Stephen Gostkowski On IR

[Deus Irae]

When has Gostkowski ever made a big time late clutch kick?

Well, he kicked the game winner in overtime against the Ravens. Perhaps your memory is failing you...

@ considering a 35 yard FG a "big time clutch kick".

If that is seriously the most impressive late-game clutch kick you can think of for him, you're proving me point....

 

[The Coon]

The husker fan in me says that we should draft Alex Henery next year. I think hes better than the Ghost right now. And he can punt too so if something god forbid happens to mesko we have a guy that can step right in.

 

[FalconHeavy]

Torn Quad !! ouch

how and where did this happen

Yes, I consider a game winning kick, from a legitimate distance, in overtime, to be a big-time clutch kick. Only a fool wouldn't.

And it's not like had tons of chances in, say, 2007 to kick game-winners (or, for that matter, 2008 or 2009).

But IIRC he's made something like 30+ consecutive kicks in the fourth quarter/OT.

Cool dude, any time a kicker makes a FG in overtime it's now automatically a "big time clutch kick" regardless of distance or conditions. Good to know.

Call me when a 35 yard kick is just an extra point, by rule. Until then, you're just talking out of your ass on this.

Now anything that isn't an extra point in overtime is clutch? Brilliant!

When has he missed a big time late clutch kick?

What does that have to do with him never making one? My response was to someone saying we'd miss him in the playoffs for late clutch kicks, which he has never made.

Ok, you're just trolling. My mistake. I was initially under the impression that you actually thought you had a point.

The ol "I disagree with you, so you're trolling" response. Classic.

If you really think a 35 yard regular season overtime field goal at home in fine conditions is a "big time clutch" kick then the best of luck to you.

It's not even about clutch kicks, it's just field goal kicks in general. Graham is the guy who shanked multiple sub-35 yard field goals in one playoff game, the same kind that you claim are gimmes.

It's not because you disagree, it's because you're not admitting an obvious answer to your query. If that's because you don't understand what the word "clutch" refers to, I retract the trolling comment and suggest that you consult a dictionary.

Perfect conditions, a quiet home crowd and the kicker lines up for a 13 yard field goal here in overtime...

...and it's good, right through the uprights! The Patriots win!

Deus: Wow! What a big time clutch kick! CLUTCH!

 

[JackBauer]

A 35 yard field goal isn't exactly a chip shot.

You probably should find a new sport to watch, anyway, if you didn't realize that it's physically impossible to kick a 13 yard field goal in the NFL.

Ok, so it's your poor grasp of the English language. At least we've got it figured out now. Here you go:

13.
Sports . an extremely important or crucial moment of a game: He was famous for his coolness in pitching in the clutch.
14.
any critical position or situation; emergency: She kept complete control in the clutch.

It's impossible to kick a 13 yard FG unless you somehow decide to forfeit the touchdown you just scored and snap the field goal attempt from 4 yards into the endzone.

Of course, I suppose you COULD attempt to position the holder only 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage, but I'm guessing you'll just end up kicking the ball straight into the center's a**.

I'm sorry, I got so wrapped up in hypotheticals that I forgot what your point was...

Time to stop responding as he has beclowned himself, again
