Craziest FG's made

March 21, 2011 at 07:51PM View BBCode

06:41. BRO 4/6 HOU 41

4th and 6 for the Blitz, they line up in a Field Goal/PAT; the Hammers line up in a Field Goal/PAT Block.
Ray Lou Jr. prepares to attempt a field goal for Brooklyn, Kevin Holdman holding.
Kick is into the wind, crosswind to right; Holdman's hold is perfect.
The 57-yard field goal kick by [url=http://football.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=124275]Ray Lou Jr.[/url] is good!

57 yarder to the south goal into a 17 mph northwest wind. Per my settings he was at least 40% to make it... gonna be scary what he could do in good conditions.

Wow, in a multi-season league that guy would be worth big draft points. He's only 24.

That kick had plenty of range on it, but was a foot and a half or so from the right upright. A little less execution or accuracy, or only a "good" hold rather than "perfect" and it likely wouldn't have made it. Nice kick!

I think that's the longest I've seen so far. According to the stats, there have been two 61 yarders and one 62 yarder. There have been unsuccessful attempts at 63 and 65 yards.
The Beta League has hit one 64-yarder, but it was heavily assisted by a 19 MPH tailwind.

I just had this one against me in a [url=http://football.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=20583&thid=2068]Pre-Season game[/url].

The weather Clear, 78°F, wind 6 MPH to the west.

4th and 2 for the Cardinals, they line up in a Field Goal/PAT; the Bison line up in a Field Goal/PAT Block.
Bob Berry prepares to attempt a field goal for St. Louis, Bill Vergara holding.
Kick is into a crosswind to right; Vergara's hold is poor.

It was also 2/3rds up the upright.

With the crosswind and the poor hold on top of it. He does have red-letter power, though, so the fact that he was 2/3rd up the upright doesn't surprise me.

I can't tell you precisely what the chance was at game time as that game's log is no longer available but I can reconstruct it. According to my test page, out of 10,000 test kicks and assuming the kicker and holder were both at 95% conditioning with no fatigue:

Good: 1763 (17%)
Short: 4476 (44%)
Wide Left: 3728 (37%)
Wide Right: 3166 (31%)

Perfect Hold: 1255 (12%)
Good Hold: 6894 (68%)
Poor Hold: 1291 (12%)
Bad Hold: 560 (5%)

Good with Perfect Hold: 266 (21%)
Good with Good Hold: 1280 (18%)
Good with Poor Hold: 162 (12%)
Good with Bad Hold: 55 (9%)
