I wouldn't put much stock into it. The NFL just wanted the Giants to cover the eight point spread (I think that is the terminology). After the miss, the Giants drove down the field and got favorable penalties (including the personal foul penalty on Parsons that no one saw) until they scored a TD to make it 28-20.

Would suck if NFL has become fake like wrestling. Nothing to stop it really. Owners want ratings and that is how you would do it.

Let try to realize that all kickers miss one every now and then -- demanding perfection isn't fair-minded, nor reasonable. :facepalm:

Nobody "had to" make that comment. Being paranoid is truly not an excuse. Expecting 100% sucks, any way you slice it. :rolleyes:


:muttley: Lighten up, Francis.

I thought that was a big miss, not a huge one, but it could have been important in a similar situation with maybe a minute or two more on the clock. We have to be able to count on Maher to make those in critical situations.

After today's miss, he's 18-for-20 the last two seasons from that range. In his earlier stint with Dallas, not so good.

He missed one today. It happens. It didn't matter...except for the folks who bet Dallas -10. :muttley:
and for me on the Just for one game i picked 31-20 Dallas win!!!!! lol so close!

Exactly! I would have been pissed if I had Dallas -10. I took the Giants plus 9 & half. :thumbup:

OK, someone had to say it. Money Maher Missed a kick inside 50. This ain't the old Maher coming back, right. Kickers make me nervous.....
It didn't matter...He's been really good this year....Relax....Until he starts sucking

Are we talking about the same guy who made two 60 yarders before halftime last week, in 3 minutes?

He's human. If it becomes a trend then different discussion

This was a one off
