Does Bailey Make a 63 Yarder

[DFWJC]

If T-Will had caught the ball and--giving him a few bonus extra yards--had picked up 2-3 yards before getting out of bounds at the 45-46 yard line, would Dan Bailey have made a 63 yarder?

I realize the odds are extremely slim. His career long is 56 and that was on Sunday.
Kickers will tell you that nailing two absolute perfect kicks, distance and accuracy, in the same game is rare.
But we know Bailey and it'd been nice to see him get the chance. I'd never rule it out.

What do you think.
Just curious

 

[cheftjpeck]

Yes if he kicks it like he did the 56 it would go through

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

He was in the zone Sunday. I have no doubt he would have nailed it.





And there would have probably been a holding penalty to negate it.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Cromartie, who we failed to block the entire game for whatever reason, blocks the kick.

 

[JBS]

I don't think Dan has the leg to get it there

 

[Virginia-Dave]

He had already hit two long FG's that day, and he was kicking inside at his home stadium. If there was ever a day Bailey could hit a record tying FG, it was Sunday. Too bad we'll never know.

 

[Real1st]

Yes i believe he does.

 

[CATCH17]

I don't think Dan has the leg to get it there

I didn't either until he hit the 56 yarder with plenty of room to spare.

His leg strength has improved.

 

[Plankton]

Bailey is great. The best that has been in a Cowboy uniform at his position.

But, 63 yards is a tough enough kick. The tendency to overkick it is great because of the distance. It's even moreso when it's for the win at the end of a game. I think he misses it.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

If I had to choose.

I choose Bailey.

It's 50-50 chance.


I trust him more than half of the players on the team.

 

[DallasEast]

Yes, unless there had been a bad snap-and-hold or someone blocked it. The only other alternative would have been him kicking it and the ball bouncing off the crossbar.

 

[DK30]

Absolutely.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Hell yes. Not everyday, but Bailey was ON Sunday.

 

[DallasEast]

If I had to choose.

I choose Bailey.

It's 50-50 chance.


I trust him more than half of the players on the team.

Half??? That's conservative. Me? I trust Bailey more than 95% of his teammates. No joke.

Scratch that.

On certain gamedays, I trust Bailey more than 95% of the rest of the team--including some of his non-special teams coaches.

 

[Don Corleone]

His leg strength has improved.

Maybe he visited the same clinic as Peyton Manning.

I'll one up you....

I trust Bailey more than Jerry.

 

[DallasEast]

I'll one up you....

I trust Bailey more than Jerry.

You got jokes.

Practically everyone trusts Bailey more than Jones.

 

[CATCH17]

Maybe he visited the same clinic as Peyton Manning.

Maybe.. These guys only get tested twice a year.. Kind of obvious looking at some of these guys that they are doing it.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Thats a Sebass kick. Dont know of Bailey his that

I think The 46 yd line was best case scenario, good chance it was 47 or 48. While he hit that 56 yarder well, I don't think it cleared it 21 to 26 feet or so needed for a 63+ plus yarder. I don't it gets there....if it's not blocked
