Do we miss Forbath yet?

[Praxit]

...when he got shafted my first thought was, "huh". If I'm correct , he hit every single PAT and FG attempt before season ended. So we bring in this guy, who has monster leg, then misses a 53 yarder.

That missed attempt was crucial, those 3 points came to be difference in game.

..your thoughts?

PS.. I know its still first game.

 

[Havic]

I dont think anyone will Debate otherwise that its clear Greg > Kai. Yes the missed kick was unfortunate, but we had another opportunity to tie and passed it up.

 

[Yobwocs]

If he makes that field goal, there's no doubt MM goes for a field goal on that 4th down in the red zone in the 4th quarter.

 

[Praxit]

..umm, ..thats interesting. I didn't think of that.

it was over 50 so NO let's stop finding more and more issues to gripe about..

i saw the titans kicker miss 4 and xp and the coach after his game wining FG said no issues and hes staying the kicker..

 

[Whyjerry]

We haven’t had a good ST coach in eons. I trust Fassel.

 

[Doomsday]

When did 53 yard FGs become automatic?

 

[8FOR!3]

Kai Forbath is so good he's not even on a team.

The Rams missed a much shorter kick so it was a wash. 50 yarders are no gimmies in the nfl and a bit better odds than a coin flip to make it. Greg is 60% in his career during his career from that distance so not a shocking miss by any stretch.

 

[cowboyec]

no.

Or maybe the missed FG by the Rams was the difference in the game

Beat me too it and after the miss. I was wondering if we got rid of the wrong kicker.

 

[HungryLion]

It was a 53 yarder. Those are tough kicks.

too early to say we will miss Forbath. For bath isn’t without his warts either.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Our kicker last year would have nailed that kick, it was the under 40 yarders he had a problem with.

 

[Star Guard_31]

People draw false correlations between raw law strength and accuracy when it comes to long distance field goals.

Forbath actually has a higher career conversion rate from beyond 50 yards even though Zuerlein has a demonstrably stronger leg.

Yah because no one misses 53 yards much. LOL

It was the first kick of the year genius. I guess you don't know who Zuerline is do you? I guess you don't know who Forbath is either?

 

[Ranched]

Kai Forbath is so good he's not even on a team.

Neither are Antonio Brown & Earl Thomas.

Forbath actually has a higher career conversion rate from beyond 50 yards even though Zuerlein has a demonstrably stronger leg.

But he's also tried much, much fewer of those long kicks.

I'll admit I had flashback to our last big name kicker signing as that failed spectacularly.

 

[Mr_437]

Would've like a TC competition between Kai n Leg, but whatever...not tripping on a kicker unless he's bad as Maher.

 

[pancakeman]

I would be really disappointed to learn that a wide-right *53 yarder* would have diminished a coach's confidence in a kicker to the point of making a bizarre call to avoid a chip-shot FG later in the game.
