Twitter: FG kicking woes most cost Cowboys the 2019 season

America's Cowboy · Mar 26, 2020

Don't believe me? Look at these terrible numbers by ex-kicker Brett Maher...

Well, arguably, Jason Garrett was responsible for keeping Maher this long into the 2019 season when it was clear Maher had struggles being accurate since the 2018 season. How many games were lost by the foot of Brett Maher? It cost both Maher and Garrett their jobs, but no other facet of the team cost the Cowboys the 2019 season more.

Just look at Kai Forbath's last 5 teams stats (came to Dallas at the end of the 2019 season). He was 10 for 10 (100% accurate) for the Cowboys last year at the end of the season.

Regardless of other issues that happened on the field, none were more costly than so many missed FGs. What could have been if the Cowboys FG kicking game had been much better? This facet of the game most cost the Cowboys the 2019 season.

What say you?

This isn't new, but keeping him was JJ doing. I recall halfway into the season JG said they was looking at more kickers. Then JJ came in and place that to rest. Same way they hired a clueless ST coach.

Brett Maher Appreciation Thread :clap:

Thanks to you there will be no more Clapper roaming the sidelines, and no DC that believes you can survive with 290 lb nose tackles, or a secondary coach that tells you to play the hands of the receiver and not the ball :laugh:

Sounds like excuse making to me from the resident troll... while he had to go because his inconsistency could cost them future contests, he didn’t actually cost them a single game.

There's no question but what Forbath had games in late 2019 that beat what Maher did before. Here's hoping he'll have a good year left in him.

Durrrrrr.... um, whatever you say.

He missed a FG vs the Jets in a game we lost by 2.

He missed a FG vs the Vikings in a game we lost by 4 (needed a TD on the final drive, we got into FG range but couldn’t punch it in).

The Jets? You mean the game he kicked a 62 yarder and a 50 yarder in to make the score what it was? You’re on so many drugs these days you don’t even remember that you don’t actually watch the games. Reminder: you’re a joke, everyone is either laughing at you or has you on ignore.

Totally agree . Missed FGs , followed by dropped balls and poor coaching . The big 3 leading 2019 failure

Missing a last second FG is not the only way to lose a game. Go back and learn some football, Super_Dump.

Yes we’re waiting for America’s Clownboy to name all of the crucial kicks that Maher missed that cost them the game. You have nothing as usual except more embarrassment.

Go do some homework. You might just learn something.

Go to bed little one. Leave the football talk to those who know. You're world is going to get worse with Dak and the Cowboys back to contract negotiations and a longterm deal soon to be signed.

You know it's rather interesting that our special teams unit was arguably one of the league's worst last season and it seems to remain largely unchanged outside of Fassel.

I still hope that we bring in kicking competition for Forbath and would it hurt us to bring in a new punter as well?

LOLLLL

Human Joke calling someone else a joke.

So hostile! (Probably because Dak’s oh-so-close to slapping you right in the mouth)
:lmao2:

Someone please pinch me when Dak and this star studded offense leads us further than any other QB this Century. Thanks

Ok. In this "century". Covering your basis..

Dak hating trolls only find excuses for one QB. His number rhymes with fine.
