Patriots Weighing Their Options Before Making Latest Kicker Decision
by Zack Cox on Tue, Dec 3, 2019 at 11:13AM



The Kai Forbath era came to a swift end Monday. As of Tuesday morning, the New England Patriots had yet to name his successor.

With a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs looming on Sunday, Bill Belichick said the Patriots will weigh their options before signing a new kicker.

“We have a few days to work that out, so we’ll look at our options and do what we feel like is best for the team based on what our options are,” Belichick said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters. “I don’t know exactly how that’s going to go, but we’ll see.”

The most likely option would be re-signing Nick Folk, whom the Patriots cut last week after he underwent an emergency appendectomy. Folk fared relatively well during his initial three-game stint with the team, going 7-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra points, and still had a stall in New England’s locker room at the end of last week.

Belichick suggested the Patriots considered having punter/kickoff man Jake Bailey handle field goals this past Sunday against the Houston Texans before ultimately signing Forbath. Bailey kicked in high school, but using him in that role would require the team to introduce a new holder to the field-goal operation.

“Yeah, we’ve looked at a number of different options,” Belichick said. “Last week was last week; this week is this week. Maybe it’ll be the same; maybe it’ll be different. Maybe some of the circumstances around that will change. That situation came up pretty late in the week, so this week, we have a little more time to plan and evaluate the entire situation. We’ll see what our options are and try to make the best one.”

Patriots still don’t have a kicker at practice for Week 14

LMAO

LMAO

LMAO

I think both KC and the NE offenses surprise this week. I expect a shootout like last year's games again.

Hopefully this time one of our safeties makes a play to get us the win this time.

They’ll sign Vinatieri , he’ll kick the the winning FG to beat us, and kick lights out on their way to the Bowl now that he returned home.

Because NFL

Gonna be hard to sign Vinatieri from the Colts IR

Mangini thinks he's Belichick , but he unlike Bill was/is unlucky.

This year, Pats allowed >14 pts twice

lost both.

And we've averaged 32 points per game IN FOXBORO under Reid

So I heard the Patriots have won 18 straight in Foxboro. that must mean their last loss there was the ass whoopin we put on them opening day 2017

Edit : Carolina beat them there week 4 2017. That was their last loss at Foxboro

Patrick Mahomes has only scored under 14 points once.

If that hold the Chiefs should be able to get the win

After watching those clips of our O-line, i get the feels that this will be a low scoring game.

Looks like Pringle is playing the role of Julian Edleman for the scout team...
