    If I remember right, didn't they rip him off of a sack or half sack in his record tying season?

    Not too many mediocre Kickers in the NFL.

    Nobody is complacent. Nobody, but some of us aren't dumb enough to think that we average 10.5 wins a season because of freaking magic, or because other teams let us.
    People laugh at that, but if our coaches can't coach, can develop players, and everyone knows our Defense, and offense throughout the NFL then Magic must be how we win. I myself don't believe in magic.
    Also the Cowboys haven't even been to the playoffs since 2022 season.

    So then no need for a great FG kicker. I guess we'd have won all those games BOZ won for us with anybody. Might as well get a guy for minimum salary.

    The cowboys make the playoffs from 2021 to 2023 with 3 12-5 season...But only one playoff win during this period (in Tampa in 2022) and losing to the 49ers in 2021,2022 and losing to the packers in 2023,the only second seed ever to lose against the 7th seed

    That's not what I'm saying, but You act like we haven't watched the Ravens win many game by their kicker, or anyone else. You do know that many don't even consider Boz the best kicker in the NFL. We do because we watch him all the time, but many that cover the NFL don't.

    I agree, but I guess you forgot the last year that Boz got paid, and many on here wanted him fired.
    Also 3 is not number 1, or 2.

    I do remember and TBH I said screw him we'll get some soccer player over here to kick. I would say #3 is amazing since it is from 1938. There's been a hell of a lot of kickers since then.

    Dude I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing His is not considered number one by anyone, but us Steelers fans, and so if other teams aren't winning because their kicker suck, well wouldn't we blame that on coaches here, so tell me why it would be different elsewhere??? If they aren't winning games because their kicker sucks who's fault is that???

    Sorry but every Bird fan I know knows BOZ is the man. I always here how the AFCN has the two best FG kickers in NFL.

    I'll take the counter view. There are very few truly elite kickers in the NFL. When you have one you hold onto him until hell freezes over.

    I agree, but there are very few mediocre kickers in the NFL. They get fired very quickly. I believe one , or two has lost their jobs already this year, and there has only been one game played.

    OK I did
    The top-ranked kickers in the NFL generally include Justin Tucker, Harrison Butker, Brandon Aubrey, and Chris Boswell

    The Browns rookie kicker personally cost them the game. Missed an extra point and a chip shot FG that would have won the game. The Falcons kicker also sucked in a game they lost by 3. The kicker we had in pre-season Sauls should have a job pretty soon.

    First chart, WC weekend vs PIT. Second chart, WK1 vs NYJ.

    Seeing a pattern?

    there are PLENTY of mediocre kickers, when you compare to GREAT.

    Boz and Tucker are the gold standard. (GREAT) 1/2 the kickers in the NFL are mediocre.....

    that is what happens here too much - we (Steelers fans) have settled for redefining goals and standards. Mediocre Mike and Rooney have done that too us. you are mediocre if you are 1 of 14 teams making the playoffs each year and keep getting bumped in Rd. 1 - is that too hard to understand?

    Teams like the 49ers,Browns and chargers in the past struggle to find good kicker and also good clutch kicker

    Don't take Boz as granted!

    they get fired, and replaced by a has been

    the Rats got rid of Tucker and may have lost Sun night due to an extra point missed.

    he also shanked a kick off, giving Allen the ball at the 40, in the first half, leading to a score for BUFF

    mediocre, in week 1.

    PLENTY of mediocrity, when compared to EXCELLENCE.
