    He's gotta be mindfucked anyway especially after Staley pulled him from that 4th down attempt, and then missing two XPs.

      Kicking conditions were rough. First time kicking in Arrowhead.
      I’m giving the kid a chance for a while yet.
      His KO go through the endzone at will.

        Yeah same thoughts. The refs' pants looked like they were gonna fly off.....even KC's kicker whom knows the stadium had some near misses.

        Not taking him off the hook BUT he better kick lights out the next few games.

            I think he understood the situation. 48 yarder with a cross wind is not gimme. I don’t think Butker could have made that kick if given a chance.

              Yep...my fear is Dizzy Vizzy costs us 1-2 winnable close games...give him another week, two at most...but if he keeps missing, bring in the kid, Kessman, or maybe an old, grizzled vet...

                    I think if Swinton gets in his face on the sidelines and screams DO YOUR JOB with spit coming out each word, that will fix it.

                      GameTime Wind: SSW 17 MPH. I'm sure there were wind gusts at 25+mph too based on how fast loose clothing was moving at field level.

                        Those were field goals, not extra points. A professional kicker makes those, even in the wind
                        Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                          Tony Romo mentioned the wind a few times in regards to passes drifting.

                          XP are the distance of a decent FG, and the percentage has dropped with the new distance. However, most kicks under 50, should be pretty automatic.

                          The choice for getting a kicker is to either pay a ton and/or trade for a experienced guy, or put up with the growing pains of a younger K. Koo, Money Badger, Lambo were all younger kickers who have shown something, but got let go. 2 of those 3 are now a pretty good kickers in the first stop since leaving us (although Lambo is struggling right now).

                          Is Vizcano ready to step up or not? Cutting him is the emotional way to go, but think about Koo (NFC pro bowl kicker last year) and Lambo was another. But just under half the teams in football are in about the same boat as us ... they have a young kicker who was either recently or is currently inconsistent. You can't just say you want to find someone who is more consistent and they go order off the menu and get the guy. At some point, someone has to develop these guys. If we don't do it ourselves, we still need to get lucky and get one off the street.
