Our FG kicker deserves a pat

[Redball Express]

We look like we made the right decision to let go of Bailey.

He kept us in the game and scored over half our points.

Another decision that is bearing fruit going forward.

Don't know who made that decision...

but it was good.

His kickoffs are good, too.

It's going to take more than what I've seen so far to have real faith in this guy but today was a good step.

 

[AlienBoy]

Didn't he have two?

But, but, but, I want to see him kick a game winning FG from 50 yards in 20 mph wind after being iced.

Didn't he have two?

Plus his extra points

People need to stop comparing him to 2015 Bailey.

They also need to stop comparing third year Dak to 10th year Romo, but I digress.

Really? What more do you want at this point?

He missed his first ever attempt, and in the rain I believe. And has made 7 straight since. And a key game winning clutch kick.

I wanna see him kick blindfolded with his left leg tied behind his waist

I need to see it for more than 4 games. I need to see consistency from 45+ with the game on the line.

Great move by the front office. After bailey now this kid, whoever is scouting kickers should be in the war room instead of the governor and Jerry's grandkids

Lucky for him. We almost had to break out the soap in the pillowcases.

Have you checked Bailey’s accuracy in those situations?

Bailey is the second most accurate kicker in NFL history and will be a nearly impossible act to follow.

I know. You gave specific scenarios. With the game on the line he was good 40 yards in. Over 40 was a little dicey, despite being the most accurate kicker in NFL history. He did get a little better the last few years but would clank some off the goal posts instead of his normal right down the middle. He also hit one in the 2016 playoff game after being absolutely horrible on the 2014 playoff. But: the point is, over 40 with game on the line, Bailey was exactly money like you would think .
