Finally somebody likes punters. Except Pack93z. That's why kickers and punters hang out together. We sit at the end of the bench and make lists of all the fans, sportswriters, TV and radio announcers, wide receivers, lineman, QB's, etc., that we're going to put on our hit list when the season is over. LOL.

Lonely job.....I know from experience.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

I still hold my breath every time he punts, but performances like this will go along ways in making me breath easy. Definitely, the unsung hero in todays game.

I don't think there can be any debate about this. Masthay was unquestionably the player of the game. It's impossible to overstate the importance of field position in the NFL, and he set the Bears up with consistently terrible field position.

In some games, field position means close to jack squat (Last year's playoff game for example? Maybe our defense would have been more well-rested if we let them return every other kickoff for a near-TD).

This game however, was a defensive battle. Special teams was just as important as offense in this one.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Ted Thompson brings in punting competition in camp.

They have gone out of their way to let Crosby be the #1 K the past 2 years yet have thrown the P job open as we've not had a #1.

If they think Masthay can be a legitimate starter then maybe they let him have all the offseason reps, build his confidence and use the roster spot on another position.

He did a great job today. It is funny to think how many people wanted the big Aussie Bryan as the punter.

It was a close race until Masthay pulled away at the very end. Bryan signed with Tampa Bay, but was waived after four games.

Thanks for the update on Bryan. I was wondering where he ended up but I didn't have time to check.

I'm really happy to eat humble pie on Masthay. I thought we should cut him after the Redskins game (which I still say he lost for us with his horrible punting). That said, he has played integral roles in our win against the Jets and Bears. I'm not 100% sold on him yet. But a solid performance throughout the playoffs would go a long way towards securing his spot in our long term plans.

You said it!

This is a big game for him this week because DeSean Jackson can burn you much like Devin Hester can. That is a matchup that nobody seems to be talking about yet.
