I've seen a bunch of praise for KC as if he is the second coming of Joe Willie. Yesterday was an average day at best for a young QB. Yet the game was won on the foot of Nuge... why the double standard around here? Where are the buttmunches who declared him a busted draft pick? The guy was 4/4 yesterday. Don't get me started on Doug Brien. I swear... sometimes this forum aggravate the living daylights out of me. This team is damned if they do and damned if they don't.
The kick in OT barely made it from what anyone would consider average yardage. Why should I be dry-humping the guy?
Like I said...big freaking deal. The guy is a professional kicker in the NFL and a second round draft pick. I expect the chip shots. When he kicks a 50-yard game-winner then maybe I'll throw him some man-love. Until then...shut up and keep making the easy ones.
Nugent is an average kicker drafted in the second round. He made a bunch of shots that any kicker in the league could have. Thanks for not sucking this week and continue to try not to suck nuge.
I finally get it. The team sucks, Nugent sucks, Mangini sucks, Tannenbaum sucks, Woody sucks, this forum sucks (win or lose), Chad sucks, Kellen will suck (give him time), Vilma sucks, Giants Stadium sucks, the new stadium sucks, the Flight Crew sucks (figuratively and probably literally), Mike and Mike sucks, the FAN sucks, Cimini sucks, New Jersey sucks, the 3-4 sucks, the Patriots suck (the irony in saying that), suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck. Thanks for the rant. Carry on.
he's a kicker! unless you nail a 40 + yarder in the playoffs or the Super Bowl, nobody cares -- especially when it is a game winner that only improves your record to 2 and freaking 8! it's called context.
This is exactly how I feel. If we're going to praise him up and down for making FGs any pro should make, should we also rip him for kicking yet another kick off out of bounds? I can't stand Nooge. He's a barely average kicker, picked 2 rounds too early. He can't kick with all three of height, distance, and accuracy, whether kicking FGs or KOs. Sorry, until Nooge decides to do something signficiant, like kick a game winner that we didn't need to get within the 30 for him to have a chance, or start making kick offs that don't result in the opposition starting from the 25, I refuse to give him any credit for anything.
regardless of his draft position, Nugent has become just like every Jet placekicker before him.........if he doesn't screw up, we're happy..... that 38 yarder barely made it.........it's a good thing TJ advanced the ball a few yards on those runs or that kick would've been short
Thanks for being in love with an average kicker. The D played fantastic yesterday. The Run game looked great. We made big plays in the passing game. All of those made me happy. ...and low and behold your thrilled that an average kicker did and average job?
When your team is 2-8... an average kicker looks like a superstar. Somehow, I don't find your praise for the rest of the team any more than the moral victories for the rest of the season.
He did what he is supposed to do. No great love for that. Four FGs between 19-38 yards. Good job. Try to continue not sucking. :beer:
Didn't Vinatiere, the so-called greatest kicker in the history of the NFL miss chip shots two weeks in a row and cause Indy a couple of losses? Didin't he also miss two more yesterday?
At this point I'll take moral victories. They are a lot better than the demoralising tripe I been watching from week to week.
Ohio, naturally your high on Nuge, your a Buckeye and you should be proud too. I have to say I think Nuge has been steady even if not spectacular he has missed some important kicks which could have changed the outcome of some games. I like the guy. He has improved. His measure will come when we become a team capable of challenging for Division titles etc. I will say Kickers live off confidence and he should carry on a good series of displays into the next few games. Plenty love here buddy.
