has not made a FG since the short game winner against WVU, and he almost missed that. And we gave him a schollie?:sad1:
Sorry for the personal attack, but it is kinda dissapointing.
burns my onions.
I hate to say this, but..... if the staff has the gonads to replace the qb then...........
They don't have four backup kickers. They have one, and he's shown to be less accurate than Goodman.
Terrible situation to be in, for sure. It sucks when your kicker can't split the uprights. It hasn't cost us a game - yet, but it could.
Sorry, but he might have cost us the KU game.

I'll preface this by saying I didn't actually see the KU game, just read about it and heard about it. But I don't think he cost us the KU game. Throwing 2 INT's, taking a safety, and giving up two 4th quarter TD's in a 2 point game cost us the KU game.
I think he cost us the FSU came personally. Two early missed field goals, (or was it three?)-- I think at worse we would have been down 14-9 going into the half. That is a much different game than 14-zip at half.
Even if we lose by more than three, when we have a sustained drive and then he misses a FG, it is a huge momentum breaker. I think that is what hurt CU worst at FSU. When we have to keep going for it on fourth, since we can't trust him to have a 50-75% chance of making it, and turn it over on downs often, it can lead to double digit losses, which makes you think that he was not the difference, when in fact, because of his misses and innaccuracy, we absolutely got there due to plays called to avoid letting him miss again.
I feel that with Crosby, we would have one less loss this year, maybe two. Now Tejas--- probably the best kicker in the world would not have helped there.
are you confusing the texas/fsu games? he missed one vs fsu and 3 vs texas. it was 19-7 at fsu at half and 21-0 vs texas at half (with the 3 missed FGs in the 1st half).
Maybe. The pain kind of blends after a week or two.:sad1:
Maybe it was Texas, where if we had made those FGs we could have been 14-9 at the half; instead, we kept giving them better field position after the missed FGs and they scored late if I remember right. Worse field position and 9 points might have made it a 14-9 game at half, which is much better for team morale than 21-0.
It's not a personal attack. There are guys his age getting killed in iraq so if he gets some flack too bad.
He has a "money" ego but not a "money" leg.
I'm sure I'll get blasted for this but,to have guys go out and play every down,bust their ass and then GOLDFOOT comes in and keeps missing kicks, burns my onions.

True, there is only one back-up kicker. But the guy who's making 'em in practice isn't making 'em in the game. Maybe the guy who is missing a few in practice might make 'em in the game - who knows?
Point is, if the staff isn't afraid to make a qb change to spark the offense, then it seems reasonable that they would try another PK if the first teamer isn't getting it done. Nothing personal against Goodman.
he doesn't have it between the ears....it will be a long season for himSince you seemed to miss it, the other kicker can't plant his leg to kick accurately; Hawk said he has to have his knee scoped after the season. But he can blast them out of the endzone, so he still is doing that for us.
Goodman just has to get his mind right. We have no other choice as far as I know.
:stupid: Something must be done re the kicking situation. We need to be able to get points when drives stall out in the red zone. Can't go for it on 4th very time. :wow:

Maybe YOU can't go for it on 4th every time... you haven't seen Hawkins' Madden Rating.
TTech just offered their position to a guy who kicked a 30 yard field goal during one of those "make a field goal win a prize" sweepstakes in between quarters.
I agree thats kicking under pressure, get 8-10 kids and run a round robbin till there is only 1 left and he gets the job. Perfect:thumbsup::lol: I was just gonna post that and say that the Buffs should do something like that....at least an open tryout
