I've watched virtually every one of his kicks over the years, and my new opinion is that, when they hurry him, when they snap the ball without giving him that extra 2-3 seconds to compose himself, when Hartley is rushed -- THAT'S when he misses or has the kicks that go wobbly and wonky, end over end.

That one that he missed yesterday, I turned away for a moment to grab something to eat or take a sip of my drink, and when my eyes came back to the screen, the ball was already snapped...they rushed the unit out there to snap it...when you give Hartley a time out or a penalty or give him the full 40 seconds, a long snap count, he usually nails it. Some of this is on the coaches, probably Payton and McMahon, who are always kinda impatient and OCD.

He is an emo kid, head case kicker, nut job, absolutely, with attention deficit disorder, it's been proven....and when you don't give him a lot of time to be still, to settle into it and compose himself, I've become convinced that's when his performance suffers. He has problems to be sure, but his numbers are too good to declare him a complete bum... Just my take on it.

What exactly was wrong with Kasay?!?

Why keep Hartly when we can have Jon kasey?

Call da man!

He missed makeable kicks against the Packers and Chiefs that has cost us games this year.

Find somebody better. Then cut him.

He won for us yesterday.

Then again, if he could have made the 36 yarder it would have never went into OT...

Today on YouTube: Norwegian Havard Rugland earns NFL trial with New York Jets after posting spectacular kicking video.

It's not got the glamour of quarterback, but there is no position Norweigan hopeful Havard Rugland wants to play more in American football than kicker.

By Telegraph Sport 24 Dec 2012 2:43PM GMT

To demonstrate his considerable talents, Rugland made a video compilling his spectacular football-kicking trick shots which show him nailing everything from 60-yard field goals to wildly useless scissor kicks.

It has been enough to earn the 27-year-old a trial with the New York Jets.

"On this trip things have evolved rapidly, from just training alone to training to try out for a team. From where I am now, playing in the NFL is a long way to go, but my goal is to get a contract before the preparations begin for next season," Rugland said.
