for now i am going to apply the kareem hunt rule when it comes to our new kicker.
botched the first, he will be game money the rest of the way? :-)
i must say it is weird seeing the fans in the screen shots of the new kicker. the old one always was shown with nothing but grass behind him. :-) [Reply]
I know it's just a regular season game, but imagine being so good at your job that the best QB in the league, and maybe ever, is completely fine just handing the game over to you to win. [Reply]

Few years ago in Cincy, Butker missed a long kick when they really needed it. McPherson never misses against the Chiefs. Butker has drilled some really clutch kicks against Cincy in the last few matchups. [Reply]

I remember telling my wife in his 2nd or 3rd year here that I didn't worry about it when he's kicking FGs, even long ones. I think it was the game at LA where he kicked a couple of 50+ (one might have been something like 59 yards) FGs in that game. I had seen enough up to that point to realize that the guy is clutch. Sure, like any kicker, he's gonna miss one occasionally. But most of the time, he makes them. [Reply]

A hell of a find by Veach. Veach was the GM on July 10, 2017 and poached Butker on September 26, 2017 from Carolina's PS.
I remember that. We played Washington on MNF and I my BIL told me we signed a new kicker. I was like wtf because, as I recall, we had an okay kicker at the time. Obviously, Butker turned out to be much better. So props to Veach. [Reply]
