Brett Maher now 8 of 9

[Proof]

A 38 yard field goal once upon a time didn't call for cheers. That time was when we had the second most accurate kicker in NFL history.

Yeah it’s not the distance. Was the stakes and especially because he replaced Bailey. That’s it. With how attrocious as kicking has been in the league and the pressure of the situation it was praiseworthy

Maher's leg strength is just shy of Tucker's in Baltimore.

He will hit some absolute bombs, and yes, will probably miss a few high 40's kicks, but it won't be for lack of leg strength. He's solid, very.

For now, let's see how his numbers look at the end of the season. Hasn't even reached 90% accuracy yet.

3rd Maher thread today

I'm going to create another one.

I'll PM a few people and ask them to create some also.

Will you post to tell me that I'm forth ...

Proud of that guy too. However, I'm still disappointed on why we settle for so many field goals and so little TDs. Eventually we need to start scoring more TDs if we're to go deep into the playoffs.

That kick almost went over the Stadium. It would have been good from 55 Yards+

Really good for him, this one will build confidence.

Way to early to tell... BAILEY WAS MONEY

Bailey missed plenty of big kicks. And was poor in the playoffs. He The whole moniker of "most accurate kicker" ever is so misleading. Give me someone who can make kicks when it matters more than Bailey did. Vinateri and Tucker blow him out of the water for being the most accurate. They did it when it mattered. Bailey also had a mediocre leg distance wise.

Bailey was great but the past few years looked very shaky even on makes. He literally banked a few easy ones in.

I started to get the feeling he was a choke job waiting to happen. I dont think he was 100% physically right and it translated into misses and shaky confidence, beginning in GB in the Dez catch game.

Me and Brett Maher share the same surname and I feel very protective of him already, great job bro!

 

[cwbyfn88]

Props to him. That was a big time kick. Hopefully he doesn't make us regret getting rid of bailey down the stretch.

I was surprised that patricia did not call TO at last second, to rattle maher.!
I would have since that was his first end of game fg to win a game in NFL.

Detroit had no time outs at that point.

 

[Tommy]

It was the biggest kick I've seen here in...maybe in my lifetime.

I wasn't under the impression that you watched football games.

 

[Colombiacowboy]

happy for the kid. That was a potentially season ruining and career derailing kick he calmly nailed.

Good job

Me too. I was happy for the kid. He has been very good since the week 1 miss. We have been pretty lucky over the years with kickers, so let's hope he keeps it up.

 

[Aviano90]

I want to see if Maher can be iced or not.

 

[jazzcat22]

So proud of him. If he had any jitters before, he quelled them today.

I think the fans had more jitters than he had.
I know I did.
I don't think I breathed during that time. If I did. it probably would have caused a draft in the stadium and caused him to miss. And I was 7 miles away in my home.

 

[csirl]

Maher seems to be settling into the job now. Has been perfect since week 1.

 

[Aviano90]

don't jinx him.

 

[jazzcat22]

Maher at 88.9%
Bailey was 88.2%




Sorry just had to post that. I mean nothing by it.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Who did Dan Bailey replace? Was it David Buehler? God that guy was a monster to be a place kicker. I'd sign him right now to play safety

 

[Galian Beast]

Microcosm of Cowboys fans today.

Maher is 8 of 9 on field goals, but only has 3 kicks more than 40 yards out, he is 2/3 from 40+

But yes, please compare him to Dan Bailey who is 88.3 percent from 40-49 yards...
