Inordinate condemnation of Brett Maher for
his missed extra points in a playoff game vs
Bucs that the Cowboys won 31-14. Can any-
one say "didn't matter", who cares if one wins
by 17 or by 21 in a game where the Cowboys
led by 18-0 at the half & never trailed?

Sheesh, much ado about nothing. I submit
the Cowboys biggest mistake of 2023 would
be if they fail to bring back one of the greatest
long distance field goal kickers & high kickoff
touchback% kickers in NFL history !!!

Kicker Brett Maher had the Yips vs Bucs?
Does he still have it?

One final comment: EVERY NFL player has
a bad day from time to time, EVERY Hall
of Fame player had a bad day from time to
time. Why in the world are the Cowboys ...

.... condemning Brett Maher for having a bad
day that didn't matter one iota? Please, get
over it, all Brett's GREAT days more than
make up for his bad day that didn't matter
vs the Bucs!
