Aubrey's (Butter) missed FG

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Remember that Vikings kicker who was perfect all year. And missed in the postseason to clinch a SB berth?

That's why I'm glad it's over.

I was just talking about this to a friend when he missed it. Was it Gary Anderson who missed that FG for the Vikings?

That's him!!!

Was perfect all year...until it mattered most!!

Sort of agree, and hitting the 50 yarder after the miss was key. No worries now. I had visions of Anderson with the Vikings.

That’s what I was thinking. I’m glad he got his miss out of the way. Morten Anderson missing in the NFCCG in 98 was on my mind. Him drilling the 50 yarder with ease put everything back to normal. He showed his confidence is fine.

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).

He might be rebelling, old boy.
After I urged we lock him up and then asserting he could make Jimmy's rosters.

It seemed like it was really windy, not a problem in AT&T.

 

[bandfan]

Exactly. It gave him the chance to miss one and then come back and regain his confidence in meaningless game.

Why does everyone seem to assume he lost his confidence over 1 meaningless Fg? I get the feeling he he probably said "well damn" and then quit worrying about...

 

[cowboyed]

The kick that was blocked was due to an unabated defender getting to the football. You also notice that the ball holder had to handle some spastic snaps, and if anyone was getting a bit yipsy it was the ball holder who seemed to remove his hand a tad to quickly on top of the football at times when Aubrey was in motion to kick. I think that may have affected Aubrey's concentration as well as sporadic windy conditions at FedEx Field.

 

[Carter]

It was very windy, hence we needed 5 tries for the opening kickoff and he redeemed himself with a 50 yarder outside.

Aubrey isnt a mental midget like Maher, atleast thats my impression. He will kick 2x at home in the Playoffs which should make life much easier.

 

[Wezsh0T]

Yes we actually needed that, I was thinking the same lol. Didn't want to end the streak in the playoffs lol

I was thinking the same thing earlier this week.

Nah I had visions of Justin Tucker. He did the same thing in the afc championship game

 

[nightrain]

What is most important is he was able to hit the reset button.

let's just stay here with the Cowboys and let's bring in Green Bay 2014 Dan Bailey missed two field goals in that playoff game people forget that cause we remember the fumble remember the the cats no cats with Dez but people forget we lost that game in other ways as well Mr. clutch Dan Bailey missed two field goals in that game.... Kind of eerie

 

[aikemirv]

I was not sure if I wanted him to try the 50 yarder or not but since he nailed it it was the best thing that could happen for him going into the playoffs

It's the way the streak ended that pissed me off!!!!!!!!!!!! The LEG's streak didn't deserve to go down that way................It's a shame that the streak didn't end on a 70 yd FG attempt..................LOL!

 

[Praxit]

....it no biggie, it hit the up right. Just few inches to the right. WOuld have been good.

The block is not on him, but players collapsed upfront.

That would have been optimal.
