Steelers sign a new kicker

[Slapstick]

What's the worst that could happen? He misses 2 FGs and we lose a game?

Saw it twice...

[pittpete]

OMG i cant believe this...WTF is wrong with this team?
This guy stinks, worst signing ever...Steelers are cheap and..
Oh wait he never played an NFL game so we dont know what or how he'll perform

The fact that a team with so many offensive weapons is blaming losses on a kicker is a little disturbing. Let's hope they don't rely on this rookie to win too many.

Looks like we might be taking a kicker with the first pick in the draft next year!

"And with the first pick in the 2016 NFL Draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select, Clarence the mule, from Farmville, USA"

We, the fans, are blaming the losses on the kicker (and rightly so). The Steelers have simply acknowledged that their (former) kicker isn't doing his job.

A few homers who think the coaching staff is perfect and untouchable are blaming the kicker. Most reasonable analysis I've heard and read blame this loss on the coaches.

If everything is about execution, just script the plays and let the coaches stay home.

I'm not blaming the kicker because the coaches are untouchable. I'm blaming the kicker because he has two jobs to do. One of those is to make field goals. If he had made either of those, the Steelers probably win the game. Period.

12 missed FGs so far this week with several games underway, two more to come. Looks like a lot of kickers will be unemployed tomorrow.

Looks like the Jags maybe should have kept Scobee (I'm sure we all wish that were true). There seems to be a lot of kicking crimes being perpetrated across the league this year. Wow.

Yeah, let's see how many other coaches scapegoat their placekicker.

BTW, what's the over/under on misses before Tomlin cuts Boswell?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lovie Smith cut their rookie kicker this week. They ironically might then sign Scobee.

Newsflash: every drafted kicker has never played in an NFL game until the season starts.

Let's see how this guy turns out. Can't be any worse.

Are you sure you want to take this stance?

It isn't scapegoating when a guy missed 4 FGs and an XP...

We should still egg Scobee's house before he skips town.
