[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1065333, member: 10086"] I can see one other area that is sometimes forgotten about, but one that deep playoff contenders excel. [B][SIZE=6][U]Special Teams[/U][/SIZE][/B] Last year we started off shaky in the Kicking game. Narveson hit the upright in San Paola in Qtr3 in what was a 5 point loss. While it likely didn’t cost us the game, these misses absolutely are momentum killers. It would’ve been 32-34 going into that last drive. GB advanced to the Eagles47. While still a long shot.. it was 2nd and 6 at the Eagles47 with :06 seconds when Love injured. It’s not inconceivable to run a quick play for a 6-7 yard pickup out of bounds and a long 57-58 yard try for the Win. That Missed FG hurt and I wouldn’t want to be Philly with McManus getting a 57 yard try for the Win. Several weeks later Narveson missed not 1, but 2 FG’s against the Vikings. We lost that game by 2 points. 29-31 in a Division nail biter. FG misses matter. Both were Inside <50 yards and Narveson hit the upright on a 43 yard try. Highly likely Brandon does not miss both FG’s. A Win there would’ve been huge for GB. Another momentum killer. These things have implications. What would 1 more Win mean at the years end? Better seeding. We would’ve picked a 6th seed and while MN still got the 5th seed? GB would’ve likely played the Bucs opening weekend. the McManus signing went low radar. I feel like he’s a Top ~5 Kicker and he has the leg up to 60 yards in ideal conditions. Our guy went 21/22 and 100% XPM including some clutch FG’s that clinched games. He Kicked at Probowl level last season, we just didn’t have him soon enough. [/QUOTE]
