And NFL kickers miss 29 yarders. There isn't a kicker in the league that couldn't have missed that kick. That crap happens. Any number of things in that game had just as much impact on the outcome. To fixate on that one detail is overly paranoid.

Especially with your number 1 rival in the same division. No excuse for that, he should have been cut.

Well, maybe one day you can apply your brilliance whenever you become general manager of an NFL team. I'm quite sure you'll get there one day. Then you can fire all the kickers you want, because I know you have a pipeline to bevy of Morten Andersens.

Yet it fairly commonly happens.

Show me one kicker who is money 100%?

I'm not sure I'd call 1 out of every 20 attempts common.

I said fairly commonly. Missed kicks happen. Even the best of kickers miss ones they should make. You don't throw the baby out with the bath water because of one missed kick. There's not another kicker on the open market with his accuracy at a distance.
