Not so obvious benefit of Brad Johnson:

I don't know if this has been brought up yet but having Brad Johnson as the holder has to be a big plus for Folk's kicking.
Can you think of a more steady guy to have back there, having a calming affect on the kicker and more than likely providing perfect ball spots on every kick?
Johnson has been around forever and seen everything the game has to offer. He has to be a big positive for Folk.

For some reason, to me, the ball seems to move very slowly and deliberatively on his FGs and PATs. Like it knows its on target and going through the uprights. Dude can really stroke it.

I wander if it was Brad that changed the snap count on the second FG try at
the end of the game..It got the defense off side, but the FG was good anyway.

It probably was Brad. Nick Fold said he and Brad talked about it because they had film of the bills jumping the snap count and they did draw them offsides by changing the count.

If Nick Folk had missed that second kick and the game ended on a penalty, I assume we accept, move the ball up some and re-kick. Could of had 3 chances at that one FG.

I loved Folk's response when one of the players was encouraging him after the 1st FG when it was nullified by the time out. He said something like "I'm fine. I'll make it 3 times if I have to." You know what, I believe he would have too.

I'm not sure what impact Brad Johnson has on Folk, but that kid has ice water running through his vains and has a very strong leg. The first time he kicked that 53 yard FG, it looked like it would be good for at least 60 yards. :eek:

I don't know as I have ever seen as straight a kicker. He not only makes it, he dead splits the uprights most times.

What are the odds of winning that game?

It's a great Omen.
