Last year Nugent was above the league average from both 40-50 yards and 50+.
You honestly think that no other kickers ever miss FGs over 45 yards?
Nugent always makes me nervous,... But for every game that he's "lost", I can think of another that he played a large role in them winning. That kick against Seattle was amazing. The ST unit as a whole was great on that play. I don't think a kicker is really ever the reason that a team loses a game. He's just the straw that broke the camel's back. If the outcome of a game is coming down to a kick, the team didn't play well enough to leave a decent margin for error.... A turnover in the red zone in the first quarter of a scoreless game can cost a team as much as a missed FG in the 4th quarter.
