After watching these last few years only an idiot would be upset that Ballard spent money to fix the kicking issue.

A kicker should not be put into a position to have to kick 4 from 50+, but I sure am glad our kicker was one to NAIL them all! $$$$

I couldn’t believe Tucker left his short.

I hear the Balt defense is pretty good, so getting the ball into FG territory four times is a good thing. Well, we actually got there six times, but twice we got closer, once into the EZ.

Hard to believe considering the broadcast team was riding Tucker's tip like Lisa Ann.

Him coming up short on the 61 yarder was almost comical.

How times have changed ......

When I first started watching football in the early 1970's, a 40-yard field goal attempt was considered long-range.

Today, when a kicker misses a 61-yard field goal attempt, you'll here a comment such as "I can't believe that he came up short on that very makeable 61-yard attempt."

(ONE WEEK LATER)


In addition to missing a 47-yard FG attempt yesterday, head coach Shane Steichen eschewed giving Gay a chance to add 3 points by going for it on 4th down on the Rams' 31-yardline with almost 4 minutes left to play in the 4th quarter ...... with that much time on the clock, I would have liked to have seen Steichen let Gay attempt a 48-yard FG to try to cut the deficit to 23-11.

On the whole, I believe that Gay is a keeper and that he will be a major asset for the 2023 season.

(vs. JAGUARS, 10/15)


Of the 2 field goals that Gay booted today, one of them was a 56-yarder.

He is 11-for-12 on FG's for the season, and 13-for-13 on XP's.

(vs. PANTHERS, 11/05)


Of the 2 field goals that Gay booted today, one of them was a 57-yarder.

He is 16-for-18 on FG's for the season (16-for-17, if you take into consideration that of the "misses" was blocked), and 24-for-24 on XP's.

6 out of his 16 made field goals have been from 50 yards and beyond, and 9 out of the 16 have been from 40 yards and beyond.

Such an improvement over Spec's, who over analyzed everything. Just kick the fucking ball!
