did i just read that sturgis missed another one?

[Zounds]

Sturgis was nailing kicks from the logo at half time. His miss in the game was a very close one.

People need to understand that in warp-ups or practice a kicker can kick a straight line drive FG. But during a game they have to put a lot more arc on the ball to get it over the defenders, meaning they will get less distance.

There is nothing shamefull about missing a 56 yard FG unless you are Scott Norwood kicking in a Super Bowl.

When you are struggling mentally and physically and the first game is in 10 days, missing a FG from that distance takes on a different meaning.

He's struggling physically because of a groin injury. Its likely even more difficult to make that kick considering the nature of his injury.

And struggling mentally? How was Sturgis struggling mentally last night?

I can't stop laughing. South Park

Sturgis has been replaced...

 

[Mike13]

We should sign Feeley.

ok I just found out it was a 56 yarder. so I overreacted. my apologies. I just want a consistent kicker

so maybe next time you check that first, before opening this garbage

Is ANYONE really comfortable with Sturgis going into the season?

Hell no.. 56 yarder or not, he's picked up where he left off. He's just a terrible kicker. Hickey should have / needs to sign a vet

Sturgis better stay healthy...this gimp hurts his groin every damn week. Stretch it out!!!
