If my math is right in all these close games a field goal would have given us a win he’s missed! Instead of firing the head coach maybe we start looking for a kicker or at least address this. I’m not counting the block in the Philly game but the 48 yarder. He used to be pretty automatic and it’s slipping lately.
his current FG% is 78.3, which is pretty bad and well below his career average. not great. in his defense, it looks like he is on pace to attempt more 40+ yarders than he ever has in a single season (he has ALREADY matched his career high in attempts over 50 yards, with 5 games left in the season. moreover; he has more attempts of 40+ than <40). he is 10 of 11 <40, 8 of 12 >40. it looks like the issue more what he is being asked to do than his general accuracy. longer kicks = lower success rate. certainly a couple of those misses could have changed the outcome of a couple games (the block in the philly game, his only miss under 40 yards this season, for one) but, and correct me if i’m wrong, none of these were ‘game winning’ attempts. do we want better, of course. i would prefer our offense not stall at the opponents 35. Joe Brady, hopefully, has put an end to that BS!
