Dan Bailey has become the most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL, making 91 out of his first 100 attempted field goals. He's also never missed an extra point.

Wow. I didn't realize he was 99 for 100. He's even better than I thought. I hope he keeps his percentage up there.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Amazing. The guy is beyond that.

 

[Leadbelly]

Said it in the game day thread, if not for Bailey I wonder if we're not a perennial 5-11 team rather than an 8-8.

He's being an enabler for our mediocrity.

And now that parity is a part if every day NFL life it is imperative that you have a good kicker and we have a great one!!!

 

[Venger]

And can we get a high five for the snapper and holder? Talk about unsung...

91-100 non 99

I'm beginning to appreciate special teams more and more in this league of parity... that can be the difference maker for a lot of teams now it seems. And I'm glad we have a good ST unit.

Will Hostile like this?

He'd be 75-for-100 if the goal posts were four feet wide.

Dude is amazingly accurate.

 

[romothesavior]

Dude is a beast. Can't speak highly enough of him.

Ha Ha. Hostile hates kickers but he loves anything that is good for the Cowboys.

Yes, I was telling my wife during the game, "Watch this kick, right down the middle."

She pointed out that it was slightly to the left of middle, but I love having a kicker who doesn't just barely make it inside the uprights. The only times we've seen Bailey do that is when we set him up too far to the left.

I think Vanderjagt was the #1 in history when we signed him. He went into pure meltdown mode. I don't think that will happen with Bailey.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I love Bailey and his accuracy, but I wish the Cowboys wouldn't meltdown with drive killing penalties and plays and rely less on Bailey.

Usually, it's the bad players that are considered enablers for mediocrity.

Is it just me, or is 100 attempts seem like a lot before we'll count your performance in the NFL? That's how many years into a kicker's career before you qualify for a ranking? 5-6?

He's been awesome. I love the kid. I hope he continues to kick this accurately for another 10 or more years.
