Shayne Graham yesterday was HOOOORRIIIBLLEE!!! I was in shock

[GPx]

And now Gostkowski...two of some of the most accurate kickers blew it.

Will Vinatieri be healthy for the Colts next week?

Nope

a good clutch kicker is VERY rare. Adam Vinateri is probably the only truely clutch kicker in the NFL. he makes he kicks when it matters.

David Akers was really clutch and hit tons of winners but in the past couple years he seems to have lost his flawless touch.

Usually you just want an older experienced kicker to kick for you in the playoffs. Morton Anderson was incredibly accurate. He had terrible power/range but he still made everything.

Nope

That sucks, but Stover is a pretty good replacement for them.

Nate Kaeding!, I'm not a Chargers fan but the dude is awesome, I can't wait to see how he does in the playoffs.

Sorry for the crap video

Dumb thread is dumb. I could point out just as many - if not more - QB's that have completely folded under the pressure of the playoffs, but get celebrated as great players. Doug Flutie comes to mind as a player who always choked in big NFL games.

RIP Neil Rackers

bump for rackers

Then make a thread about them...

i immediately thought of this thread when that kick was sailing left

[iamgenus]

This whole season has been a terrible one for kickers. Don't know wtf is going on.

[Iczer]

that was so bad, you instantly knew it was wasn't good when he kicked it. Did you see him leaning on it? lol

[thacalikid911]

that would have provided some many lulz if that went out of bounds.

[poppa_boner]

These kickers aint no Sebastian Janikowskis....

[ray mercer]

I don't feel bad for them. They get millions of dollars to kick a football. They should be trained to tune out their surroundings. Do kickers ever us earplugs?

[BeanieWells]

You cant trust ANY kickers now to make game winning kicks over 20 yards

[robogain]

These kickers aint no Sebastian Janikowskis....

seabass would have made that from 60

You're right, those kickers are/were in the playoffs.

Rackers shanked the ever living sht out of that kick. I remember on a Cards board a few months back there was a thread on him and someone said he's been doing good this year, but he definitely didn't want to see him in a game winning situation. I agree. Rack has been money on kickoffs, onsiders, and coverage so I can't get myself to hate the guy. He's the feistiest kicker in the league.

[EvanAlmighty]

the trend continues, first in the dal/min game the dal kicker missed a few

now kaeding who is money, missed one
