Greg Zuerlein deserves praise also

one FG was 60yard attempt and doesn't count like a Hail marry for a qb the int or incompletions really not something you count..

hes a top 5 kicker and that something to be just fine with,..

hes 12-14 in kicks without the 60+ yarder in there.. rights thats down right embarrassing LMAO what clueless fan expecting perfection from a player..is that 90% i mean wow he sux hard

does dak never throw an INT or fumble no incompletions?

does OL not miss blocks or get penalties

do receivers catch everything?

do all Defenders make every tackle and big stop?
Sugarcoat it or make excuses for him all you want. 3 missed FGs and 2 missed XPs isn't great. Who said embarrassing? Now you're just making stuff up AGAIN
And what does that have to do with Dak? You guys with your agendas are just ridiculous...

I have never kicked a FG in a game of football but I don't know how you could not see/feel/sense that guy being so close off the edge.
I don't know. You are focusing down on the ball and that guy closed 5 yards in a less than a second or so right? If he came right up the middle I'd totally agree. Off the edge, like I said so I'm not misquoted, "I'm not sure" he saw him.

Zuerlein is good. The blocking upfront needs to be better - 3 kicks almost blocked from the right side vs. NE in the 2nd half and that definitely influenced the 51-yarder miss because he felt it coming and pulled it way left. I believe it was Jeremy Sprinkle who was responsible for that assignment but he had just been promoted to the active roster.

Give me a break! Missing three 3 pointers in Tampa & you want to give him praise. The Cowboys would be 6-0. But no. He gave Brady a free pass. My gosh that man's never consistent & has Cowboys Nation sitting on the edge of their seats every time he's trying for a 3 pointer. I hope he doesn't cost us a playoff birth, let alone, a playoff loss.

I think we all got spoiled with Bailey. However, my lack of trust for Greg Leg was dispelled when I looked at the stats this season and last. From under 50 yards he's 42 out of 44(95%). So under 50 yards he's been very good. Any lack of confidence in his kicking should be over 50 yards, which is where league percentages dip substantially. There he's hitting 4 out of 12(33%) which isn't great.

Apart from his week 1 horror show, he’s been clutch ever since.
Hit a long game winning kick in Los Angeles and nailed a long one to take the game to overtime in New England … the only field goal he’s missed since week 1 was a 50+ yarder, so hopefully we have again a reliable kicker.
I am still not trusting 100%
But if he keeps up the good work, I can be swayed.
Missing xp's is inexcusable

NOPE NO and again NO

the one was 60 attempt and yet again some clueless fan cant see most kickers dot make many 60yarders now do they??.. hes missed to the xps were early on but hit all the ones that were considered a GW type been even TB late, l;ac late to tie the pats and go to ot yes yes and yet again yes..those are clutch.

he still one of the better kickers in the league..


DONE

For some reason I have very little confidence in him.
I agree.
Possibly, because often his misses are way off, and the ones he makes are often barely inside the uprights.

After he missed the 53 yarder so bad vs NE, I was PLEASANTLY surprised he made the 49 yarder to send us into OT.
