Curious as to what the sentiment around Will Lutz is from a broader Broncos fan base. It seems like every week in my Game Day group chat with my buddies someone always brings up wanting to get rid of Lutz. On Thanksgiving my brother even brought it up. We are all Broncos fans and watch the games. Sure we aren’t NFL coaches but we have a good understanding of the game. I think Lutz is doing fine, but apparently I’m the only one within my group.

Just for some perspective:

Lutz is 24/26 92.3% on FGs

Tied for 4h in FG attempts

9th in FG make percentage (min 5 attempts)

In my opinion the 2 misses he has are excusable. The raiders miss, he was still fairly new to the team. I chalk that up to a chemistry issue with the holder. The miss against the chiefs was a block, which to me is the line’s fault.

    Chemistry issue with the holder?

    He’s a pro kicker dude. The raiders loss was due to a missed kick.

    IF we make the playoffs, I hope we don’t have to revisit this conversation for a reason which I will not name 🫡
