Tynes is a good kicker but please don't say clutch

[Giant stuck in Texas]

i agree completely. He had 2 tries on Sunday night. Inexcusable.

Coughlin in his presser said that the ball was missed handled on the second attempt which is why he had plenty of distance on the first attempt, but fell short on his second attempt.

Dumb thread.........

[RoanokeFan]

he is 52.6% on FG 50+ for his career

is that so terrible ?

It would see so, YA

[CDN_G-FAN]

A lot of people here are calling this guy clutch. I don't know when this started but he's clearly not a clutch kicker. He is a useful reliable kicker under 40 yards sure, but has he hit a GW FG while we were losing? Ever? Most of his big FG have come during tie games.

Since the miss in the NFC championship game vsGreen Bay, Tynes has hit all the "BIG" kicks. High pressure and bad weather not excluded. He just doesn't have a big foot. I'll trust him under 50 to make the "clutch" kicks. I remember the Giants winning a superbowl over a lights out kicker who wasn't clutch on a kick under 50 yrds.

Didnt he make every FG before that. I put it on Eli. Eli should not of forced that ball to Barden, If its 44 yards Tynes drills it and everyone praises him

[Redeyejedi]

If a kicker made every clutch kick from 50+ he would go in the first round

[burier]

Jeez.

An NFC Championship winning FG in Green Bay, an NFC Championship winning FG in San Francisco, a last second winner in Dallas at the opening of Jerry's Folly and that's without even thinking about it.

He came up short on a 54 yarder, sh!t happens. The guy's a good kicker, he's come on a ton since he started with us.

I'm not mad at Tynes for missing the kick. We already knew that he was beyond his range. I was disapointed because I thought he had a shot since he got a second try.

That said. When he missed all this field goals in Lambeau field don't tell me you didn't want to find him and murder him. He eventually atoned for it but I think 1 for 3 or whatever it was isn't really all that clutch.

Or if we don't burn a half assed time out on a 3rd and 1, the whole drive is different.

Tynes and Eli will win us more games than they lose us, it's a hard, hard loss to those but it's only one game.

Time to move on and take all the angst out on Cleveland.

That was 5 seasons ago. Can we review how he is kicking now or maybe the last two years or so. Wow give the guy a break he has improved since then.
