Keading is a great kicker but his biggest opportunities are still to come I think. He has missed three field goals this season (42,43, and 55) and had an extra point blocked none of which made a difference in the outcome of a game so there isn't much made of them.

If I had a game on the line I would certainly be happy to know he is my kicker, but it really is a job where you're just as good as your last kick.

Ask Gary Anderson about 1998. He made 35 of 35 field goals and 59 of 59 extra points in the regular season. Then in the NFC title game he missed a 38 yard field goal with the Vikings up 27-20. Then the Falcons tie the game and win with a field goal in OT.
