Thought he missed this kick when I saw it live, and had to go back and look again, couldn't believe it, what a kick!

When you see how high up on the goalposts it was when it crossed its crazy.
the posts are 18ft high which is 6 yds.. and this was from 50yds out.

I thought it was closer to a miss than it was. It was actually good by quite a bit, but kept traveling right after clearing the goal post, making it look like it was nearer to the post or even wide of it. Both of his kicks would have easily made it from a few yards longer.

Just glad he made it. I admit, it looked like he missed. Still dunno how it missed hitting the upright. It was like magic that it was good.

It was well past the upright before it was even with it. So if the upright was back about 5 yards or so, he might have hit it.

I thought he missed it for a second but when those 4 arms went up I was a happy camper I sorta expected a review would overturn it

He made them but it looked like one was a kinda line drive was a low kick

I think that was the 54-yarder, which still had room to spare. I've been very pleased with his kicking so far, not just because he's made them, but because he's made them cleanly. The game-winner was probably the closest he came to pulling or pushing one, and it was still easily good even if it didn't look like it at first glance.

I think it was the 54 yard one also Honest injun I hit a 50 yarder by accident in high school I could nail some long kicks but a lot of the time I never actually knew where they were going to go

Never had that ability, unless you wanted a ground ball. I guess I'd be good on onside kicks. Even I wouldn't know what to expect the ball to do.

We better not leave it up to Maher too often. We need to start generating more offense and TDs.

I kicked barefooted in practice a few times was actually better Tried to do it in a game but the coach of the other team said it was not legal

Same here. I had to rewind. I was going NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! before I noticed both referees had their hands up.

What a finish.

Yes, I was streaming it and the feed immediately switched over to the other game that was in overtime, cant remember, but never showed the replay again.
I had to go to YouTube to view it about 10 times.
Same thing I did. Kept watching it. Barely cleared but I will take it.
