pat mcafee's ridiculous field goals

We should have just cut Adam to save the cap space and made Pat our kicker and punter. :)

In all seriousness though, I wonder how many double-takes Pat had to do to pull off these kicks. We've seen trick shot videos, so this isn't unusual if you take it in regards to kicks.

pfffft...I can do that

on Madden I just turn the FG slider way up

At first, I was like "Yeah, this dude probably just filmed himself playing Madden and has McAfee hitting 100 yard field goals"

Those are impressive though, but you can do way better in practice than you can in a game. Especially when there isn't the commotion of fans and the other players

I watched a high school kid nail a 65 yard field goal in practice, in pads, first try. The kid was also a linebacker, not a trained kicker. While it's definitely very impressive, he's in shorts and a t-shirt with no pressure.

Carson Wiggs from Purdue hit a 67 yard field goal during Purdue's spring game. Full pads and live action. They are supposedly going to let him try to break the NCAA record for longest field goal this year. He routinely makes 75+ yard field goals during warm-up.

Since he both kicked and punted at West Virginia, it is not like he doesn't have experience kicking. Yes those 75 yard field goals are unrealistic in a game situation....but with Adam's range being not what it was 10 or even 5 years ago....why not use Pat for long field goals? With the new kickoff rules he wont have to work as hard for touchbacks...its worth a shot if its a 50+ yarder as time expires to win the game and avoid OT

I'm still annoyed at him for not signing my McAfee jersey at the Chargers game last year after he said on twitter he would come over. Never trust a punter! :D I flew all the way from England to get that shirt signed (and to see the Colts for the first time - mainly this reason).

what are u doing flying all the way to San Diego from England. Should have waited for a game on the east coast.

    • I hope this works out for him and his wife. 
    • You don’t have to convince me Roseman is good at his job.   I literally said so in the post you felt necessary to respond to.    He’s very good at his job.   But he makes mistakes too as all GMs do.   That’s something that many here don’t understand.   
    • Hopkins is a million times better team player than AB. OBJ just got drafted by a bad team with a fading QB, and has been great apart from the recent injury and time-off. My point is, Hopkins has not shown any signs of being slowed down yet.
    • Agholor was hand picked by Chip Kelly, Roseman was not having control over that draft, IIRC.   Yeah, everyone will have misses. What separates Roseman from all other GMs and puts him in rarefied air is he doesn't restrict himself from getting high priced free agents to build a strong contending team even with unstable QB position, while being willing to Max out all the cap space he could. Hurts was not a proven quality QB last off-season, but their GM still had every other position fortified with quality starters and depth. He replenishes  RB room for cheap and with quality depth, and spends money on impact positions while drafting trenches 8 out of 10 times in the first round and mostly drafting there well. He fleeces other GMs very well on offloading contracts and getting great free agents at right time from right team. So many moves just don't work out by luck year after year. He's a very good grip on where to spend money and how to keep the roster a championship contender even with unanswered questions at QB position for last decade.    He does so much so well that his misses are negligible in the larger picture. He missed on Jefferson, but he got AJ and Smith, and now they're not going to lose sleep over that miss.
    • Eh maybe, look at AB and OBJ…
