Not only did Grupe shine, Lutz missed his first Bronco XP.

Re: Kicker
 

And all of Grupes kicks were nice, controlled, up and straight down the middle.

Even when Lutz makes a kick, it zig zags all over the place

Re: Kicker
 

And we got a 7th rounder for him. Isn't that beautiful ?

Re: Kicker
 

And he missed a field goal

Re: Kicker
 

I never liked Lutz. He had one good year and got lucky on a few long ones but he was inconsistent. Not a lot of pressure when the coach throws you out there to make a kick everyone expects you to miss.

Re: Kicker
 

And his team took an L.

Re: Kicker
 

And now the Broncos lose by 1 after Lutz misses an XP and a field goal. Glad to get that pick.

Re: Kicker
 

By 1 point no less.

Re: Kicker
 

Had we traded Grupe to Denver and kept Lutz, Payton would have won 20-17 with the made XP and made 50+ FG and we would have lost 15-12 with the missed XP and missed 50+ FG.

I called this. I forget who it was but someone on this site said how dumb I was for thinking a rookie was better than lutz.
