Aubrey has missed 6 of his last 7 FG from 57+

[Nav22]

Maybe the long-ball magic is gone and we need to stop trotting him out there regularly for moonshot FG attempts?

He did hit 4 of his previous 5 from that distance (since last Sept.) so hopefully it's just a slump he can work his way out of.

Killer 6-point swing at the end of the half in Houston thanks to the confidence we had in Aubrey.

Some of his misses have come in games nobody cared about. Washington last year. Giants last game. And the 2 Vikings misses..... we can argue if that Vikings game had much meaning after we pretty much lost our playoff chances vs the Lions.

But that Ravens block was costly. But it was blocked. I don't think a blocked field goal is on the kicker.

The Cardinals miss you can argue could've been valuable too. Our season would've played out different.... if we head into the Vikings game 7-5-1..... we could've gameplanned differently, had a different sense of urgency against the Vikings, Chargers, and Giants.

So it's good that he's missing these in games that are perceived as low import. The 2 missed last week was exacerbated at the time, but saved because we won. It did bring to light the fact that we really need to address this right about now. One of them was blocked, but the other one was missed and didn't look even close.

Maybe don't send him for those long attempts unless it's end of half or end of game...... or it's when we really have absolutely no choice.

did ya miss the one he hit from 55 this year ... right down the middle and going at least 15 yards beyond?

Hilariously, I just looked up who was the most 60-plus yard field goals made?

Wait for it ....... Brandon Aubrey

maybe a bit of research before bringing your takes here to the grown ups.

I had a feeling this would happed. Kickers are like no hitters and fight club.

Or just being a cowboys player and getting the bag then after getting the bag, your play slumps

This is necessary context:

“Ok let’s break this down two out of the last 3 were blocked, two of the misses were 65 and 68 (insane distances), and two were outside in freezing temperatures the only really bad miss on here was that one against Minnesota at home I’m not concerned”

schotty needs to stop with the ridiculous long attempts when in a battle of field position- it’s bad coaching

 

[Whirlwin]

54 longer, punt the ball
No, if the game is on the line and you have to kick a long field goal because time is running out , and that’s what you need to do for the win, then do it .

100%

A punt is not a bad play. Particularly when you can pin a team deep, and we have a punter that can do it.

Sorenson should have been fired last year IMO, and the fact we have had 2 blocked kicks in as many weeks underlines that point.

Schotty is aggressive at the wrong moments and conservative at the wrong moments.

Tired of the 60+ yarders that end up just giving the opposing team free points when we miss or it’s blocked.
