Big Turk Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Dude has leg to spare and he likes pressure kicks apparently...likely win the Browns game yesterday with him... And McD doesn't need to go for it on 4th and 4 instead of kicking a 54 yard FG earlier either... Edited November 12, 2019 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Ha I knew this thread was coming great kick under pressure tonite in San Francisco. Very happy for the kid. Haushka had a bad game but it’s 20-20 hindsite at this point. I’m not bailing on haushka personally but it’s definitely debatable who they should have kept 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have 0 confidence in Haushka right now, I expect him to miss every kick at this point. Just now, Freddie's Dead said: NO. Hauschka had a bad day yesterday. The trend is disturbing, but I'm still with HauschMoney. He’s got the yips, he’s done man. I think he is sitting around 60% dating back to week 14 last year.

If your kicker forces you to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking 53 yard FGs because you don't think he has the leg for it, you are putting yourself at a severe disadvantage in this league to every other team whose kickers have no issues..doubly when your team has a hard time scoring points to begin with and you need every scoring chance you can get...

london_bills Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) No not at all. Kickers miss kicks, Hauschka has been decent. The pressure is on though if he misses again as they've given him a vote of confidence. Probably audition kickers if he has a bad game. Having said that Lee Smith hasn't been cut yet.

To me, Dustin Hopkins is the one that got away. Hopkins most comparable kicker for his career is Cody Parkey...that's not so great. Hopkins, like most kickers have up and down years. With so few kicks, a single miss can knock quite a few percentage points off, and since shorter kicks are easier to make it doesn't always tell the whole story either... Hopkins also is below 50%(9 for 19) in his career on 50+ yard FGs which is not very good for this era...think I'd pass on him.

muppy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Yeah well if anything the game tonight illustrates how judging a kicker on one games performance isn’t a great idea.
