Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

So glad Payton saw something in him! Great game. Offensive line looked better than I expected. Great game.

I have been having the best time reading the falcon's message board after this amazing win. Lutz & Brees were clutch!

It's great to have a reliable kicker after all the years of frustrations going through guys like Carney, Hartley, Forbath, etc.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

He could easily be the difference between 11-3 and 9-7.




I like this part of the Falcons Board better....

I feel like he just came out of nowhere. We were trying out a few kickers then suddenly Payton announced we signed him and in the same presser said he would be our kicker for years to come. I don’t think his name was even mentioned and then out of thin air he was here with a huge endorsement from Payton. Am I right?

Julio is no Hopkins or AB. He's an old man who has lost a couple steps. Ridley shored him up this week. Should have never paid him. Big mistake on them.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

Lutz sure showed he is worth the big extension he got. What a kick to win it!

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

BIG WIN! Kamara & Brees & Thomas getting it done with major input from everyone. Huge CLUTCH kick by Lutz! (I gotta say though - am still not an Eli Apple fan - he misses too many tackles). GEAUX SAINTS

I have to say the Failclowns board is one of the bright spots of my year.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

John Harbaugh recommended him to Payton.

You are the MAN!

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

I almost forgot about the coffin kick. Morstead put a big grin on my face with that one. Just nasty.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

Harbaugh already had a kicker but brought him in for competition. When we played and practiced with them in preseason Harbaugh told Payton he should sign him.iirc He was basically a gift!

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

I think you're right.

When I re-watched most of the games from last year, it stuck out to me how automatic he was.

We usually would miss field goals and it would make games tighter when we should've been blowing teams out years ago. With Lutz, that has changed.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

Oh the funny part of this is that it wasn't Payton who say saw something in him it was none other than Ravens Coach John Harbough.

There is a story - lets call it legend now.

Saints were practice or Pre-season game and vs each other and Payton mention his kicker troubles and Harbough told Sean that I have 2 kickers... I am going to have to cut one don't know which yet but you should get him once we cut him.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

I don’t know if anybody has posted this in one of the other threads... But this is great...

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

Look how pumped our guys are after that win. They act like they just won a playoff game. Never seen such a celebration on game one. These guys are a team and in it to win it.

Wil Lutz on why his name has only one L...

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

Ya know Sub, there are a few level headed Fans on that board. A few
of those posts were pretty accurate. But ones things for sure the majority
can't stand the Saints.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

The feeling is quite mutual.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

I went there and try to read som posts. I now have cancer in my eyes.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

Very fortuitous.

Re: Big Nutz Lutz!!!!
 

I called this several years ago, after seeing him live vs. Raiders.
(game where cooks made 90 yd TD)

Best K we've had since Morten.
