I've asked this many seasons and every time I receive pushback. And yes, after last season I am very happy that we have Lutz back. But it HAS to be annoying to some of yall by this point that Lutz has the potential to be a great kicker but his inconsistencies always rear their ugly head.
Every training camp he looks like he's on the path to being the best kicker in the NFL and then when the bright lights are on, he misses big kicks. He makes big kicks too. I get that. The ATL game is almost very fitting of him. Missed a crucial kick for us but then made THE crucial kick for us.
This isn't a "Cut Lutz" thread. I KNOW that after last year we should be appreciative of Lutz. But the missed kick yesterday was pretty significant. I wish he could play to his potential all the time and I think it's ok to call out that he doesn't.
