Field Goal Stats

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I looked at Gano's career stats and he is about 58% from 50+.  I guess that's ok and don't know where it stacks up as a benchmark.  Not sure how to feel about that. 

I do know he is 0-1 from 50 with the game on the line in 2016 and it sucks.

You have that feeling because Gano is just kind of average 

Yeah, but at least he's no...

Out of 28 kickers, 25 had a field goal attempt on Sunday.  There were 51 field goals made out of 63 attempts or approx. 81% of fields goals went through the uprights.

10 out of 25 kickers missed at least one field goal.  2 of those 10 kickers missed multiple field goals and 3 of those 10 also missed a PAT.

Of the kickers that hit 100% on field goals, 2 missed a PAT.  Only 92% of PATs were made (57/62).  I know this is a high percentage, but I still don't expect 5 missed PATs on one Sunday.

So, what does this say about our kicker situation?  Does it put you at ease knowing that so many field goals were missed this weekend?  At the very least, I think it shows that field goals aren't guaranteed and, minus a few elite kickers, every kicker is going to have an off day.

Discuss!

Nicely done!

You saved me some work!!   I too was seeing a lot about missed FGs and PATs on twitter and was wondering about the situation.

I'm pretty sure that PAT % is lower than last year's average (which dropped considerably given the change in distance).

According to PFT, last year's regular season PAT % was 94.2%, down from 99.3%

As for FG%, last year's FG% was 84.7%

You can see each individual kicker's stats here:

http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/field-goals-made/2015/

8 kickers had a FG% > 90%

23 kickers had a FG% >80% and < 90%  [Gano was at 83.3%]

7 kickers were < 80%

And for those thinking we should replace Gano....

Well most were happy with trying to replace Nortman, thinking he's just average or a bit below.... should be easy to find a better punter, right?

Well, I think we did actually achieve that, but with quite a bit of difficulty and at a pretty high cost, which almost seemed a bit desperate... (obviously our F.O. couldn't plan on the fact that Patriots would injure Scifres just as we were hoping he was healthy enough to play...)

Here's another feel-good stat:  Of those 7 kickers below 80%, 3 belonged to TB, ATL, and NO.  TB and ATL also had one more kicker each.  Shayne Graham (ATL) had 13 attempts and hit just about Gano at 84.6% while Connar Barth had 28 attempts at hit 82.1% of the time.

No wonder Tampa drafted a kicker in the 2nd round!
