METAIRIE, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Saints placed kicker Martin
Gramatica on injured reserve and re-signed sixth-round draft pick
Taylor Mehlhaff.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis confirmed the moves
Wednesday.
Gramatica, who had been kicking with a sore groin, has missed
four field goals in the past three games. All of the misses, one of
which was blocked and returned for a touchdown by Minnesota on
Monday night, proved critical in close losses to Denver and the
Vikings.
Gramatica, signed by the Saints late last season, beat out
Mehlhaff in training camp and was 8-of-8 on field goals before the
Saints’ 34-32 loss at Denver in Week 3, when the first two of
Gramatica’s four recent misses took place.
Mehlhaff, a rookie from of Wisconsin, has yet to attempt a
regular season kick in the NFL.
During the preseason, Mehlhaff made two of his three field goal
attempts and all four of his point-after attempts.
I don’t care what excuse they use as long as he is out of there. If you can’t make the kicks, you should not be in the NFL.

That seems to be the protocall when the Saints loose. Now the Kicker was injured. Suppose that’s the reason they lost again.
