Forget about these ~80% kickers, our benchmark (open stadium, similar weather) should be someone like Robbie Gould:

I think Cairo Santos at 90% in Chicago would be a good benchmark: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/ ... ntCa01.htm

Basically my metric is:

If you are 85% or better...you are legendary. Especially as a Packers kicker. If you are in the 80 - 85 percent range...you are passable but fans will complain about you.

If you are below 80%, you shouldn't be on the team.

It's a sharp cutoff.

I was finally able to catch most of the game. I won't get too deep into it since it was casual viewing at best considering I knew nothing of the guys they were lining up against. Real NFL guys or guys that won't be there next week? Saw some guys that really fly around at ever level on Defense. We're back to having to likely cut a legitimate NFL receiver rather than hoping one of 3 or 4 actually steps up to become one for us. it's a good problem.

I liked what Pratt was doing until the INT, but he's young, looked pretty decisive and accurate and in control from what I saw.

and just when you thought things were looking good, even the kicking game, we were quickly reminded, our kicking game is going to be an issue with who we have.
