Washed up? He’s a kicker and was 29. If you thought he was washed up I wonder what you thought when we signed Gano

Conversation over!

see my post from this morning!

But every time I think of Tynes, I can't forget the 4th quarter of the Packers game. Yes,he kicked the OT FG to send us to the Super Bowl,but he almost became our Scott Norwood. So,that's why Bahr will always be,head & shoulders above all,my #1!

yes, he was on our roster before I think Reeves let him go.

For his ability (not his off-field issues, though…) I loved it when he kicked the field goal against the 49ers and yelled “we’re going to the (Effin’) Super Bowl!” And, for sure Graham Gano for his play right now. That was a streak!

Was the kicker for most of my youth and also for some reason I never thought he was going to miss.
Maybe I was naïve

I was waiting for someone to say Matt Stover ha

Dave Jennings was the best player on the team in some lean years.

And I’m blanking on his name, but the Tynes era punter who ran around yelling “Super Bowl Kick, Baby!” when he went to hold in the NFC Championship.

Bahr and Tynes were clutch. Tynes is also all big blue on Twitter, too. He was psyched when we beat NO and posted of him jumping off the couch and high fiving his kid.

He was the only weapon the Giants actually had on the team during the 70s always flipping the field.

As to kickers, I go with Matt Bahr.

HAH there it is!!!

Was missing three toes on his kicking foot but was still a very good place kicker. Good enough to have a job as solely a place kicker when that was not common in an NFL with 33 man rosters.

And Pat Summerall. 49-yards, probably more in a driving snow storm to beat the Browns. The very definition of clutch.

Matt Bahr and Ali Haji-Sheikh are right up there, too. Bahr was another clutch kicker, and the Sheikh set a GIANTS season FG record. Besides, Ali was born in Michigan and when the press asked if he'd ever been in a foreign country, he said Canada.

Loved Dave Jennings - 1 of my favorite Giants of all time (nevermind favorite kicker/punter)

We had some good talent at that position through the decades ... kinda of hard for me to choose 1.
