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.
Edited for formatting.
Cutting Brandon McManus and then trading for him left a bad taste in my mouth, but right now I’m happy with his play. He cost us the Raiders game, which sucks, but he’s been reliable since then. Buffalo was pretty windy so I don’t blame him for the misses in that game.
