    From 0-29 he's 11-11

    From 30-39 he's 6-6

    But the problems have really come from the distance kicks

    from 40-49 Folk is 9-13

    and 50+ he is 3-6

    Sounds like we're gonna need a kicker competition. I like Nick, hope he gets back on track.

    I couldn't be happier with Folks play. He is absolute stud in doing what is best for this franchise. He made clutch kicks the last few years and has made clutch misses keeping us in the top 5 of the upcoming draft. Keep it up Nick.

    But seriously while I am happy you may be right, this could be a problem.

    He's been pretty bad down the stretch these last few games. He was our Offensive MVP for the first half of the season though.

    The real problem with Nick Folk is that he's only made 19-19 XP attempts this year. If he'd gone 35-35 we'd be just fine and his FG kicking would be top 5 (just like it is in the stats).

    Folk has been fine. He's been dealing with a nagging injury half the season which has hurt his range.

    I'm pretty sure he's been hurt this year. It's been talked about a couple times. I'm happy with him

    Ok, ok, he could miss one of those and he'd still be great. :)

    Do some of those blocked FG's count towards those stats?

    The fact we attempted 19 fg 's outside the 40 says something.

    We have like 20 guys on our roster that belong in the NFL and you want me to worry about our kicker?
