    I'm always nervous when a lot rides on a kick.

      He'll miss a big kick at some point this season...

      But he will make every FG attempt inside the 30 to inflate his stats and make everyone believe he is a good kicker.

        he is 50 of his last 51 regular season kicks inside 40.

          Great... and what happened against Cleveland on Monday night. Choke.

          Lindell's stats are a product of Buffalo getting into the redzone often and not scoring. Makes for an easy chip shot.

            View the 2013 NFL season full splits for Rian Lindell of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on ESPN. Includes full stats per opponent, and home and away games.


            Look at Lindell's splits....

            10/15 from 40-49 yards... that is horrible. 1/3 from 50+ .. bad.

            He pads his stats with FGs between 30-39 which he went 11/11 and from 20-29 he was 7/8.. more padding.

            View the 2023 NFL season full splits for Nick Folk of the Tennessee Titans on ESPN. Includes full stats per opponent, and home and away games.


            Compare that to Nick Folk splits...

            he only had 1 kick between 20-29 yards. 10/11 from 40-49.... 2/2 from 50+

              because of the preseason?

              I've hated on the guy for a while now. I think he's junk. They don't even use him outside of the 40. What kind of kicker can't be used in the 40-49 yard range. Absolute junk. And he misses a good amount of hte time. He might have a high percentage becauseof the chip shots that Mahdi mentioned, but with a low scoring team, every miss is magnified because its one of only a few chances we get. we need a kicker in the 90% range on this current team.

                  He kicks badly in Buffalo. Get someone who kicks well in Buffalo.

                  And I seem to remember Dawson kicking the game winner for Cleveland just moments after Lindell missed the game winner and from a farther distance.

                    Yeah, it's a valid point, because quite frankly, the way this offense looks, we're going to have serious issues with scoring touchdowns again, and the only way we squeak out a couple more victories is with an awesome kicker.

                    Man, this season sucks already.

                      OK, lets trade him to Cleveland for Dawson.

                      I mean, is someone suggesting we grab someone from the local grocery?

                        I think he's in the middle of the league, and I'm not sure there is anyone better out there at the moment.

                        And I think we have far bigger problems.
                        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                          Some dude on my flag football team kicked one from 50 in practice last night.

                            Its pretty obvious that Lindell is no stud kicker, but his long-distance stats are definitely not nearly as good as kickers who kick in domes consistently. We have one of the windiest, coldest stadiums in the NFL and it would be ridiculous to not admit that his affects long-distance kicks and the stats pertaining to them.

                              actually, I changed my mind, I think Lindell will go 4 for 4 in the opener, so we'll only lose 56-12
