I say long is now anything over 40 and put Wile in.

It was blocked

Ok?
Gibbons is notorious for low kicks.
Give Wile a shot long range.

Long + Field Goal Attempts = go for it!

Is what you took out of the game and is in the forefront of your mind?

It's definitely ok to be concerned about field goal kicking.

But more seriously, if you're going to worry about consistency of 47 yarders, you're going to worry a lot. Even if you're a fan of the Lions.

But down the stretch in the B10 season (next week even) there's a good chance we won't win every game by 21 (or 18) and a field goal or 2 could make the difference, so it's disconcerting we still haven't gotten this situation handled.
If Gibbons can't kick it high enough on longer field goals, he obviously just doesn't have the range for them. Wile needs to be given a shot on the longer ones and get some in-game reps so he's not stuck trying his first long field goal in a high pressure situation.

To figure a 47 yard field goal for us is at best a 25% shot. On the other hand you have 4th and 3, which is like a 75% chance, given our offense. So why not go for it!

<br>Not that I really care right now. We did score 42 despite 3 TOs.

I would love to see the replay...another great job by BTN! I would guess that it was a low kick...please put in Wile.

He's 4-for-6 (one of which was a block) with a long of 38. Last year he was 1-for-5 with a long of 24 (!)
I'm not a math major, but I think that's better.

I have no idea what the the phrase "Long Field Goals" means.
Is it bigger than a shoe box?
