He'll never be confused with Justin Tucker that's all.

How is this on sanders? Cmon man.
Hahahaha, look, kicker, a handsomely paid one I might add, needs to make pressure kicks.
He supposed to be one of the best, we are on our 3 QB fighting late in the game, he HAS to make that kick.
Do you think Tucker or any of the other top kickers in The NFL miss that kick, let me help you, the answer is no.
It is bigger than you guys think, that kick changes the whole game moving forward.
Up 20-19, into the forth with momentum, instead he misses, and they get ball at midfield, changed the outcome of the game.
Not good, he hasn’t been for 2 years, think he has to go….

we make that kick and I think we win
For the best kickers in the league, they are made regularly these days bud
Yes, the point is he’s an issue, he will need be replaced soon, I hope I’m wrong and he makes a number of meaningful kicks this year but it seems to me something has happened to his confidence dating back to last year and he is finished….hope I’m wrong
It was a big miss. 54 yarders are made now w like 70% or so accuracy. Point is he needed to come through and that miss sucked all our momentum away.

They aren't however most nfl kickers will be expecting to make them 75% of the time. I have no idea what Sanders success rate is past 50 yards but I would wager it is well below 50%.

Absolutely we take the lead if he makes that kick and we don't give the Jets a short field. It's a completely different game if it goes over.

Knew he was gonna miss that one as soon as the pulled the fg unit onto the field . Kickers are weird and we need to replace ours, he can’t play

The call was even sillier. No reason to take that risk at that stage in the game.
That’s a bad coaching decision.

If Sanders wasn't getting paid I wouldn't be too upset. When he got paid after making all pro, my expectations went up for him. I expect Sanders to make a 54 yard FG.
