He was the best kicker in 2024 so that was after his Bronco days. The post season in 2025 was his undoing. Personally I would have gone Prater, but the Rams went younger & someone who is superior in kickoff placement.
People already laughing at our team and this isn't helping. Fuckin painful times right now. Not the worst, but still not good.
He went 3-5 from over 50 yards and 3-7 between 40-49 yards according to ESPN stats......50% beyond 40 yards is dog shit....we signed an older yet skinnier Mevis.
Matt Prater is 42. While he has been better in recent years, it's an open question what sort of juice he has left. End of the day, McManus is a NFL-caliber Kicker. Hopefully, he's gotten his head right and plays well for us.
Yeah they are, but those people should worry about their teams. I didn’t like all the press in the summer and was worried somethings would go awry.

Hopefully, with all the bad press, they'll start playing angry and with a chip on their shoulders. We deserve better than the lifeless team that showed up against Arizona.
Nah I wanna know why he got fired last year though so I am focused on that but apparently skimping on reading your whole post hahaha
Cool. The year before, he hit 95% of his FGs. Kickers are weird. They're up and down. A guy who has played 12 years in the NFL and has made 297 FGs is a NFL-caliber Kicker.
All I hear is excuses for someone that struggled overall in his last year. Green Bay wouldn't have cut his ass and went with a rookie if it was a one off game.....well at least I don't think soDuring the Packers' 31–27 NFC Wild Card loss to the Chicago Bears at a windy Soldier Field on January 10, 2026, kicker Brandon McManus missed three total kicks that left 7 points on the board:
The Weather Conditions:
- 55-Yard Field Goal: Missed as time expired in the 2nd quarter.
- Extra Point (PAT): Missed with 6:36 left in the 4th quarter.
- 44-Yard Field Goal: Missed with 2:56 left in the 4th quarter.
Kicking conditions were severely impacted by sustained winds of 11.4 mph and powerful gusts peaking up to 34.9 mph blowing from the west-northwest.
Brandon McManus discloses emotions after 2 missed FG's and PAT attempt in Wild Card loss to Bears
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus provides his thoughts on how he feels after missing 2 field goal attempts and one extra point try during his team's matchup against the Chicago Bears during Wild Card Weekend.
Sorry, he just isn't if his last year was that bad. There's a reason we were his only tryout since he got cut. Trusting this team signing kickers is like trusting a blind person to drive apparently. I'm laughing but it kinda hurts.
