More so for their misses than their makes. As I once iterated back in the era of old world kickers historians forget that the biggest reason Lombardi failed to win another championship in 1964 was not the Baltimore Colts nor the Cleveland Browns. It was his place kicker. And that was Paul Hornung who went 12-39 as well as missing 2 ten yard extra points that resulted in one point defeats! But Lombardi did not respond. And Hornung up until his suspension and injuries was a decent kicker for that era. Lombardi learned his lesson in the off season by getting a FT kicker with a good track record. Had Hornung made those 2 extra points and just 6 specific FGs in that season the Packers go to the Championship Game to face the Cleveland Browns who they had already beaten that season. So do not wait long here Gute!</p></blockquote><p></p>
