I don’t believe an NFL kicker would intentionally miss. Their next job/contract relies on minute differences in percentage between them and their peers.
Just watching him now with his three layers of winter coat and red nose, I couldn’t be more certain that the Fins are never going to be a January team under his leadership.
Whatever. Not having to take on the game’s best pure passer in the first round is a good thing. Nobody questions the SB winner for not taking the hardest road.
It is a great result. They have a good squad but we’re talking about a rookie going on the road to hostile Buffalo in January for a playoff game. It’s 10 times better than facing Burrow.
The Pats talked Mayo up like he was the new face of the franchise and gave him one 4-13 season with possibly the worst roster in the NFL, the definition of an empty pantry. That is dysfunction right there.
The draft is enough of a crap shoot that these narratives get way too much attention. Maybe the Pats lose this #1 pick and draft a hall of famer in the first round instead of trading down. Who knows?
