Edge,

Do you want your title changed to "kicked in HS and college for 5 years"? I can provide that service free of charge. Check one:

[ ] yes
[x] no

I've always wanted to use BBV4L style boxes, but you left out the ever popular "BASTARD"...

Jared, maybe = yes IMO.

lastchance, I have to assume that's a joke by you. You didn't kick for five years and after 22K posts I'm sure you could have secured something by now.

Jesus, do you people not realize that a 29 yard field goal is easier for an NFL kicker than a 24 yarder when you're kicking it from the hash? The angle's the only thing that can make it remotely missable and the angle's easier from further out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Since the hashes are at the width of the uprights, I don't think this is the case.

[/ QUOTE ]

This interested me so I looked up the dimensions.

Field goal pole is 9.75' from center.
Hash is 20' from center.

Hash to pole distances are thus 10.25' and 29.75'.

Kicks are 72' and 87' respectively.

Thus, angle for the 24 yarder is 14.348 degrees.
The angle for the 29 yarder is 12.159 degrees.

Second one is more difficult.

But to factor how much more difficult, you need to find the standard deviation of a kicker's (or more specifically, Vinitari's) error from the center (in degrees) and turn that into a probability distribution.

Are you sure you are looking at dimentions for an NFL field. It's different than college.

BigCummins,

I was born in Davenport and most of my family still lives there or in Bettendorf. Not a bad place, may be going back for the holidays.
