Man this guy is just money regular season, but seems to struggle in the post season year after year.

right in between the commercial of the "mouth of the midwest" saying he's going to make a meaningful kick?

Three big misses vs the Jets in Post Season. Good to be a Jet fan and a squawk hater. Of course we wouildnt be where we are at without green.

No matter how the AFC shakes out a Hawk will be representing them in the SB this year. I don't find it that hard to root for Green, he plays tough and has really impressed me these last few weeks. Though watching NK today has been very enjoyable, don't know why kickers having problems is entertaining but it is.

Well...hes still made something like 60+ in a row from inside of 40. While he should have made every single one of those kicks, I am a firm believer that it is your offenses job to score. The game should never be decided on the kicker.

I posted something about this on the Betting Board thread. I still think Ryan Longwell had a better season overall then Kaeding. Longwell scored more points this season and missed 1 less kick. Plus, the guy is almost automatic in cold weather/late season games dating back to his days with the Packers.

Kaeding has done this year after year. Can't believe for how good he is with "no" pressure, that he completely buckles with just a slight bit of it.

Tough day for Nate. I think I saw earlier in the year he's the most accurate kicker in NFL history. Unfortunatly days like today are going to last in more people's memories. If he hit's 2 of those 3 field goals, it's a totally different game.
