Loved Gary when he was with the Steelers. Wish we could have gotten his kid. Would like to have a more reliable kicker, and if he’s half as good as his dad …

If he’s half as good as his dad, does that mean he would miss wide left by a foot instead of six inches?

For some reason, I’m not being allowed to answer this, but Gary was sure-footed with the Steelers so I could care less about that six inches. And as others have noted, that miss wasn’t the sole story of that game.

Ha. Nice metaphor.

Never mind the Vikes defense went soft in the second half, and the offense was non-existent. But youre right, Gary was the sole reason for the loss. Hope the rest of your Madden seasons go well in your moms’ basements.

I would be cool to see his son follow in his footsteps…without an unfortunate miss in a big game, of course.

It would have meant certain victory.

The guy really was a great kicker, but everyone only remembers him for one miss. It wasn’t even a miss that directly led to them losing the game, either.
