Any of which would have tied the game, any two woulf have won the game. Saying this kickers name is banned in here yet Jan Stenerud's isn't. December 25, 1971 3 missed FGs - 29, 32 and 42 (blocked). The 32 yarder at the end of regulation would have beaten the Dolphins who ended up representing the AFC in the SB. Amazing who we elect to damn and others who get free rides. In fairness to Stenerud though he made a lot of big kicks before that nightmare night in a hall of fame career. The guy from the 1996 debacle was leaking water down the stretch in a very short career. He missed three extra points that last month and should have been replaced before that game in my opinion.

One time I violently disagree with you 1963. Remember Stenerud IS IN the HoF. That's kinda erases some things. Jan was also around way before most here were alive. Recent memory , sins or sucesses, seem to have more value with these young pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first, a 48-yarder, was the longest field goal in a Super Bowl for 24 years, & In 1994, he was selected to the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team. I'd say those are enough reasons Not the point, he was the goat of the game that could have put the Chiefs into back-to-back SBs. I have always been a fan of Stenerud and hate lumping him in with the other kicker but missed FGs that lose games are what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it doesn't change the fact that he missed two easily made FGs that would have won the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but let's be fair. We are talking missing important FGs in the playoffs. Alex Smith did all he could against the Giants in the playoffs. His returner muffed two kicks which gave the Giants the win. Who gets blamed for not going to the SB, Smith or obscured kick returner. Lifes not fair.

Steneruds miss in 1971 at end of regulation Christmas was still the worst ever. Nothing ever more deflating. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt played great for KC but his off field fuck up washed all the good away. I know it's extreme but a lot of good can be washed away with a single action.

Again though Stenerud had already gone 3 for 3 and accounted for almost half our points in the biggest win this franchise has ever had. That bought him a pretty big pass that Elliott had never come close to earning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 A guy who can kick like Butker has last year up until the last third of this season has developed some minor glitch that amounts to a millimeter in where his foot ends up. Those things happen to kickers and then get fixed. It would be a big mistake to get rid of a guy who has been spectacular, not only in his first year and a half in the league, but also in college. We literally stole the guy off the Panther's practice squad. They were beside themselves when they left him unprotected for a moment and he was grabbed. It was a coup by Veach. Panicking about him right now would be like panicking about any 23 year old who has veered off his mechanics a hair for the last month. Its crazy. 23 year olds with his kicking talent come along once every several years, and we are simply lucky. Kicking is a different animal and very lonely and exposed. Consistency develops with adulthood. Then it lasts for 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 He has tremendous strength but lost a bit of accuracy. Power is still there so it's up to the coaches to fix. Tough to give up on a guy with such a range so I think he's safe for this year, some competition in camp is obviously needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
