In our last game, we lost by six points and he missed two field goals; both which should have been made.

50+ yard field goals should be made? Every time? By your reasoning then, I'm guessing all field goals attempted should be made...not very realistic. For field goals less than 40 yards, I'll agree with you...

Also, I think we had negative yardage plays by our offense before both of his misses...so if we don't have those, maybe the kicks would've been more manageable...

Despite the length of the FGs he missed this last game, I can maybe see a poor grade for this game alone...but a poor grade through 5 games? Just not seein' it...

Did I say he should make every field goal or did I say he should make the ones in the big games that count the most?

He missed a 51 yard field goal. Y'all making it seems like it was 59 yards and he was an inch away.

He also missed a 46 yarder this game and another 40 yarder the previous game.

I'm sorry I'm not crowning him for missing field goals and giving him an A+.
