Punters make the best athletes

It's irrefutable.

NFC Championship

Seattle punter John Ryan just threw a beautiful TD pass, he's 3 for 3 all-time passing, just proving that QB is an overrated position. He's also outplaying so-called superstar QB Russell Wilson, who has zero TDs and 3 INTs.

Steelers - Bungles live punt blog

Happening right now...

First Qtr

15:00 - Expect a lot of punts out of this match-up between two mediocre teams and their mentally-challenged coaching staffs. On the other hand, maybe the Bungles punter will have a light work day because the Steelers defense couldn't stop my grandmother.

12:00 - Steelers strike first with a 4th & 5 from their own 37... Rookie Brad Wing to the dangerous Pac-Man Jones standing back at the CIN 18. Apparently Jones does not like to make fair catches, which is bad for the Steelers horrible punt coverage team... Jones catches at the 25 in traffic but returns straight through the shitty Pittsburgh coverage to the 42. Puntguy rating: 34

9:38 - Second drive, second punt. Just like I predicted. Bungles in 4th & 2 from the PIT 40... Antonio Brown waiting for the kick at the PIT 10... direct snap FAKE!! The moron fumbled the ball short of the first down marker and even though the Bungles recovered it's still Pittsburgh ball. Pittsburgh's unprepared defense saved by a weird NFL rule and the Bungles bungling yet another simple play. Stupid playcall by Marvin Dumb-ass Lewis. It's as good as a fucking horrible punt so we'll count it. Puntguy rating: 0

8:34 - Jesus Christ I'm already getting finger fatigue from these idiots. Three for three. 4th & 9 from the PIT 41 after a spectacular 1-yard drive that lasted all of 60 seconds... Brad Wing kicks to Brandon Tate, he catches at the CIN 12 and returns to the 20. Good punt, ok coverage. Puntguy rating: 67

7:10 - Four for four. This is spectacular. Bungles in 4th & 1 from their 29... Brown waiting at the PIT 22 for the Kevin Huber kick... A back-pedaling Brown catches at the 12 and returns it to the 20. Puntguy rating: 73

3:28 - Five for five, this is fabulous! Brandon Tate waiting at the 8 for Wing's kick... 4th & 9 for the Steelers from their 49... Nice punt angled toward the far sideline, lands at the 25 and rolls ten yards further OOB at the CIN 15. Puntguy rating: 72

1:15 - Six for six. Bungles in 4th & 5 from their own 31.... Brown waiting down at the PIT 19... Sixth-year punter Huber kicks it down to the PIT 25 for a fair catch. Puntguy rating: 63

0:00 - This is my kind of game... I'm pretty sure we've had twice as many punts as first downs so far! Zero third down conversions.

Second Qtr


11:17 - Pittsburgh scores after a nice drive (including a third down conversion) to break the punting streak.

9:06 - Dick Lebeau's vaunted defense finally showed up resulting in an easy TD drive for the Bungles.

7:54 - After a short rest, Brad Wing takes the field again for a Pittsburgh 4th & 4 from their 26... Pac-man misses the catch at the CIN 20 and it takes a wicked bounce down to the 10, 4, 1 and then dribbles in for a touchback just as the return team arrives. Oh so close to a perfect punt! Puntguy rating: 73

Halftime

PUNTER            PUNTS     AVG   IN20   TB  PUNTGUY   PG-AVG
Brad Wing (PIT)       4    48.3      1    1      246     61.5
Kevin Huber (CIN)     2    50.2      0    0      136     68.0

Third Qtr

11:22 - Bungles start off the second half procession... 4th & 13, Huber kicking from his own 39... Too much traffic to field the kick which lands in the middle of a crowd at the PIT 30 and rolls back to the 20. Puntguy rating: 68

4:09 - Bungles in a 4th & 3 from their own 27, punting again... Brown waiting at the PIT 30... Huber's kick caught by Brown at the 30, runs forward a couple yards to the 33, then like a complete fool runs backwards and gets tackled at the 28, but the refs give it to him at the 31 due to forward progress I guess. Puntguy rating: 58

1:39 - Brad Wing makes his second half debut with a Pittsburgh 4th & 5 at midfield... Delay of game penalty drops it back to the PIT 45... Fielded by Tate at the CIN 11, returned to the 18. A little disappointing. Puntguy rating: 67

Fourth Qtr

15:00 - Hey fantasy footballers: I'm glad I started AJ Green today.

14:37 - Hey fantasy footballers: I'm glad I started Le'Veon Bell today.

8:52 - Huber makes his third second half appearance with the Bungles facing a 4th & 9 from their 42... Shitty camerawork on this one but it's a fantastic punt that could turn the game around for the Bungles... lands inside the ten and bounces OOB at the 6. Puntguy rating: 91



8:31 - Hey fantasy footballers: I'm glad I started Martavis Bryant today.

8:07 - Bungles forced into another punt facing 4th & 13 at their own 24... More horrible camerawork but this one looks like he just shanked it sideways, OOB at midfield for a net 26 yard punt. Terrible. Puntguy rating: 35

3:50 - Garbage time punt for Huber with a 4th & 7 from the CIN 26... Fielded by Brown at the PIT 15 and returned to a pile-up at the 21. Puntguy rating: 73

2:25 - Coach Tomlin just yelled at Brad Wing who was apparently not paying attention since he's had so little to do this half: "Hey Wing! Hey Wing! Get this ball out!"


2:00 - Brad Wing makes his garbage time appearance. 4th & 2 from the PIT 29... Fielded at the 23, returned to the 39. Puntguy rating: 46

Fulltime

PUNTER            PUNTS     AVG   IN20   TB  PUNTGUY   PG-AVG
Brad Wing (PIT)       6    47.5      2    1      359     59.8
Kevin Huber (CIN)     7    46.0      1    0      461     65.9

Alabama punter saves the day

A freshman punter saved the season for the top ranked Crimson Tide of Alabama earlier this evening. Very impressive work.
