With 6 games left, Blake Grupe is on pace for most FG made in a rookie season and NFL record in attempts. (1 Viewer)

[Taker597]

38 FG is the rookie Record set by Harrison Bulker in 2017
51 FGA is the NFL record by San Fran in 2011

Blake Grupe is 24/30 on FGs.

For the record.

15 FGs... Which avgs 2.3
22 FGA ... Which is 3.6


That seems surprisingly doable. Especially if he gets a few 3/4 FG games in there.

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Yeah i mean, it's like cut lil dude some slack on his misses. He's being relied on an inordinate amount due to the deficiencies of our offense in the RZ.

 

[Consigliere]

He does not inspire much confidence, but he is not one of our top five problems.

Just in case someone’s wondering:

Saints franchise records for a season-

Field goals made- 32, Lutz 2019
Field goals attempted- 41 Dempsey 1969

 

[nolaswede]

It’s happening!!!

 

[dutar76]

He's in the right offense to challenge FG records, that's for sure.

 

[BreesusSaves]

Adam Vinatieri, arguably the greatest kicker in NFL history, averaged 29.79 (30) field goal attempts per season. He has a career 83.8% field goal make percentage.

Grupe at 80% aint bad. Yes he's had some very untimely misses, but when you consider how bad the Saints red zone offense is (29th)... Grupe is under an unfair amount of pressure to have to make every single kick because he's probably going to be most, possibly all the points the Saints score in a game.

Part of DA's "explosive" offense.

It's been a good thing for his career and longevity. If he had fallen apart with the early misses it would have been a bad sign. But he's recovered nicely and performed pretty well.

Right. Who would have thought we would ever under-perform the offenses that Morten Andersen had?

 

[jessy]

This was Pete's plan all along....lol

 

[WhoDatPhan78]

This season has felt like one of those years we had Morten Anderson, and not in a good way.

 

[saintfan1972]

And as great as Morten was, he didn't make 80% of his FGs in his career. Grupe is doing fine.
