Worst Kicking I've Ever Seen This Season

Forgot the offensive line play, the kicking is terrible league wide. Every game you see people are missing extra points and field goals left and right. Scobee missed two last Thursday. The Bucanneers kicker missed like crazy. Blair Walsh missed one. Even Adam Vinateri started the season off. And let's not forget the Jaguars kicker who gave the Colts the game.

I'm not sure I've ever seen worse kicking league wide.

Now, don't you go saying anything about my newest favorite player, the kicker on the Jags. Luv that boy!!

I think it's that new rule.

 

What new rule?  For the most part PAT's have been fine.  A few more missed but that's to be expected.

 

But you don't usually see a kicker miss a FG twice in a game in the NFL.  And multiple kickers have done that this year and cost their teams games.

Could it possibly be length of kicks? I don't have any stats to back this up, but Vinatieri started off the year with a crazy long kick, in the cold rain in Buffalo.. The Jaguars kicker missed two straight 50 plus yard field goals to win the game.. I mean those were tough kicks, let alone pressure kicks for a young kicker... Maybe teams are just trusting their kickers to make the longer field goals instead of a short punt? I'm not sure.

I thought it was a new rule where the field goal after the TD is like 10 or 15 yards further back or something. Idk I could be wrong.

The goal post uprights are narrowed this year.  A lot of kickers were upset with it during the offseason, including our own AV

Yeah that's called a PAT (Point after Try).

A FG without a TD is a FG and worth 3 points.

Just a skim reader in this thread, but couldn't pass on this one.

Some of the funniest moments happen when another person incorrectly attempts to correct someone. LOL

Thanks. I needed that.

Half of the time it's like watching the blind lead the blind on this board. It's entertaining when a cocky blind person begins leading.

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.
