Cut him, get the Canada kid back and ride it out. Forbath is a journeyman for a reason.

Cut the 30 year old who's not good for the 30 year old who's never been good enough to kick in the NFL? Yeah that works :D

Well one thing's for sure... This team isn't good enough to overcome a poor kicker. Not sure if that was a poor exchange or whatever there but I'm interested to hear the Rams' take on it.

I wasn't happy with Sloman and I'm not happy with Forbath either. Hopefully Forbath rebounds from this because he also had a shitty kickoff.

Boy you just can't move on from your Sloman white-knighting session can you. :ROFLMAO:

At least now we don't have folks defending a crappy fucking kicker.

Has nothing to do with him, has everything to do with pointing out Forbath wasn't the answer, he's a veteran version of Sloman that's not an upgrade it's a side grade.

Screw it. Cut him and we’ll just go for it on fourth down and for 2 after a TD. Hekker can try his best on kick offs.

Well they can’t cut Forbath anyways. I think he has to be on the roster 3 weeks.
not trying the 53 yarder was basically a missed FG
McGinnis will probably be the kicker shortly

A high school cheer leader could kick it better than the FG he tried today. It was a pitiful attempt.

Actually he was on the roster in week 7, will be this week and also in week 9 the bye, I'm quite sure they can cut him after week 9.

Well my son being a viking fan i had my fill on watching forbath.We would make bets on how bad he would miss a fg or not make it to the end zone on kickoffs.When I heard we signed him I about shit myself then my phone blows up with my son laughing his ass off.Yesterday was the forbath I knew and dreaded mostly at the end of the game which could of helped us inch closer.Fellas what the hell we gonna do about the kicking this year?Where so fu@ked this year.

All we can do is hope they get him or whoever they replace him with kicking at a solid level man. It's a shitty feeling. And I still wonder whether that was a botched hold or something, did McVay address that at all?

the hold was perfect. his foot may have hit the ground before the ball.

Meanwhile, GZ made a 59 yarder into the wind....letting him and bones walk will go down as one of McVays dumbest moves.

he's not psychic. all he saw last year was gz missing pretty easy fgs which led to rams losses. that's what he had to go on.

we went through all this kicker stuff last year. the mob wanted to run gz out of town. now he's gone they want him back.
