is it just me or everytime olindo mare kicks a field goal i assume well probably miss it. its ridiculous, even 35 and 25 yard field goals the guy is missing, at crucial times. its too bad we dont still have spielman so he could trade our first round pick for next year and ronie brown and jason taylor for the chargers kicker. jk

Yeah he is missing alot of kicks but until he misses one that will win the game like the Bucs & Giants kickers did I am happy with him. He is a power kicker on kick offs and I think he has only missed 4 this year but I might (probally am) wrong. And oh yeah I agree on trading everyone for a kicker :D
 
Mare's improved and is back to his regular form for now. He made some key FG's during the Panthers game though.

it's not just you, there are a handful of completely irrational people on here who jump on Mare's jock every time he misses a kick -- as if the sky is falling... here's a newsflash: Kickers don't go 100%... even Anderson missed for Minnesota in 98... Mare is blasting kickoffs and FGs this year quite nicely...

you people who insist Mare consistently misses big kicks don't appear to have a clue... If you'd like to enjoy the kicking nightmares of teams like Dallas, then go ahead... let's all lobby to cut one of the most consistent kickers the past 8 seasons and sign some bum soccer player each week while we lose 3-4 extra games per year ... kicking is a delicate matter, people... you find one who wins you games, you stick with him... hello?... instead of harping on the 2-3 key kicks he's missed that directly led to losses, let's TRY and remember the 2 dozen OTHER games he WON for us with our anemic offense the past 8 years... if that's possible for some of you NFL nazis...
 
He is 14 of 18. It's amazing, some of you guys act like he is 7 of 18. Yes, he has missed 2 very makable field goals resently, but not long ago people were talking about how great he was doing.
Let's also not forget that Mare either leads the league or is very very near the top in touchbacks, which is a huge help to the defense.

Would you rather have Jay Feely? Mare is doing fine, I agree he misses some"easy kicks". If it wasn't for the touchbacks he may have been replaced. But he's still a phin, so he's my favorite kicker

I disagree, Mare has slipped since that wheelchair guy left. Compare mare to kickers around the league and he doesnt even make it into the top ten. His kickoffs are the only thing that has saved his overpaid ***.

Its not completely irrational to expect your kicker to make 25-30 yarders. Yesterdays kick showed me he has lost the zip in his accuracy. His salary does not dictate how good he should be. Vinatari doesnt miss at all, even in crappy weather and on the dirt of our own beloved infield.

Check stats before you throw things out there. Mr. Adam "doesn't miss at all" Vinateri is 14 for 18 on the year.And he has missed an extra point. Mare is 15 for 19 and had made all extra points!. I guess Mare REALLY never misses then!
http://www.nfl.com/stats/leaders/AFC/FG/2005/regular

Look through those numbers. Most guys have missed 4 FG's or so. 13 of 16 AFC kickers have missed 4 or more FG's
9 of 16 NFC kickers(starting) have missed 4 or more. Give Mare a bit of a break at least!!

Good thing I read the entire thread; I was just about to post the same thing. I especially love the Vinateri stats. I really get pretty fed up with the extra hype that Vinateri, Brady, Bruschi, etc receive due to the Pats' success.
 
id rather have Neil Rackers. Hopefully in about 2 years, we can draft that guy from University of Virginia....their kicker is really gooooooood

MAre is not MR clutch anymore

Mare is still one of the best. He's 100% from 40 yards out; his longest this year being 53 yds. He also has not missed a PAT yet. Plus two of his misses were Denney's fault
