Billy Cundiff appreciation thread

*sneaks into the thread*

Just want to wish Billy well. Apparently he was 12/13 in the postseason for the Ravens. Tucker won the job. I just hope he has the nerves for when it really counts.

just wanted to show off the new avatar.

LOL -Good one and I love the sarcasm.


ILMAO at fans telling us to get over it. The Ravens and the players certainly didnt and fired him but we're suppose to. Football is a hard game where bones are broken. It's not for sissies.

I have no appreciation for a kicker that missed a chip shot in a AFC Championship game.

He should have been fired after that game ,but not just for that kick.

Cundiff made only 56% of his kicks in away games last year. That is a completely
unacceptable conversion rate.

I do appreciate the fact that the biggest roster shake up the Ravens have to worry about this year is the place kicker! It should be an excellent season!

I'm just glad we're not talking about who the QB should be, finally.

Well that was quick. Billy reportedly signed with the Redskins. I heard yesterday on the radio hat Gano was a 70% kicker and I thought hmmm, wonder if that might work out for Billy? ETA: At least he doesn't have to move if he doesn't want to.

I think you aren't comprehending the thread title much. It's an "appreciation" thread, not a 'you shouldn't have cut Billy' thread.

Just wishing him well on his accomplishments here. Nothing wrong with that, and no need to get deeply philosophical with either. He's gone. "I" appreciate him and I've moved on.

Why is this so hard for people to grasp? Skulls too thick or something?

[ThisGirlBleedsPurple]

This is sad. Cundiff did well in 2010, and did a passable job last year despite playing with an injured calf at the end of the year. He also made 11 of 12 FG's in the playoffs in his three seasons here. You're seriously bummed; fine, so was I. But I didn't think Ravens' fans treated players this way. As Sam Wyche once said to unruly fans, "You don't live in Cleveland".

Very eye-opening, and very disappointing.

And that is one of the key stats people miss.

In addition to the 50+ misses...he was very bad on the road.

mare, brown, rackers will all find work before billy goat

Thank you, Nostradumbass.

Looks like Cundiff already found a new home with the Redskins.

[festivus]

Thank you, Nostradumbass.

That's a little harsh, don't you think?

I think Cundiff may already have the job, and last night was the team giving the rookie a chance to show other potential employers what he can do.

That's a little harsh, don't you think?

I love America because of your post.
