True, Tomlinson has the record but, as it was pointed out, that record was set in a 16-game season; Hornung set the previous record in a 12-game season. Obviously, Hornung’s record is more impressive.

To be a true breaking of Hornung’s record, Tynes would have to do it in 12 games because that’s the number of games in which Hornung played when he set the record. Kind of like Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record being a bit watered down because he took 16 games while O.J. Simpson is the only one to rush for 2000 yards in a 14-game season. Let’s see Tynes (or anyone else, for that matter) score 177 points in 12 games. Probably will never be done. Hornung’s record is probably one of those “unbreakable” ones. Another would be Ernie Nevers’ record of scoring 40 points in a single game.

Really a combination of Giants offense struggling in that area, questionable play calling, and better play by the oppositions defense. As a Giants fan I sure as hell hope he doesn’t break it, as that means less td’s and more field goals. Looking at certain opponents that won’t slide.

And to think, this guy was let go from the Chiefs in favor of 3rd round pick Justin (cut after 3 NFL games) Medlock, thanks Herm..

Says alot about your red zone offense when the kicker is on pace to break the single season points record

Translation: “I think I could, but unfortunately we’re done playing Dallas for the season, and we only have one more game against Andy Reid’s defense.”

Giants are also one of the highest scoring offenses in the league, so there’s that too.

If we keep settling for FGs when we are kicking ourselves in the foot and not getting TDs (read, the defenses AREN’T stopping us), then he will.

Also, he is on pace to tie his PAT points from last year. So yes, while the increase in field goals from the 20-29 yard range does point to stalling in the red zone, combining these numbers actually show how the Gianta have been able to drive down the field more consistently than last year. They just need to punch it in more!

As a giants fan the only positive is my fantasy kicker is beasting but I hope that don’t continue or we may be fighting for a wild card instead of a home playoff game

So he’s saying the Giants will blow their 6-2 record and miss the playoffs. So true…

This is symptomatic of a poor redzone offense
