Better kickers available?

Well, Tony Dungy just said he'd cut Suisham. That's good enough for me.

suisham should have been cut last season but instead the redskins just blamed all of his missed kicks on the holder.

Isn't there a Zendejas out there that can kick?

He has missed highschool distance field goals to win games, No question he has to go.

The Redskins defense gave up ten points after Suisham missed that kick. I really can't diss the guy because he has beeen a reliable kicker the majority of the season. He won the Rams game by himself, and was instrumental in winning the Bucks game. I doubt there are any better kickers walking the street at this point in the season. Suisham was not the reason we lost today, blame for this loss spreads throughout the team.

What game were you watching??? When a game can be iced with any FG inside of 40 yards, your kicker MUST come through. Inside 25 yards? A clinching kick can NEVER be missed in that situation. If you can tolerate that, then you should just be satisfied with rooting for a losing team.

The way the game concluded I'm not so sure it would have been iced had Suisham made the kick.

Hey, no one is absolving Suisham of blame for missing the kick, he should have made it but he didn't, and I'll say it again, he wasn'l the reason we lost. Any by the way I was watching what you watched from less than a hundred feet away.

John Hall single handily won the Chicago game back in '05 too. The thing is, THAT'S THEIR JOB! If you can't hit it from 23 yards something is seriously off... my high school QB kicked a 42 yarder with no time left on the clock to win the game, he is way more clutch than Suisham. I mean Nick Novak beat Dallas on a clutch 49 yarder with no time left. Seriously, Nick Novak of all people. Jason Elam was cut after his numerous misses in ATL, I don't see why it should be any different here (although we do tend to covet turds [see Mark Brunell, Taylor Jacobs, John Hall, Derrick Frost, Tom Tupa.... it goes on]). I mean we're 3-9, why not start looking for someone for next year?? I'd give Novak another shot for what it's worth.

Was that Susisham who missed the big pressure kick against Seattle in the playoffs? The one after we recovered our own kickoff? His leg is jell-o. cut him.

CORRECTION: The refs gave the Saints 10 points.

Still, NO EXCUSE for Suisham, he should have put us up by 10 with a minute left. Cut the bum, he's cost us more than 1 game this season. (Dallas loss also)

Hey Longtimefan, he also cost us the Dallas game by missing 2 FG's. Suisham has cost us in the past and now again, I think it's time for a change. They should go look for a college kicker in the draft or FA. These team hasn't had a reliable kicker since Chip Llomiller.

John Hall was a very good kicker before his chronic leg injuries.

He was no better than Suisham, he missed a lot of big FG's too.
