Week Twelve - 2019

i dont believe that to be true but will not question a good liberal like queen h

I think it's literally wherever the holder sets up. Tom Dempsey's 63 yarder was off a 45 yard LOS.

7 used to be the average but it's shifted out to around 8 gradually.

[ice grillin you]

she claims its 8 every single time like it was 7 for ever before that

im assuming with legs being much stronger now teams added a yard as it wouldnt affect the chances of making the kick as much as it prevents the chances of a block

[ice grillin you]

that farging call right there is the nfl in a nutshell

[PhillyPhreak54]

So dumb

I need a Pats FG to make this a profitable day otherwise it's break even

[QB Eagles]

Curious about the FG thing, I just did a stat search looking at FGs from only the opponent's 20 yard LOS, 1995-today. I figured that was about a mid-range FG, where you are most likely to use a "normal" hold.

In 1995, 19 of them counted as 38 yarders, 15 counted as 37 yarders, 1 counted as a 39 yarder.
In 2015, 29 of them counted as 38 yarders, 1 counted as a 37 yarder, 3 counted as a 39 yarder.
Last year there were still three 39 yarders, but no more 37 yarders.

Glancing at overall stats, it looks like the NFL counts them from the spot of the hold which varies but has progressively been moving away from the LOS for decades. You get +19 more than you get +17, but it's overwhelmingly +18.

[ice grillin you]

it was +17 from 1980 to at least 2014ish...i thought it was still that

wifey claims it went to 18 in the last three years

[ice grillin you]

thats a preposterous holding call but thats the nfl

[QB Eagles]

Unless the NFL did a mass change of their historical stats, I don't think so.

Field Goal
(:11) D.Akers 35 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-M.Bartrum, Holder-K.Detmer.
1st & 10 at NYG 17

We were always taught it's 17 yards and I think even video games still add 17 yards, but then when the league added the "33 yard" XP from the 15, it seemed like an instant change. But in reality the 17 was never really right either. Like I said, the Dempsey kick in 1970 was snapped from the 45 yard line.

i dont care what the record books say im talking about the actual length of the kicks

[QB Eagles]

Other than Panthers-Saints the NFL product today was a farging disgrace. Not fun to watch these games.

[ice grillin you]

still cant believe that tripping call
