Does Marvin Study His Competition At All?

This is just another example of people claiming they know everything because they have 20/20 hindsight.

You must not have watched the game.  I watched him make one easily from 52 yards.  Around the 45 second mark.

So, when I watch a guy crush one from 52 why the hell would I let him pile on when we're fighting for out playoff lives?  That's not really hindsight you know.

Here's one of him making a 69 yard FG in practice!  (yes I know it's practice, before you try that angle)

Not all kickers are the same.  If you have a penalty to push them out of FG range, you do that.  If they don't make it, we get the ball back and the Ravens don't get the points.  

 Letting Tucker kick long range FG's is like giving Brady the ball with a minute to go with his team trailing by 6.  

Keep in mind, we're talking about Tucker and not Nugent (who we've debated before and we know how that has turned out).  I think you just like the argument even if it makes no sense at all.  

Call PBS, Marvin could use some more supporters right now.  His ass is on the hot seat.
