We complaining about Zane Gonzales (With the most Browns-like Extra Point ever) or Chris Boswell (Who is scaring me at this point)? Or both?

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Always have a plan. And a backup plan. And backups to the backup.
And be able to improvise.

Don't forget Carlson. And Crosby. And Elliott. Bad day for kickers.

That Steve Christie miss that would have won the Superbowl has to be the worst...... I wonder sometimes if he was ever able to recover from that......

It was Scott Norwood. Not Christie.

That Norwood kick is perhaps THE NFL "what if"

Is Parcells a HOFr if that kick is good?

Is Belichick a mastermind after allowing Thurman to run wild on him? (his ACTUAL gameplan in XXV!)

Do the Bills have the confidence to beat the Skins in '91 had they won the year before. That drops Gibbs to 2-2 in Super Bowls..

How many Rings do the Cowboys get with the Bills in their way?

.. as for Sunday, it will probably sound like spilled milk being a Packer fan; but they should do something about the timeout rule regarding kickers. If you want to ice the kicker, ice him. But if a team gets a snap off, the kicks should stand! Missed or made. No redo's if the officals let a play begin. Make sure you get the time out in. If the ball is snapped, tough $%&t!

I still can't get over the roughing the passer call on Clay. What an absolute joke. :roll: :x

The Browns and Vikings have both changed kickers. The Browns got Greg Joseph, and the Vikings got Dan Bailey.

That call was stupid and bad. No one but the refs are sure how to avoid getting called for that. What are defenders supposed to do, defy the laws of physics and stopping the second the QB throws the ball? Don't expect the rule to change back ... ever.

So the Vikings got borderline kicking god Dan Bailey after spending a 5th round pick to draft a kicker? If Bailey kicks like he should (As in, extreme accuracy) Cowboys fans can be even more pissed about his release.
