If you scored points for hitting the uprights, Connor Barth would have been All-World yesterday. He did it to perfection.

To hit two crossbars in one game takes a large amount of skill. They should put him on sports science like Drew.

With all due respect. We are the Super Bowl Champions. We will not remain that way if we set our "bar" at the level of Tampa's.

Also:

Beat Vikings by 5
Beat SF by 3
Lost to Atlanta by 3
Beat Carolina by 2
We have only had two games with larger than a 6 point gap. If 2 of those games went 3 points the other way we are 2-4. Or Make the Atlanta field goals and we are 5-1.

Our Kicking is EVERYTHING to focus on at the moment! We should worry ALOT about field goals.

Make those Atlants field goals and we are 5-1 tied with the Jets for the NFL lead! Also we are starting the division sweep!

Yeah but he's our kicker.

The kick he missed looked like a low snap and a off placement by the holder. Just something that I noticed. When I was walking off the field it looked like Hartley and Chase were having words. Brunell was holder last year so I don't know if that ha anything to do with it.

Hartley is 56% this year. So pretty much he misses 1 of every 2 kicks...LOL! Sure he kicked us into a Super Bowl but what have you done for me lately?

Everytime we miss a field goal (man that sounds horrible) it seems as though hartley is constantly looking at where the holder has spotted it, i don't know if its a problem with the holder, but to me he looks like hes always trying to blame someone else. If he preferred brunells holding so much, bring brunell back as a holder for like $1000 a snap lol

I agree! The snap and hold always seem fine. Hartley just hooks it. And then tries to blame Daniel. Cut him! Sign Graham or Brown
