NFL 2021: Divisional Round / Week Twenty Questions

The worst are typically around 75%, the best 90-95%. For 40 attempts (opportunities equalized natch for the sake of comparison) that’s about 6-8 extra FGs, 18-24 points (plus XPs), which are not insignificant, but not anywhere close to 50.

This year in the regular season, there were just 3 kickers that had 40 or more attempts (40, 43, 48).

Robbie Gould, for instance, was 20-23 during the regular season. Harrison Butker was 25-28. The median number of attempts appears to be about 32 or 33.

There were 10 kickers at 90% or better. And, yes, the worst of the regular kickers were around 75%. The most points scored by a kicker on field goals was 126, by Dustin Hopkins.

4 kickers scored more than 150 points, led by Daniel Carlson, with 163.

This just got entertaining. Two hands, young Akers! Two hands on the ball!

Apropos of nothing but I really like having 2 Sunday “late” games. I’m never ready to sit down for playoff football at noon.

4th and like 2 feet. Do they go with the QB sneak and spike, or run a play? They’ll have about 30 seconds left if they make it.

Left a lot of time on the clock.

Stafford doesn’t have any experience with something like this.

The Legend of Matthew Stafford has to start somewhere. :smile:

Defense totally gagged on that. Todd Bowles HC resumes all going in the trash.

My god what a finish. It reminds me of Brady’s finish in the first Super Bowl.

Oh dammit shut up Cris Collinsworth. :joy:

I’m sitting in my living room alone, clapping. Good game.

Akers avoids being the goat, just barely.

No they aren’t.

If you’re not double covering Kupp on the most important play of the game you’re a total idiot.

Fun game. Bucs deserve to lose for not going for 2 after their second-last TD :slight_smile: .

Guess it starts now

Now let’s have the Bills beat the Chiefs (by a field goal? I mean, probably). Then we’ll have four teams I wouldn’t mind seeing win. (Except I don’t root for Los Angeles teams on general principle).

That was a hell of a throw, I’ll give him that. Too bad he wasted all those years in Detroit.

He’s an idiot with a Superbowl ring.

I mean I get it you’re doing the whole sports radio overreact to one play hot take thing, but every HC has a play in their past they’ve called that failed spectacularly.

This one should be good, too.
