Aubrey's (Butter) missed FG

[since75]

He was due for a miss every time we lined up for a field goal. The 50 at the end makes everything ok again. Time to start a new streak.

We're spooked because of what happened last year with Maher.....but Aubrey is a different animal

I think it was great that he got another shot at a deep 50 yarder. I’m glad McCarthy rushed him right back out there. Imagine his mindset going into next week if he didn’t get a chance to redeem himself.

Greg Olsen tried to warn that blabbermouth Burkhardt. But it was too late

That whole bit throughout the game was hilarious.
Olsen was funny. He seemed as relieved as everyone
when the 50 yarder was nailed near the end.

 

[LBPick]

Calm down. He hit the upright on purpose to show everyone he can hit a flea in a hurricane if necessary.

Making a FG to close the deal is a bit soothing. Can't blame him for a failed block and hitting the crossbar may rid the pressure.

Olsen was also driving me and others in the game thread crazy. I'm that same sports superstitious type and I could feel his anxiety.

I didn't like the miss, but I did like he had another chance before the end of the game to hit one, to keep it from hanging over his head.

No. Kickers are all about confidence. Missing doesn’t help. Absolutely not

It does when you have the opportunity to hit your next one to prevent the yips.

Nope

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Just glad he hit the 50 yarder at the end. Was worried he’d be a head case all week after 2 misses.

 

[DallasInDC]

Nope

Yep

 

[lukemartin79]

you know the irony there where Brett Maher was great all year and the last game of the year against Washington started the whole yips

Thought the very same thing when that second kick dunked the post, lol. Sure hope not. Wish those 2 idiots would have just shut up about it before he missed too. Talk after he kicks it you dummies.

You're not alone brother. I wondered if I was the only one starting to dread that this guy was perfect. Yips are just part of the package. Have to get over one first.

The made 50 yd FG was huge. There were no yips. The 1st was blocked, the 2nd miss I think was just due. I'm not concerned.

For the next 2 games he'll be kicking in ideal circumstances with the best leg in the game.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yes that 50 yarder straight down the middle was a sigh of relief

Money kick. Thing of beauty.

Am i the only one who was glad to have the perfect record over heading into the postseason? I always felt perfect stats create more pressure above what is already a high pressure situation. This allows him to go out and do what he does without the perfect streak hanging over him (in a playoff scenario).

Technically he did not miss. 1 blocked by the D, poor blocking and 1 blocked by the goal post.

I am glad it happened when it was not needed. Pressure of the streak is over.

I'm kind of glad he missed one on his own. I felt bad that his streak ended because of a block.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a more solid hit on the goal post.

Glad we gave him that last kick. Not good IMO for a first-year guy to go into the playoffs coming off a miss. His demeanor was praised, but that doesn't mean things can't creep into his head.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Yes and maybe that was even Fassel's plan coming into the game as the line did not block at all during the first FG attempt. Very suspicious
