They have one job and one job only, kick the damn ball. They don't have to learn dozens of plays, they don't have to have contact in practice, all they do is kick. And when the game is on the line they blow it. What.... are we asking to much of um...

It may always seem like the game is on their shoulders-especially in the final seconds...all it would take for their team to win may very well rely on their leg.I'm sure it's alot of pressure.Also,they aren't as warmed up as the other players that are on the field most of the time.I don't hate the kickers but sometimes I curse them out on television...but soon come to my senses and say "ahh what the heck...damn kickers"

You, sir, need to resolve your anger management issues.
I love kickers when they make the last-gasp 45-yard boot with 1 second left to put my team on top.
I only hate kickers when they blow the chip shot, causing my team to lose.
As far as doing one job, how about the Center. All he has to do is get his butt fondled by the quarterback and snap the ball, then just block whoever is tryng to get through the line. Why not hate them, too?

Kickers today are far more accurate than their predecessors. To survive in the NFL these days, you almost have to be automatic from 40 yards in, hit a good 75% of your tries from 40-49, and a good 50% from 50 and beyond.

I don't like them or hate them...they are a very important part of ANY football team...if New England didn't have a good kicker, hell they would have lost 2 Super Bowls.
Let's give them a little break...you may not like them...but they are important!!

They are my favorites. The overlooked heroes. How many games have been won by the kickers and then they interview the WR or QB...

So many games are decided by a last second field goal. They are really important. If you think it is that easy to kick a field goal why don't you go try it?
