SpinalTapp Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I am playing a guy that has Vick going on Monday Night. His team is stacked. I am the underdog and need points. My kicker is J.Reed who plays the Bears at home in bad weather. Todd Peterson is available from the Falcons and is playing with Vick on Monday night in the Georgia dome. I am considering playing peterson because (1) he is playing in a dome and (2) if Vick scores, so will Peterson - it helps cut back on Vick's production. Thoughts?

pzarvell Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Always tough picking K's but it's possible that the Bears won't let the Steelers cross the 50. I'd grab Peterson just simply because he will have more opportunities to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 I feel like an a$$ for bumping a kicker question twice...but I really think my matchup may come down to this...any other advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolman Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Always smarter to go with a kicker in a dome no weather to worry about thanks for responding to my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splotchman Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Spinaltapp - I would definitely play Peterson over Jeff Reed. Agree that Peterson should have chances to score, plus do don't have the weather factor. Peterson has also been on a bit of a hot streak recently. Nevertheless, it's always tough predicting kickers, but I'd probably go Peterson. Please see mine on Gado vs. J.Jones. THanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark5 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Dome kicker has the edge. Im starting Wilkins over Graham just becasue of the dome thing PLUS its always nice to have a kicker on MNF.. Just to make you and ur opponent watch ONE MORE GAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlofjelly Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I agree,kickers are a lady dog to play.Peterson's got the controlled climate and more points will undoubtedly come from the Atlanta game.Check the weather in Pitt,if its snowing,very cold and the wind is whipping around I feel your decision is made.I believe Petersen's kicking stats have gotten better as the season has progressed,if you feel he's good for at least 2 FG's and a sound # of PAT's I'd role with him.Hope this was of some help and thanks for hitting my post,Jelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumerOneEaglesFan Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 peterson 4 sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddfish2 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'd play Peterson in your position. I'm in a similar position, only I'm considering between Josh Brown (could be all XP's in SF) and my opponent has Stallworth on MNF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
