Why? 54 yard FG. Good punts and KOs.

Along with that, Ryan Allen averaged 52.5 yards per punt and did a really good job in flipping field position several times during the game. If that's only a C+ I wonder what an A+ looks like.

The kicking specialist are playing off the charts football right now. Anything less than an A- for that is criminal, sb1.

Brought down mostly for Edelman's "lateral". Ghost did make the big FG but I've seen better from him on kickoffs.

His kickoffs for the game

Touchback
Taken out from the end zone to the 19 yard line

Saints on average started at the 20 yard line on all of Gostkowski's kicks. Really can't get much better than that other than Sproles taking every kick out and the coverage team stopping him before the 20.

I dunno, I just felt I've seen better from him. Maybe it was perception more than reality. The short one stood out to me for some reason, not sure how that happened since he wasn't kicking into a hard wind....

I agree about the coverage, but I was just talking about the kicks themselves.
