He's Gone

So, after a rough start to the season, it is official, Jeff Reed is no longer the kicker for the Steelers.  He has had a rocky start and never got out of the whole that he dug himself.  He has missed extra points that could have made all of the difference this season.  Normally, he will show improvement, but for this season that is not the case unfortunately.  After nine years, battling the winds at Heinz Field, and having a strong showing at the Super Bowls for the Steelers; his luck has run out.  I am not so sure that I completely agree with this decision just based on the fact that we all make mistakes and have our rough times.  If we were turned away each time we did, most people would lead miserable lives.  I just cannot see how to be a few games off of nine years makes complete sense.
