Chiefs ***Official Harrison Butker Appreciation Thread *** - Page 18

:-) to our newest place butker

I mean he is brave enough to wear #7 :-)

3/4 made.

for now i am going to apply the kareem hunt rule when it comes to our new kicker.

botched the first, he will be game money the rest of the way? :-)

i must say it is weird seeing the fans in the screen shots of the new kicker. the old one always was shown with nothing but grass behind him. :-)

Best start to a season for a Chiefs kicker.

There are only 5 perfect kicking seasons in NFL history

(Crosby/Forbath/Graham/Myers/Zendejas missed XPs)

A lot of these guys didn't play full seasons so it's pretty clear Butker has a chance to have the third-greatest kicking season ever behind Gary Anderson and Mike Vanderjagt.

Of course...they played in domes.

Wasn't Gary Anderson the one who didn't miss a kick all year then shanked one in the playoffs to lose the game?

YES! :-)

If we extend this to the playoffs....Anderson is out.

You'd have to put Vanderjagt 1, Butker 2

Of course Vanderjagt didn't get a ring :-)

I also noticed on his stats that 52/55 of his kickoffs have been touchbacks. 95%, highest of his career. Previous high was 78%.

I assume this is probably league wide. Teams may finally be understanding that it’s a bad idea to take kicks out of the endzone.

Remember when he was hurt last year and a bunch of people here wanted us to cut him?

Genuinely surprised to not see Tucker on that list. Would have figured that he would be on there for sure.

We're paying him half a billion dollars, and putting the games on a kicker that should be wearing #2. It's fucking asinine.

Nobody should.

This isn't new.

13 seconds isn't even a thing if he doesn't leave 4 points on the field in a divisional playoff game.

You have one job mother fucker. It's illegal to touch you.

Fuck.

You know, the usual suspects in a Kansas City Chiefs loss

Andy is going to have to understand when it's better to just put the ball in 15s hands, and let the chips fall where they may. Watching this dude kick in big moments this year is giving me serious 90s vibes.

I won’t trust Butker in big situations until he kicks a game winning field goal in the AFCCG and Super Bowl back to back.

Beat me to it. When he was hurt and had some struggles he got all the hate. Dude has been nails outside of that short time and then sent us to the SB.

Fans are fickle af

It's wallcrawler though. That guy wakes up full of ideas for things to bitch about. He lives to bitch.

He did actually miss a kick early in LVII lol

I always forget that and am reminded upon rewatch.

I wonder though.

What if the Chiefs get the ball back with a few minutes left in the game and a 3 point lead instead of being tied? Do we go too conservative in trying to run out the clock?

If so, maybe the Eagles get the ball back down 3 with 2 minutes left. I wouldn’t have felt too confident in that situation.

69D Chess from Harrison Butker to intentionally miss the first field goal.
