As great as we remember Morten Andersen, his career FG percentage with the Saints was 77.6% (302 for 389). At 18 for 25, Blake Grupe's career FG percentage sits at 78.3%, and is over half a percentage point better than Morten's. Just saying.

BTW, Morten's career percentage from 40+ yards was 62.1% (187 for 301). With Grupe's miss from 47 yards yesterday his percentage from 40+ is now 66.7% (8 for 12). Andersen was 40 of 84 from 50+ (47.6%) while Grupe is 4 of 6 for 66.7%.

As fans we have selective memories.
