Last time Bert got a kicker off of a practice squad, it turned out pretty well. Maybe this will too.

I am sure they are aware of his college stats. Let's not act like we have idiots running the team like other teams. Then again there may not have been much to choose from.

Good to know. Thanks

Why so chippy?

Ooh, I hadn't thought about that last kickoff. Any chance that he caught a cleat in the turf on that play, or that he was already hurt?

That's a lot of potential points left on the field. Have to hope we don't need him until he gets plenty of reps on the repaired leg. Tough season...but we just keep winning so....

Pointing out you are a reerun would likely have the opposite affect.

Oh good. It's been a few weeks since we've had a roster changing injury. :banghead:

He’s 6’2” and over 200.

Profiles similarly to Buttkicker. Unlike those 2 Matts from the 2022 season.

OK, so we need to score touchdowns and hope for the best.

WTF man?

Well, according to Wiki he is perfect:

Year Team GP Overall FGs PATs Kickoffs Total points
FGA FGM Pct Lng XPA XPM Pct KO Avg TB
2024 IND 1 0 0 – – 3 3 100.0 5 65.0 5 3
Career 1 0 0 – – 3 3 100.0 5 65.0 5 3

I trust Dave toub

Do we need to sacrifice a live chicken to end this injury bullshit?

What could it hurt? No wait, I didn't mean to phrase it that way.

I sure wouldn't mind if Jobu took the curse off Pat's deep ball.

PRAISE GOD

What this mean Clayster

Thanks to Tucker and Pineiro missing a few field goals yesterday he's now currently #1 in accuracy.

Okay and he thinks women belong in the kitchen this dude is the shit!!!

More on the political side of things, feel free to move since it has nothing to do with his injury.

well we're waiting

So is there a story?

Click through to the tweet and it’s in the responses to it.

Honestly....I stopped reading X when people got all idiotic about a year ago.

What is the story if you don't mind?

Butker is accused of starting a conservative PAC which raised $36K but spent it all on office supplies.

Hahaha. :thumb:

Basically Butker's political fund raiser was the equivalent of Bird Lady's catering the Arrowhead Kingdom Invades Atlanta event

This is going to be predictable. lol. For those that don’t know: “CREW” is a left wing organization associated with the Clintons. (See David Brock. Time magazine: “One of the most influential political operatives in the Democratic party.”) They target conservative politicians and conservative public figures. Their leaders are huge anti-Trumper‘s. Don’t let the org’s name fool you. They get big funding from Soros groups. Not trying to be political here, just illuminating the facts.

Makes me like him even more tbh. The world needs more office supplies.

Thanks....

those particular "citizens" who are for ethics is a bit of an oxymoron

Not exactly. Says it spent $100 on office supplies and the rest on fundraising.

Lots of nonprofits spend a portion of their funds on fundraising, but not 90%.

Gotcha. Confession: I scrolled for about 3 seconds before losing interest so might have missed some key points in my summary.

It’s really not that exciting.

You could explain it that he hired a bunch of fundraising companies to help him raise money, they barely raised anything, and everything went to them.

It’s bad business rather than something nefarious.

Great take. Appears that partisans are trying to defame Butker & discourage others from making public comments that they disagree with. Will be interesting to see where this story lands with local media if the propaganda has legs. Trying to be non-political, but this thread might be destined for DC. Hoping Butker is back to form when the post-season starts. Go Chiefs!

JC, this is the longest 4 weeks in human history. When is Butker supposed to get back on the gd field already?

I'm thinking it's gonna end up being 5 weeks. Not sure they will run him out there right away.

When one of the third string kickers starts to look like Justin Tucker.

Makes sense. If he was actually grifting folks out of their money he probably wouldn't have dumped nearly all of what he raised into fundraising. If anything he may have been taken advantage of a bit by bad actors.

Damn. I'd pay $$$ to see him run out on the field this weekend. Anything to make this dumbass thread go away, lol.

I just can't imagine Butker being THAT stupid; the contracts explicitly spell out how much they'll take for expenses. Otherwise, he can sue them. But, perhaps he is. Of course, I also can't imagine anyone being stupid enough to send him money. Ultimately, though, it's difficult to feel too sorry for those reeruns, as I can't imagine what they thought was actually going to happen with their money.

So anyway...
He coming back soon?

We were 2 inches away from this thread having a hundred more posts tonight.

I'm honestly good with that to tell you the truth, Great actually.

Yeah we are going to need him. Wright doesn't have a big leg. And it appears he succumbs to pressure. Almost missed a chip shot in a big moment.

Our Hall of Fame kicker is a part of all of this.

What's the latest timeline? We were so fortunate tonight we finally needed one of these guys to make a long one and he hit it. He's hit two game winners.

But we could really use Butker against the Steelers because that's probably a field goal game in cold weather.

Remember when people around here wanted to cut him?

Watch out, this will draw the ire of the fan police.

If we win the next two games and the Bills drop one to Detroit, the Steelers game probably doesn't even matter.

I'd keep resting Butker as long as possible and maybe bring him back in week 18 for some practice.

I took that as he tried to do fundraising and subsequently failed.

I’d also tell him to jog off the field after every kickoff if he’s playing in meaningless games.

Don’t even think about trying to make a tackle.

god is good

Huge news for a team with Red Zone troubles!

Why?

Congrats on Special Teams Player of the Week, Mr Wright.

Now, go **** yourself.

We won’t forget you Matthew!!!

he good

https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/u...c3he4g8ysw.jpg

You know what, buddy? Go ahead and send him all of your money.

Still gets a Superbowl ring. Not too bad for a few weeks on the team.

It’d be his second with the Chiefs.

I love good news in the morning!:clap:

So is butker back kicking now or will they keep him inactive?

Wonder if araiza can do kickoffs. Might be an interesting contingency for a week or 2.

JReed did just fine.

Really good actually, good depth and hang time...and it gives you an extra defender. I would keep that going even if Harrison is good to go for field goals and XPs.

Wave to waved Wright

Thanks little buddy! You did what we needed you to do. Come back anytime (when butker isn't available)

All the time.

Dynasties need great legs

Might be my new desktop at work.

Dude needs a pantyhose commercial.

All the dirt in all the wounds...

Keep those two on speed dial. Just in case...they're already dipped in positive mojo.

How are we feeling about him as we head to the playoffs?

Not as good as previous years. Not so bad that it should change anything in how we play the games.

This

2 more weeks of rest will hopefully help

Yea. I’m a little nervous about him.
