Maybe the long-ball magic is gone and we need to stop trotting him out there regularly for moonshot FG attempts?

He did hit 4 of his previous 5 from that distance (since last Sept.) so hopefully it's just a slump he can work his way out of.

Killer 6-point swing at the end of the half in Houston thanks to the confidence we had in Aubrey.
 
Some of his misses have come in games nobody cared about. Washington last year. Giants last game. And the 2 Vikings misses..... we can argue if that Vikings game had much meaning after we pretty much lost our playoff chances vs the Lions.

But that Ravens block was costly. But it was blocked. I don't think a blocked field goal is on the kicker.

The Cardinals miss you can argue could've been valuable too. Our season would've played out different.... if we head into the Vikings game 7-5-1..... we could've gameplanned differently, had a different sense of urgency against the Vikings, Chargers, and Giants.

So it's good that he's missing these in games that are perceived as low importance games. The 2 missed last week was exacerbated at the time.... saved because we won, but I think it brought to light the fact that we really need to address this right about now. One of them was blocked, but the other one was missed and didn't look even close.

Maybe don't send him for those long attempts unless it's end of half or end of game...... or it's when we really have absolutely no choice.
