unfortunately i do not have them, this is more of a request

something that shows his performance when either the game is within 2 scores? or in the 4th Q/2nd half? or both?

if anyone has it i would appreciate it, faint memory tells me the results are NOT going to be good, that my memory lies sometimes

hes an amazing kicker, just when we need it most from what I recall, id like for someone to prove me wrong w/ real evidence

Only big clutch kick I remember him making was vs the Chargers in the 06-07 division playoff game game. Can't remember the details, but it was late.

So 2010 Ravens game winning kick in OT doesn't count?

I don't have the stats covering as much time in the game as you are looking for but these are from someone from Football Outsiders.

Of course it counts; I just said the sd one was the only one I remember.

Not sure exactly how clutch Ghost is but here's what I know (unless I'm forgetting something):

Ghost was perfect in the 2006 postseason. He hit a game winner at SD which was a pretty long FG and had a couple more huge clutch kicks the following week that could have led to a super bowl appearance had our offense converted one first down on the second to last possession.

Ghost hasn't lost any playoff games. The closest you can say is sb42 when BB didn't have faith in him to make a 48 yarder, but that's more on BB IMo.

Before today, Ghost hasn't missed a game-deciding FG to my knowledge.

AV wasn't perfect in the clutch either. Missed a similar FG at KC in 1999 that could've made us 5-0 that year. Missed a gimme in SB38 and had another blocked which may or may not have had poor trajectory (I can't say for sure whether AV does or doesn't deserve some blame for that). Missed a big and very makeable FG in 2005 divisional round at mile high that could've cut that game to a one score lead, a huge miss at the time. Now before people jump at me, I'm not saying AV isn't better or anything like that, Ghost hasn't made the kicks he's made but at the same time he hasn't been given the chance to. But AV was not infallible as no kicker/player was. Ghost still has a chance to become a great kicker for us and until he fails consistently and in bigger games than week 2 against an NFC opponent I'm going to give him that chance.

Ravens 2010 in OT, for one.

This isn't on Gostkowski..

Excellent post. Adam's legacy was made after his snow bowl kick to tie the game against the Raiders and send it to overtime, and was cemented after he made the kick in SB36 to win the game. But there wasn't so much pressure on him that time because the game was tied. In SB38, as you have stated, he made 1 of 3 attempts and yet because he made the game winning kick (again, in a tie game) and because of the history of 2 SB game winning kicks in 3 years, some wanted to name him game MVP. (Brady broke some SB passing records in that game, IIRC.) So a lot of his reputation comes down to opportunity and luck. Excellent post.

I have no idea how may of these would be considered clutch, however, ESPN Boston posted this about Ghost. "incidentally, he had made his previous 37 fourth-quarter field goal attempts".
