One of the few concerns to come from the Patriots 5-1 start so far this season is the inconsistent kicking of Stephen Gostkowski. Following on from his missed extra point in the AFC Championship, he has missed kicks in four of the six games so far this season. Against Miami, Buffalo and Cleveland he missed a field goal attempt in each of those games and this weekend he missed an extra point against Cincinnati. Having been one of the most reliable kickers for his entire career, save for 2010 when he missed half a season due to injury, the question becomes what should the Patriots do with their struggling kicker?
