How does Blair Walsh still have a job?

He just missed another chip shot

I get your point, he's got to be on thin ice. But 46 yards is definitely not a chip shot.

We broke him.

We broke him like the Stealers broke Mike Vanderjagt.

For NFL kickers it really is.

The only thing we had to do with it is we were the team he shanked a chippy to win a playoff game against.

Kickers are like Golfers. Once they lose that confidence they're done.

How about the way the Giants broke Scott Norwood?

Kickers have absolutely gotten better over time. But in 2015, kickers made about 77% of kicks between 40 and 50 yards. Thats within a point or three of the best percentage ever. I'm not sure how being indoors affects those totals. But i doubt it hurts them.

If around 80% sounds like chip shot territory for you, that makes sense. For me, "chip shot" is probably 30 yards, tops. But my perspective is skewed by remembering when 45-yard field goals were 50-60% affairs. :2thumbs:

There's a bit more to it than that. If you don't see it, then I can't explain it.

My point being that for a professional football player getting paid a fair amount of money to basically do one thing, to kick a football,a 46 yards is a chip shot. Stop being so chippy

You're right, it was all Seattle that ruined him, by ... standing there 20 yards away watching him shank a kick.

Your extreme homerism is always on point Roland. I'll give you that. :2thumbs:
