Game on the line and he misses a chip shot

It's Garrett Hartley all over again.

Dustin Hopkins hasn't missed yet for Washington.
Miss the days of Morten was always one of the few
things we could always count on.

oh man... I forgot what a luxury
it was to have Morten. It wasnt just the long distance moonshots. He never
jacked a chip shot. He thrived under pressure.

I grew up with the Oilers, and so Toni Frisch was also automatic. Especially in
the 4th Quarter.

No wonder I have no patience with choky kickers.

Skymike since you are old school, you probably remember the likes of Tony Franklin, Eddie Murray etc from the 80's. Only a handful of guys in today's NFL are what I would call money (Vinitieri, Bryant).

They seem to be harder & harder to come by these days.

Hocker's young and at least to me the snap didn't look very good, might have led to the miss. I think we need to stick with Hocker, there are a few other NFL kickers that are all over the place and can barely make their extra points like Blair Walsh. Hocker as a whole looks a lot better than that at least.

Oh man I'm laughing my ass off! At both the comments about the beer gut and Teddy's irrationality.

Mike Lansford, the Rams kicker who kept the Bum Phillips, Kenny Stabler Saints out of the playoffs mentioned something about "Picking out the biggest drunk in the stands and kicking at him"
