Regardless of the kicker, regime, coordinators, this franchise loves to punt from the opponents 40. Like I get that we haven’t had incredible kickers, but I know they have the physical capability to make a 55-58 yarder. Heck, in 2021 Fairbairn made a 61 yarder! Yet year after year we punt from the 38+ and again lost today in part to punting twice instead of attempting 56 and 57 yard field goals.

Odds from 55+ are terrible. If you trust your defense it’s usually the way to go.
I’d argue we’d have been in a better position even if we tried the field goal and missed because then at least we’d probably get one more chance on offense. Less field less time taken off the clock by Carolina
