I think kicker on a bad team is just as important as a closer on a bad baseball team. 3 points here and there aren't going to win/lose you games. The Steelers are losing by multiple scores, nothing a kicker can do to help that.
I meant as a collective and a reflection of their circumstance, not the individual players or coaches. K was just about the only bright spot on the team this year and his groin fell out, probably from overuse. It's tough to find anything to root for. I'm not even excited at the idea Watt might be back because he'll just get injured again.
Edit: saw your reply to skullman and now it makes sense
Ehhh....
