No, but I watched the kicker for the Ravens yesterday set a NFL record as time expired to win the game. For some reason a fan of that team is taking the celebration of this to poo poo on the kicker and all other kickers for not living up to some impossible standard.

Also the delay wasn’t missed. Refs don’t throw the flag the moment it hits zero. The official watching the playclock waits til it hits zero, then looks to the ball, and if it isn’t snapped within a second or so of that glance, they get the flag.

Well theres usually a moment like a half second but this was like two full seconds. So it was a missed call.

This also happened in our favor way back in 2008 season in the playoff game at tennessee on a late drive. You'd think they would have fixed this process by now. Have a buzzer like in the NBA

It’s also only a couple of seconds if the gameclock on TV was correct. I forgot to mention that the internet bitching about delay hinges on that.

I didn't realize Morten Andersen did make the Hall of Fame. Not deserved imo. But I guess kickers were way worse back then.

when they inducted morten andersen into hof, they were actually trying to select ken anderson but everyone made a mistake. people were saying "let's go with short ken anderson" over the poor qualify phone lines at the time back in 2017. but anyway, Justin Kicker

His career FG% was like around 80. And he played real long. Big whoop. Kickers sucked back then. Tucker should be in if he is and so should a lot of other guys. But Tucker is the only one close to deserving.

If for some unforeseeable reason Justin Tucker hit the open market, how much would he make? I sort of think some kicker snakebit franchise, the Vikings per se, might throw 10 million a year at him.

Phil Dawson, over a decade, had the most points scored on the Browns. I'm sure that HOF worthy. Tucker is HOF worthy.

That would definitely be the case for any kicker who played for a team 10 years. It would be shocking if it wasn't

This got me wondering if the all-time scoring title is in Tucker's reach, so I looked up his stats and it very much is a possibility.

He's averaging 135.8 points over his first 9 years. Morten Andersen only scored over 120 three times in his career. He's got 5 seasons of 140+ points, something Vinatieri only did once.

It's kind of a dumb stat because it relies on so many external variables, but it seems like it's just a matter of if he goes 20+ years and if he doesn't fall off too much when he gets older.

Maybe we should retroactively throw out old bums from the Hall of Fame based on Madden-ratings. Stop letting grandpa coast on being better than everyone*.
