Maher Extends Cowboys & NFL Record for 60+ FG

[jrumann59]

I wonder if the NFL will be testing him this week....

 

[JJHLH1]

The coaching staff has made some excellent decisions this season.

Maher has been terrific.

Brett Maher is proof that the NFL gives up to quick on kickers ......... man worked on his craft and is clutch as hell now.

I'd say on other positions as well but it is funny though I'm reminded by this when I see Nick Folk kick....how many kickers ago was Nick Folk? Thought his career was over when he left Dallas.

Makes you wonder what happened to that one kicker from Tampa Bay? Was he a 1st rounder? I'd love to be there when he gets it together.

Maher was a joke when we drafted him. Never would I ever have imagined him being this reliable

Dallas didn't draft him. The Cowboys weren't even his first NFL team. The Jets signed him as an UDFA. They then cut him in training camp. Dallas then brought him in while Bailey was recovering from injury. That was was back in 2013. He didn't get his first regular season action until 2018 with Dallas. He is 33 now. No one imagined he would be this reliable.

Wow, I could've sworn we drafted Maher with a 5th pick

What choice is there for teams? Are they supposed to stick with a guy who isn't converting field goal attempts? How much time should teams give a guy? Maher has been around since 2013 and actually kicking in games since 2018. In essence, Dallas didn't give up on him. They have brought him in a few times to compete. Tough choices often have to be made.

He was a boss today - especially the 60 yarders at the half.

That would have been a weird pick in 2013 as Dan Bailey had established himself as a good kicker at the time.

 

[john van brocklin]

That was his 4th from 60 or more. He is the only Cowboys kicker with a 60 yarder, let alone 4 of them. NFL record for most as well.

Hats off to money Maher

 

[john van brocklin]

Still pretty PO'd that the Refs came in so late wit the reply negating the 1st kick. That stuff can't happen.

Should not at This level.
That's embarrassing to the NFL

I was yelling at the screen to hurry the hell up....it was our own fault!!!

Literally...Nick Folk who made a pro-bowl for us in 2007 has an NFL record *64 consecutive* made field goals under 50 yards

 

[links18]

Whiever did the scouting on him this time around deserves a bonus. See to it, Jerry.

 

[Runwildboys]

The NFL tried to stop that. It’s crazy it only happens to us. I would bet anything if he missed, they would have never reviewed anything!

I don't think that was an official review. I think that was a challenge, but I could be wrong.

You're probably thinking of David Buehler, drafted 5th round in 2009 by Dallas.

That's the one. Wow, I got all turned around there

We didn't draft Maher.. he came as a free agent both times through Dallas.
