That week 3 kick was good. Hate on the replacement refs all you want and all the botched calls, but I’m pretty sure ANYONE can look up from the end zone and make the correct call on a kick. They had the best view, certainly better than any of us did on our couches.

Also listen to the crowd, no hushed silence, no gasps, all cheers from the moment the ball was in the air. If a game winning kick was missed don’t you think that would take the life out of the home crowd?

“Funny how Ravens fans keep insisting that the “Game winning” FG in the first Pats/Ravens game actually went through. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Funny how Patriots fans watching the kick on TV think the refs, replacement or not, who were standing directly underneath the goal posts live in the game made the wrong call.

the replacement refs were more efficient than the regular season refs, the kick was good

Some great rookie kickers this season. We’ll probably see a trend toward more teams spending draft choices on kickers and going with them as rookies. Makes you wonder why guys like Mason Crosby still have a job.

I’ve got a feeling that the Sundays game is not going to come down to a field goal. let alone one that might or might not have gone over the pole. Pats by 10+.

Still not convinced that the game winner vs the Patriots earlier this year actually went through. The video was inconclusive at best and the only person with the view to say for sure was a replacement ref.

Funny how Ravens fans keep insisting that the “Game winning” FG in the first Pats/Ravens game actually went through.

That being said, Tucker has had a great year, and the Raven fans have every reason to be excited about him.

How about that week 2 kick that was wide right(barely) to everyone except Baltimore fans?

He’s a great kicker. Oh by the way he kicked the game winner vs. New England earlier this year also.

Tucker is good.

But no reason to pile on Cundiff, especially when it was Harbs’ mistake not calling a timeout to let his kicker get settled in the AFCCG.

I was never so confident to see a kicker run onto the field to kick a game-winner than Justin Tucker. The last time Baltimore had a rookie kicker, he kicked the game winner in Super Bowl V.

Kickers don’t get much respect, but there has to be something to be said about a team playing with confidence, knowing that their guy will drain the winner, no matter the circumstances. Tucker and Blair Walsh look like they will be making pro bowls for quite some time.
