fallen over the last month.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Will Ty Law be back?

[Halfcan]

That's a complete joke. I doubt Gary Anderson could make a 40-yarder at this point. Vanderjagt is a shank artist extraordinare. Tynes is easily superior to both.

Vanderfag can at least kick off. You can't blame the shitty kickoffs on Dustin.

[Halfcan]

Dustin-73 yard punt-maybe he should kick off instead of that puzzy chokeartist Tynes.

[Hammock Parties]

Dustin-73 yard punt-maybe he should kick off instead of that puzzy chokeartist Tynes.

Are you really this stupid?

Colquitt's punt didn't travel 73 yards in the air.

[milkman]

Are you really this stupid?

I'm just going to assume that's a rhetorical question.

[alanm]

There's nothing wrong with Tynes. You guys are really grasping at straws tonight. :hmmm:

[Valiant]

I wouldn't go so far as to say we need a new kicker. There's no one out there that is any better.


I think he is hurt... His kickoffs have been short since that tackle about two months ago, at the begining of the year they were right at the endzone, now they are 10-15 yard line...

[tk13]

Vanderfag can at least kick off. You can't blame the shitty kickoffs on Dustin.
No he couldn't... that was most of the reason he always went after Dungy in the media... Dungy would always bring in kickoff specalists because Vanderjagt couldn't cut it on kickoffs.

[bringbackmarty]

where do you find a list of all the current nfl kickers so you can compare all of them @ once?

[Deberg_1990]

If he could just stop missing the stuff from 25-40 yards and the extra point stuff he would be great. Its a concetration problem of some sort??

[RedThat]

I think Tynes is a solid kicker. But he can be at times, inconsistent.

I think its clear his game needs work. I definately wouldn't consider him amongst the top kickers in the game.

I would like to see him be more automatic, especially kicking between 30-40 yards. Some of his missed FGs have made differences in ballgames. Just think if he had made those kicks, the outcome of the games might have been different? :shrug:

[Mecca]

If they pay Kawika Mitchell it will be a sure sign of the stupidity of this organization.....also giving LJ an extension after this year would be stupid too, considering the history of backs with these sort of carries. We'd look real smart to sign him to a new deal and have him not be the same....

They'll probably be active because they weren't very active last year. But it will be the general Carl, sign the players 30+ with big names give everyone hope be about the same team we were this year.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Will Law be back next year?

[Hootie]

Tynes' kicking would improve 100% if we had Huard holding.
I'm going to punch you in the face.

[Hootie]

That's a complete joke. I doubt Gary Anderson could make a 40-yarder at this point. Vanderjagt is a shank artist extraordinare. Tynes is easily superior to both.
why are you trying to talk football with Halfcan?! You and I both know that is totally pointless.

they OWE him a new deal after this year...

[Easy 6]

Tynes will return, the guy still has room to grow & i believe he will.

Tynes > Whats available

[StcChief]

Tynes is fine. Everybody misses occasionally.

[LanceHunter]

True , misse are part of the game , Tynes is better than what we have had in the recent past , theres a lot more wrong with this team than the kicking game for sure. Might as well renew his contract , has to be a smarter move than keepin that wannabe Sims.

[Reerun_KC]

Agree leave Tynes alone...

[bringbackmarty]

the elite kickers are @ 90% or better,
There are 10 or so with 80% or better, tynes @ 78% is in the top of the lower half.

[carlos3652]

Tynes is #5th in FG's made in the NFL...

You also have to realize that Tynes kicked 14 times over 40+ yards...

Out of the 19 K that are 80% or better this year, only 4 have kicked 14+ past 40 yards... only 8 including the 4 metioned have kicked 10+ longer than 40+

On the flip side, the less you kick, the better % you have...

And J. Brown, who everyone here thinks Seattle would be stupid to let go is:

Under 40: 11/13 (Tynes 15/17)
40+: 10/14 (Tynes 9/14)

Very similar to Tynes #'s...

[Hammock Parties]

9/14 from 40+ sucks compared to 15/17

[carlos3652]

9/14 from 40+ sucks compared to 15/17

Huh?

15/17 is Tynes from under 40... Brown is 11/13

Over 40, Brown is 10/14. Tynes is 9/14...

Are you confused....???

[JBucc]

Lets sign Gary Coleman to be our kicker, and sign of those big guys from the worlds strongest man competition to be the holder. Then they can snap it Gary and have the big strong guy pick him up and throw him through the uprights like that metal guy did with Wolverine in X-men 3. This might work with Dante and Dunn.

[Mecca]

9/14 from 40+ sucks compared to 15/17

You read those stats wrong......

[Hammock Parties]

Yeah, my bad. LOL

[bringbackmarty]

Looking at them like that, Tynes is not so bad, I guess good teams actually attempt fewer fg from that distance. I think there is room for improvement though, especially on kickoffs. If Tynes could have given us one more fg vs denver we are in the playoffs.
