3 of you took the next kicker, and we bid adieu to spoonfox's perfect start.

This K was perfect through 3 weeks, but was then placed on IR with a groin injury. 4 days after that, he was waived by Kansas City.

He does not have any 50+ attempts so far this season.

**** me RIP

Next, another 3 of you another kicker looking for work.

This rookie missed a game-tier in Week 1, and a game-winner in Week 2. He was finally cut after Week 4, as the head coach wanted "someone with a little more consistency, and someone with more experience."

Not sure why you'd start a rookie kicker if that's how you really felt.

2 of you missed with the next kicker. He's also looking for work.

This former Jaguar was 0-3 on 50+ tries while in Jacksonville. He was wide right on a 52-yard try in Week 4 at the Jets, then was wide left each time on a pair of 54-yard attempts at home to the Rams in Week 6. It was his poor performance in Week 6 that cost him his job.

The next lonesome kicker is.....

damn what a terrible one to miss

the top 10 teams for points right now are pretty comical

really the top 6

If I took Walsh as I think I did, it was really demoralizing week 6 to watch him hit a 49 and 48 yard field goal then have Carroll punt from the OPP37 (~54 yard FG)

Finally, 6 of you took the last 2 incorrects.

First, Jimmy Proffett missed an ace by one yard. Pittsburgh's K has no 50+ tries on the year.....

makes me wish i could have answered 'the Philly kicker' for a future question instead of being so specific.

Next is an 11-point answer; this kicker also made a 64-yarder in 2013 which is still the NFL record for longest FG.

Myself and 6 others took the next kicker.

As I indicated, this kicker's lone 50+ attempt came in Week 4, as his team lost at home for the second time this season. But he was good on his 58-yarder, making him correct yet again.
