This about sums up the way I feel.

Yeah Gano is pretty much the younger version of Cundiff when you look at their numbers.

Ha...that answers my question...lol!

Neither Gano nor Cundiff has ever been a stud kicker...at least for a few seasons Rackers was a top-flight kicker. I mean this all played out...oddly.

Just when I think I'm starting to have some faith in the Redskins FO they do something really stupid. Did they watch the Ravens Pats game last Jan? That was a massive choke job. You simly MUST make that kick. I'd take Rackers over Cundiff.

6. The best kicking leg in the league: whacked. You can look it up. Over the past two years, Billy Cundiff is a 90 percent field goal kicker inside the 50 (53 of 59), and no other kicker averaged more yards per kickoff (69.5) or had more touchbacks than his 84. But the Ravens, bugged more by his 1-of-7 from 50-plus in the last two seasons than his crucial miss in the AFC title game last January, cut him Sunday. They prefer to save $1.5 million on the cap and go with a four-year kickoff man from the University of Texas, Justin Tucker. Risky move for a Super Bowl contender.

ohhh so the 1-7 passed the 50 jacks his percentage up. Well automatic inside the 50 is comforting.

Please enlighten us how?

Their old defense has gotten a year older and has lost their best playmaker for at least the majority of the regular season.

They have a difficult schedule.

And well their offense is still their offense. Good but not great.

I don't see it but everyone has their opinion.

Well I picked the Patriots last year and I didn't feel like picking them again, and I just don't see anyone else that really blows me away...but anyway, this is not the thread for that

They're certainly in the conversation in the AFC at the very least.
