Kickers always clutch against Dallas

[forever22]

Why is it that kickers seem to have their best/clutch games against the Cowboys? How many KNEW Folk was going to make that kick? If Lucy was holding the ball, he would have kicked her and the ball for the FG. If there was three feet of snow and 70 mph winds in his face, the ball would have sailed on through. Scott Norwood would have made that fabled kick, if it were against Dallas.

Former players and other kickers just seem to pull it out against them. Yeah, I know it's not just against Dallas, but it always seems that way, doesn't it?

Of course. Kickers aren't scared because they know, even if they miss, the Cowboys will find a way to screw up eventually so that the kicker will be off the hook. That's the reputation these days

I was saying the same thing yesterday. If he was still with us, that kick goes 10 yards to the left or right. But when they kick against us, they are money. We tend to make a lot of players look like unstoppable superstars when they are far from it. Ala Vince Young and Cutler from last year.

The funny thing is Folk was lapsing in both departments for us and now doing for the Jets what is requiring 2 kickers for us to do and still not really producing that much better results.

more importantly when was the last time a FG kicker missed a winning or a kick that would tie us in the 4th? I cannot think of one at the moment.

Even Kickers that end up blowing goats for us end up hitting 53 yarder's against us. Especially when it's to put their teams ahead for the first time all game with 30 seconds left.

I'm telling you. We're a fishy team. Al Davis has been known to call plays for Oakland while sitting in the luxury box.

We looked pretty darn good that first 37 minutes against a team that had absolutely no penalties all game.

For a team up 14 points and sitting on the opponents 3 with the ball 8 minutes to go. We sure as hell didn't look professional after that 3rd down.

Loved hearing Alicia Keyes sing New York once the game was over. Just made so much sense how on a night/day like 911 the mighter New Yorkers never gave up and fought the good fight to take charge and overcome the brutal challenges they were enduring and become triumphant.

Was an act out there. Call me what you want but we're so good at it. Acting.......

We never had the ball with a 14-point lead. We were ahead by seven points when we had the ball at the 2 with nine minutes to go.

Man I would have been furious. Could have went up 3 possessions.

I was so sure Folk would choke that kick and it even looked like it was going wide right and "magically" drifted back inside the goalpost! That said, have you done any research on made vs. missed clutch kicks against Dallas. I'm sure it averages out about the same as the rest of the NFL.

I know good and well that Jerry Jones has called plays from the press box when he had puppet coaches. I've seen him in the box with playsheet in hand.

Al Davis Jr? Think they make some money throwing games?

Nope, that's why I said fans perception. You always remember what affects you. Kind of like cars on the road. You never notice how many cars of the same model or even color until you look for one like yours.

So guys you know it all so tell me the last time a kicker missed a clutch kick against us. I bet you do not answer.

Typing fast and not checking. Meant to put should have been.

We should have at least gotten a field goal to make it a 2 possession game.

14 points any good team running the ball with time of possession in their favor 3 plays straight would have been up 14.

Oh you just knew this thread was going to make my frigging day. La dee freaking da! I'd like to kick him in the butt so hard that he'd have to take off this shoulder pads to take a dump. I'd like to kick in the huevos so hard that people think he has the mumps. I'd like to kick him in the shins so hard that his shoulders hurt. You know what my definition of a perfect football game is? Both Kickers get hurt.

Oh and I have Nate Kaeding in 2 of my 3 fantasy leagues. No, I'm not the least bit bitter. Not my fault that alum is jealous of how bitter I am.

Sawed off, chain smoking, Euro trash game loving, pieces of trash. That's what Kickers are.

In 2005, Lawrence Tynes missed a kick that would have tied the game. Dallas was leading Kansas City 31-28. Tynes' missed kick, as time expired, lost the game for the Chiefs.

So 6 years? That seems like a really long time to me.

Two years ago, Shaun Suisham (for the Commanders) missed two field goals against us, either of which could have won the game.


Dallas won 7-6. With one or both of those field goals, the Commanders would (theoretically) have beaten us 9-7 or 12-7.
