There has NEVER in the history of the NFL been a kicker that was 100% and there never will be. Hell, even Morton Anderson was known to shank a few.
IMO, anytime a field goal is attempted, the offense has failed.

Sorry didn't see this question initially.
My heart was in my throat for totally different reasons at that point in the NFCC game that year. I felt good in the Superbowl because I thought we had a Morton reincarnation at that time, he was awesome.
HOWEVER, it all started with the Atlanta miss that cost us so dearly later in the season that planted the seed of doubt that every miss since then has fed making it grow into the enormous tree of doubt it is today.
If he had started splitting the uprights consistently this year, great. But nailing a 55 yarder outside in the cold and then going on a 2/6 streak just screams nutcase. He is more consistent on the road than in his own back yard. In a close game when we have to have three points, I just want a chance that doesn't depend on whether or not he is on his meds. |
