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]
There are only 5 perfect kicking seasons in NFL history
(Crosby/Forbath/Graham/Myers/Zendejas missed XPs)
A lot of these guys didn't play full seasons so it's pretty clear Butker has a chance to have the third-greatest kicking season ever behind Gary Anderson and Mike Vanderjagt.

We're paying him half a billion dollars, and putting the games on a kicker that should be wearing #2. It's fucking asinine.

Nobody should.
This isn't new.
13 seconds isn't even a thing if he doesn't leave 4 points on the field in a divisional playoff game.

You have one job mother fucker. It's illegal to touch you.
Fuck.

Andy is going to have to understand when it's better to just put the ball in 15s hands, and let the chips fall where they may. Watching this dude kick in big moments this year is giving me serious 90s vibes.

He did actually miss a kick early in LVII lol
I always forget that and am reminded upon rewatch. [Reply]

I wonder though.
What if the Chiefs get the ball back with a few minutes left in the game and a 3 point lead instead of being tied? Do we go too conservative in trying to run out the clock?
If so, maybe the Eagles get the ball back down 3 with 2 minutes left. I wouldn’t have felt too confident in that situation.
69D Chess from Harrison Butker to intentionally miss the first field goal. [Reply]
