The seachickens don’t deserve to be in the tourney still. Had Griffin been the leader he should have been then the seachickens don’t score and the Skins win by 45.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if pigs could fly…Unfortunate events happen to every team. That’s the way it is. That’s what happens in the NFL. Good teams find a way to win. Period.

If you need a kicker, John Kasay is the man…just dont ask him to do kickoffs

One of the 49ers bad decisions was letting longwell go so many years back. Cap-hell casualty. I bet he’d relish another chance to remind the franchise even though he had quite a career after leaving SF

Only a safeguard move. Ryan may not make be active for the game but nice that he is available in case he is needed. Time will tell.

The Vikings cut him because he didn’t kick long well.

Hauschka should sue the Redskins.

They may not carry two placekickers – there’s plenty of time to make a roster move this week. Maybe they feel Hauschka can come back during the playoffs. And Hauschka made two field goals after the injury so perhaps he’ll split duty with Longwell.

Uh, they don’t need to make a roster move if Chris Clemmons is already on IR. Hauschka (bless you) will probably only miss one week if that. If he kicks well on Friday Longwell might not even make the trip.

Obviously not too worried about DE depth.

Ryan Longwell is an accurate kicker, and you can count on him for that. The problem is, he doesn’t have the strongest boot. If he gets enough power into a kick he will make those 50-55 yard kicks. Touchbacks are probably his weakest area, seldom will you see a touchback with Ryan Longwell.

Good for Longwell. Gets another shot at the SuperBowl! A class act. I really liked him as a Viking. His range is definitely limited now, but if Seattle needs a 30-40 yarder and Hauschka aint up to it, I’d rather have him than the punter!

Thanks threedeep for sharing that. I was wondering why my Niners didn’t reach out to that guy once David Akers came up sorta MIA.

Cowboys carried two kickers before it was cool. They are ahead of their time.

Love longwell but he’s not a long distance guy and cannot get touchbacks even from the 35
