    They serious? They couldn't let their punter attept a PAT so they went for it instead... Unreal. How can a pro team NOT have a backup place kicker?

      Its unreal. I simply cannot imagine that not one player on their active roster didn't place kick in college. Unheard of.

        Or kickoffs.The last time the dolphins took over on the 43 year line.

        It's going to be a long game where field position may really come into play.unreal.

          Do kickers NEVER get hurt or pull a muscle?

              Usually the backup QB is also taught to place kick.

                    It may be a good idea to go for on side kicks every time they score from now on since they are horrible at kick offs.

                      That is really fukked up. On that TD it was 4th and long from the 22 (I think). Would've been a FG under 40 yds.

                        Kick offs, PAT and punting are different skills. If I recall, for kick offs a punter use to be allowed to "kick off" (but this was after a safety). Anyone got the rulebook handy?

                          Nugent hurting himself without anyone touching him was as pussified as the Grmatica brothers tearing ligaments celebrating fg makes.

                          This is why kickers are a joke.

                            Coaches must have gotten on Nugents ass. He came back to kick the pat.

                              Dagger called it, they flushed the sand out of that thing and stitched it up for the second half.
