Fans of both teams should worried if it comes down to our kickers Monday night... SF's kicker has been worse than Meyers believe it or not...

Myers has missed the most PAT attempts of any kicker in history. He’s been so bad, he’s missed 2 this year and it’s still looking like his best PAT season.

Right now, he’s been worse than Blair Walsh and Janikowski, and the evidence is pointing to last season bring a fluke.

Bright side of things, dude showed last year he could get hot, so he could finish the last 7 games we’ll and be something like 25/30 FG and 50/52 PAT. Time will tell, but for Myers and the Seahawks I hope he turns it around.

He misses extra points too.... he's bottom 10 out of all kickers with 2 misses on 28 tries, lol just sayin'.

So that doesn't discredit what i said. They need to start scoring TD! Who cares if the sub par kicker misses the XP thats still 6 points. What would the Hawks record be if 50% of Myers kicks made/missed doesn't matter were turned into 6 points? 8-1? 9-0?

He has attempted 17 so what would +8 to 9 TD look like? hmm. Juicy

I was listening to Clayton today and he said that struggling, starting Kickers in the league that began the season and were replaced with a FA, the FA's are 25 of 39 FG attempts... 64% attempted kicks were made... Point is, there is no one on the streets that will do better...

Gotcha... so we have scored the 2nd most TDs in the league only behind the Patriots, and your answer is: "JUST SCORE MORE TDS!" So at this point I guess we just release Myers, don't have a kicker, and go for a 2 point conversion every single time.

That 2013 Broncos record of 76!? HA... we'll blow past that in no time.

Or... we get a kicker that is fuckin' reliable for a change so we can realistically win games that are determined by an extra point or field goal (which we've routinely blown over the last few years).

from one extreme to another lol come on shark. I am saying this team has settle way to much. Just like the Missed FG that sent the Hawks to OT last week. They went soft when they got into fieldgoal range! Go out there and punch these teams in the face. Are you not tired of 1 and 2 point victories against 0 to 2 or 3 win teams? Yeah i thought so and so are many of us. Lets get our redzone TD % back up over 70%. With Wilson, Lockett, DK and Carson lets start punching teams in the mouth and not settling. Our Defense is not even close to good enough to "settle". Lets not "sit" on halftime leads hoping the defense can "stop" them. Be aggressive and attack! That doesn't mean go for it on 4th down that means DON'T settle for good enough. Case in point that over time drive last week was aggressive.

We are stuck with Myers this season so make him not matter as much.

The Pats kicker has missed WAY more PAT's than Myers and he also has missed 4 FG ( Myers has 5 ). They ( Patriots ) just make it so his kicks don't matter all that much.

How about we start making More TD and not have to worry about him making a Kick? or the Defense starts to play like a NFL defense? Sucks that we have a high school defense out there.
what a novel idea :lol:

So what kind of (regular) season did Myers end up having? It was his median year in terms of overall FG% and a tick below his career avg. It seemed like he struggled with XPs, but 90.9% tied his career best which was last year when he made the Pro Bowl. His weakest area in my opinion was the 40-49 range, where he missed nearly as many (3) his year as he had in all other years combined (4). I suppose the book won't be closed on it until the playoffs are over, but at this point I think I label his season "not bad" but definitely hoping we see something better next year.

Blankenship is no walk in the park. He has missed some clutch kicks for Georgia.

A very good post. I think as fans, some of us go knee jerk week by week. This team has far bigger problems......

I think he was pretty consistent with his career numbers and we are just seeing normal variance.

Myers was 57-61 on all kicks 39 yards or shorter including XP. Or 93.4% i will take those numbers now he needs to work on those 40+ yard kicks.

Yeah, probably so. If you also factor in a typical miss or 2 in the north end of C-link over the course of 8 games, the performance becomes more acceptable as well.
