New Kicker?
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2020 5:47 pmWe are paying JM a boatload to kick FG's, and he is missing. Is it time to get a new kicker?

True. It was around 20 degrees at game time. As any baseball player or golfer can tell you, the colder it is, the denser the air and the less the ball travels. It was a 50/50..or less...proposition for any kicker.
