It still amuses me that all the ravens fans act like that FG would have one the game, it would have simply lead to overtime, I’ll take Brady over Flacco in overtime

yes because it takes a classy organization like the Ravens to operate like this…

lead the kicker on, give him the impression he has an honest chance to recover from a crushing missed FG, ignoring the fact if their WR’s could simply hold onto the ball, that FG wouldn’t have even came into play, and the fact the coaching staff failed to call a TIME OUT, instead rushing him out there…

And then cutting him on the first round of cuts.

Frankly, it’s a bold and dangerous move. Putting all your eggs in a rookie FG kickers basket, especially when the division might come down to the Ravens/Steelers matchups, not to mention many of the other games the Ravens play, they may end up really regretting this move.

FG kicking isn’t the Ravens problem. Choking every single time they are a step from the Super Bowl is.

Or I suppose here come the “the refs screwed us over” comments.

oh, and field goal % is highly variable from year to year, but cundiff was great on kickoffs, which is a repeatable skill

kickers don’t matter unless your team’s sucks, but harbaugh is the guy who screwed up that kick in new england. should’ve called time out so the kick team didn’t have to rush onto the field

Can’t believe they cut last years team MVP.

Hopefully cutting Cundiff will make Harbaugh’s nightmares go away. It’s obvious that shank is still in his head.

if it were up to Raven fans they wouldn’t have cut Billy Cundiff at this time…..they would have cut his throat last January

expect Kicker Olindo Mare to join him in Free agents soon Panthers really like Justin Medlock

Time will tell, but I think that loss in the AFC Championship Game could very well go down as the most crushing loss in NFL history. If the Ravens bounce back and win a Super Bowl or two it will be forgotten, but if they don’t, that game will be infamous.

Steelers should jump on this guy to take DeCastros’ place.

Wait until he misses one against the Steelers!!! Then we’ll see what the baltimore ‘fans” have to say then…

I’m amazed Ray Lewis didn’t do this in the stadium parking lot 6 months ago.

So if the niners sign him, does that mean they lose it in the divisional playoff game this year. Ill start making bets

Not shocked. I’m sure Billy is not shocked either. Tucker out kicked him. Tucker is younger, cheaper and better. No brainer. Good luck Billy.

It’s not you Billy, it’s Tucker. He is more accurate, younger, cheaper and hasn’t blown an AFCC for us.

This kid will be a long term fix.

Cundiff is only 32 years old? It seems like he’s been around forever.

Honestly, who would you rather have kicking a game winning field goal in the playoffs? A veteran kicker who missed one last year, or a rookie who’s yet to even sniff a regular season game?
————————————————–

The answer is THIS rookie, plain and simple. He played at a big school, and will not have the rookie mentality after playing a full season. Would you want to trot Scott Norwood out there to “redeem” himself? No way. Too much pressure on the guy to make up for it, than a guy that is trying to pave the way to be a great kicker.

Not really a shock to Ravens fans, not only because of the missed field goal but then because of his latest comments about how “his services would be wanted elsewhere”. Time to test the waters there Bill
