Maher is playing excellent. Yeah he missed from 50+, but he also made one right before the half to get the lead and gain momentum.

He also made a couple of other field goals from fairly close range and all extra points pretty much right down the middle.

Nice job Maher.

The kickoffs were weird tonight and the special teams didn't do their job.

To me it is odd that he can kick 60+ yard field goals but can't kick the ball into the end zone. That is super frustrating. We need him to kick the ball into the back of the end zone. Dallas cover ability sucks so allowing them to return it is scary.
His Kickoffs sucked. He is still inconsistent on FG’s also. The kick he missed, he missed bad.

He’s missing a FG a game. Cost us the Jets game. He’s been OK but I’d like to see us go after the kid from UGA.

Funny. It seems like a just a few weeks ago the hot topic was finding a new kicker ASAP. Glad to hear the concerns have been alleviated.

The only thing I know is he will either make it or miss it.

Every time.

I still don't trust him. It's nice to have a guy w/ a big leg for the desperation kick....but give me a guy that is clutch. :popcorn:

You know our season is going to come down to a kick to move on in the playoffs....and you wanna trust this guy? I don't...

I don't see how a guy who easily makes 60 plus yard FGs can't reach the end zone on kickoffs.

At first, I thought maybe it was cold air or wind, but the Giants kicker had no trouble kicking it 7 yards deep into the endzone.

Either way, he is a solid kicker having a nice season.

In the 7 games in which he's attempted a fg, he has missed one in 4 of the 7.....

I still don't see how Maher can make those 60 yarders but can't kick the ball out the back of the endzone? I mean Bailey could do it. I thought maher had a stronger leg.

Yeah, but tell me you’re not just a wee bit puckered every time he lines up to kick a field goal. I certainly am.

Maybe he's afraid of it sailing out of bounds before the endzone.
