Dan Bailey is a Game Changer

[faninjersey]

Wow! What a game last night, and I'm still basking in the outcome. SOOO many plays... The turning point to me was that ridiculous 58 yard field goal by Bailey. He tied the score back up, and had he missed, Seattle would have had a very short field. That was as big a momentum changer as I've seen a kicker have. He's amazing. Don't want to get ahead of myself, because we've had a rough 5 years but...... HOW ABOUT DEM COWBOYS!!!

bailey ftw! Most accurate kicker...ever. period.

That kick looked good for 60 + It cleared the crossbars with room to spare, and was right down the middle.

What a weapon.

Just look at a team like the Lions to know how valuable Bailey is. Amazing talent.

I wonder if Money B can punt?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I was down and out about needing to punt, then out trotted Bailey! And he made the longest FG of his career (if I'm not mistaken) at a crucial time. The Seattle crowd was silenced. I just love it.

Money B. I like it.

Guy has clutch in his veins.

After 3rd down I was thinking ok we have to punt the ball hope we can pin them back. I look up and all of a sudden I see Bailey out there and thinking what the heck? Hell of a kick to get the game tied up. Garrett showed a lot of confidence in his kicker kudos to Bailey for stepping up and proving Jason right.

I was 50/50 on the attempt there. At the time, wasn't too happy with the FG try....if he missed, they had the ball close to mid-field with a 3 pt lead. Glad it worked out

I was actually thinking Dallas should just go for it, but then Bailey just made the most casual 56-yarder of all time and I had to reconsider lol

Look at these #'s:

I realize he has far fewer opportunities than those other guys at the top of the leaderboard as his career is just getting started, but he is remarkable.

88-92 on FG's 49 or under - 95.7%
14-20 on FG's 50+ - 70% (He is 9 for his last 11 from 50+ which is 81.8%)

What a weapon.

what scares the competition is that he just casually strolls out there, no hesitation in the most hostile places and just does it. time after time like its nothing. and his power has increased quite a bit from early career you know. used to look like around 50 was his limit now I would say 60+

This guy is the Jerry Rice of kickers!

Bailey is the best.

 

[aquavita]

All the guy does is make field goals. The most boring--and therefore greatest--kicker we've ever had.

 

[locked&loaded]

I was kind of upset they didn't try to kick a field goal earlier in the game. Would have been like a 59? I think with Bailey on the team its a shame to leave points on the field and punt. let the man kick

It was casual. He looked like he barely kicked it. I guess that's his secret.

Disagree.

Let's not put him in that situation unless it just has to be.

He doesn't miss. Don't stack odds against him.

I want his zen to last forever. Lol
