boyst Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Lindell is a great kicker and top 5 in the league for field goals inside 35 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Is there really going to be a new thread every time Lindell misses a kick? He was never automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devldog131 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 the Bills kicker missed last week ... so don't get carried away with Lindell's miss Not getting carried away with it, just feel bad for the guy. Carpenter didn't miss from inside 40, though. And, Lindell missed a game winner last week, too. Is there really going to be a new thread every time Lindell misses a kick? He was never automatic Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I believe he holds or held the franchise record for made FG percentage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I believe he holds or held the franchise record for made FG percentage... And that means he's automatic? I never felt like Lindell was a lock to make any kick and seemed to miss the big kicks That percentage doesn't tell the entire story as he was rarely asked to kick anything beyond 45 yards which is a joke in today's NFL Christie was a way better kicker Edited September 22, 2013 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I believe he holds or held the franchise record for made FG percentage I would assume that he does (too lazy to verify), but that's more indicative that he was (that might be the operative word) a good kicker & he was our most recent kicker. Kicking has improved MEASURABLY over the yrs. I think Googalak(sp?) was an all-pro having made like 66% one yr. Norwood, at the time, was among the most accurate in history, making about 80% on his career. These days, if you make <90%, you're in jeopardy of losing your job.
