I still cite the Stoyanovich play as proof as to how ridiculous kickers are these days.
If a kicker MISSES a ball below 55 yards these days I'm surprised. That Lions kicker nailed two balls at 56 plus yesterday in the last 5 minutes of the game and most people are impressed by the story more than the kicks themselves.
Meanwhile the Stoyanovich play was considered a minor miracle that was immediately considered legend.
These guys are just so absurdly good now. If your kicker can't hit a 60 yarder, you're at a serious competitive disadvantage. Afterall, if Lutz hits that ball to end the 1st half yesterday, things are much different down the stretch.
