    The guy is over 90% 5 of his last 6 seasons lol He had an uncharacteristically awful 2022 which accounted for the bulk of misses you cite. Frankly he is lucky they didn't dispose of him that year. Being 36/44 from 50+ will do that. Really he has spent the bulk of his career over 90 which is remarkable, and had 2 bad seasons bog things down. Morten Andersen is in the HOF with a career under 80% and not a single season at 90%. If you go to the generation after him, everybody is better. If you skip to this one, guys like Vinatieri and Vanderjagt would likely still be making it, but there's like 10 guys like that at any moment now. There are 12 guys over 90% this season, that's removing 3 players with 3 or fewer kicks. Anders career 82 would rank 25th in the league right now. I don't think the issue with Anders is people having unrealistic expectations. He isn't good.

    "Through five weeks this season, NFL kickers are attempting and making more field goals than ever, as well as hitting them at a record 86% accuracy. From 39 yards or fewer, kickers are 145 for 148 (98%), which would be the highest mark ever. Kickers are on pace to make 251 field goals from 50-plus yards this season, which would shatter the record of 158 set just last year. In fact, in 2023, there were only 230 attempts from that distance. NFL teams are sailing 76% of their 50-plus yard tries through the uprights. That number has not been higher than 69% during any prior regular season." Now, this will probably taper off with bad weather, but I don't think there's a defense of Anders. He's just not reliable. He has a very talented leg so he might find something, but when he missed another chip shot in preseason, they had enough. 145/148 is insane. You HAVE to be make those kicks to stay employed in the NFL these days.

    When people say a statistic is a lie, this is one of those lies. This essentially means he has a higher career average than Mason Crosby. Nobody else has kicked once since 2005 save for one season of Dave Rayner. The standard for kickers is MUCH higher than it was in 2005. The leaderboard for kickers in the 90s has you unemployed today. 82% isn't great, but you could live with it if the misses were all difficult kicks. That wasn't the problem with Anders. He couldn't make gimmies. You need to be damn near 100% from inside 45 yards these days. You get to miss one kick like that a year. Two of them and they are looking at the waiver wire. Three and you are done.

    I think this sums it up nicely: "But who are we kidding: Four seasons removed from their championship campaign, the Bucks are spinning their tires, inching as close to the NBA's middle as they are title contention, burning the rest of Antetokounmpo's prime, and there will be a(nother) point when he can no longer stand the status quo." Will they win games? Sure. Are they a real contender? I would like to believe they are, but I just see too much age.
  5. OldSchoolSnapper
    This is the least excited I've been about the Bucks probably since like 2015. I feel that we have entered purgatory.
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    I didn't see it but it's such a disappointment. Why they felt the need to do something so drastic with such a good story they had going, IDK. Just sucks.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    That's fair, but in SF's case where else do they get better? I think they probably believe the QB is the best incremental improvement they could make. I think they will keep trying to hit on "the guy." Given their history of dumping guys that have won a lot of games, that's just what I believe will happen. I don't think it'll be today or tomorrow but I don't think he's their starter for the next 10 years.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    He's much better than Jimmy but he's not a top QB. I view him as more the Kirk Cousins echelon. I think he benefitted a lot from not only the team he's on, but how unknown he was. Actually gives me the same vibe as Kyler Murray in that I kept hearing how amazing he was but every time I actually watch him, he is just "meh" on the eye test. The best thing they could do as a Packers fan, IMO, is lock him up long term. I don't see him being the guy.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    The 49ers have shown a trend of getting everyone to believe a QB is better than he is, failing to get over the hump, then starting over at the position. The same thing is going to happen with Purdy. They know he isn't that great. His stats are his stats, but he threw the Packers like 4 interception-caliber balls in the divisional and he just doesn't pass the eye test. He's not that good. He's OK. They will be drafting a QB soon or going for a vet that has to be moved like Rodgers a few years ago.

    Unpopular opinion: if the Brewers are out, I enjoy watching classic juggernauts go at it in the WS. I'd much rather watch this series than Tigers vs Braves

    People do remember that Favre showed a pulse after GB though and nearly got back to the Super Bowl. Of course they remember why he didn't, but he did prove that he was still really good after GB. I think I'm fine with it. Rodgers doesn't have anything left to prove. It was clear a few years ago that his legacy was going to be one of the top 5 QBs to ever play, but also marked by a lot of "what if." I don't have an issue with the guy but when you put yourself into the spotlight like he does, people will have polarizing opinions of you. All will be forgotten when he's getting his name on the ring of honor in a few years at halftime of a game Love is playing. Peak Rodgers was truly something else though. Those MVP seasons and parts of a few others, the guy was just automatic.

    It's time for Aaron to call it.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think he meant this iteration isn't elite, which they don't seem to be but I also didn't think at least one of their championship teams was very good in the middle of that season. Maybe it was last year? I don't remember. Mahomes is the GOAT in my book though. He truly elevates everyone and they always have a chance with him. He has pulled so many rabbits out of his hat in huge games. Yes Brady has all those rings but you'll never get me to say he's better than Mahomes.

    The 49ers stink and Purdy sucks and it's great.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    Two clean kicks!!
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    I want to point out a key moment in that drive and it was the play where they ran a ton of time off and then heaved an incomplete pass down the middle. It was really a genius move. HOU didn't want to bail them out and stop the clock, which is understandable, and then it's a call that either gets a touchdown or goes incomplete, stops the clock with just enough time to run one more play. You either score or essentially take so much time off that HOU can't get the ball back. That was very well played.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'll officially be concerned if this ends on an interception.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    Just let them score. Does anyone believe we will hit a game winning FG anyway.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    Loudmouth Alexander toasted on the biggest play of the game.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    The defense has been stellar overall today, they have put up a donut in the 2nd half and were spotted some terrible situations in the first. Which usually means they are destined to be sliced up on this drive and have us go down with about 3 minutes left.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    Goff is 20/21 today.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I mean, lol. He has 3 game winning drives in the 4th quarter in like what, 20 starts?
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm ok if 60 of those yards are on the ground
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Is Jaire even capable of just going back to a huddle
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    One of the reasons I am optimistic about the Packers. They just can't seem to get multiple faces on the same page at the same time. They have looked very good at times but haven't appeared to be really in a rhythm until last weekend.
