Oh, no argument from me.  I'm a fan of Gano, so I'm not criticizing him by pointing out that stat.  Just wanting to give a rounded out picture of his performance this season.  The blocks are not necessarily his fault.

For 2015 so far:

He's made 100% of FGs from < 40.

He's 10 / 13 at 40-49 yards

He's 2 /4 at 50+ yards.

from PFR:  http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GanoGr44.htm

I'll check on the specifics of length for the 3 blocked attempts.  Stay tuned.

Make him do his own Googling :)

Wk 1:  Jacksonville - missed 53 yard attempt

Wk 1 Jacksonville - 43 yard attempt blocked

Wk 2: Houston - 53 yard attempt blocked

Wk 9 Green Bay - missed 43 yard attempt

Wk 12 Dallas - 43 yard attempt blocked

Anybody that's worried about his leg strength should let him kick em' in the balls. Then tell us what you think! Besides...who's more at fault for a blocked kick? The kicker, the holder or the guys blocking the defense off the kick?

Any negativity directed towards Gano is merely a reflection of a deep rooted and cemented fear of all things special teams that we as Panther fans have come to know.

tell me you don't pucker up whenever we have to kick the ball for any reason?

Punts, FGs, PATs, Kickoffs. They all make me nauseaous and clammy.

I don't pucker anymore. When Gano kicks I used to not watch. That changed mid season this year.

At least it's not for punts!

Field goals will always make me nervous..  Hell, the extra points make me nervous. How many of those has he missed? Not downing Gano by any means, but it's ingrained in me to be anxious on kicks 

[LinvilleGorge]

Gano is a very solid kicker.  That Cowboys game really gave him a boost in term so points scored. I thought his leg might fall off from all the kicking he was doing 

[DudeNamedJeremy]

As long as he keeps his kickoffs in bounds in February I'm happy

[GoobyPls]

I still don't trust him from 50. But he's been very good lately

To be honest, the nausea stopped after the Super Bowl. Once Kasay kicked off OB and gave New England a short field, I was pretty much done. Now, when I see people wanting Gano's head for missing a fugging PAT, while giving Kasay a total pass, I want to puke.

Thats when it all started for me.  PTSD if you will.

Flashbacks to ST's blunders, blocks, misses, returns, muffs and what ever the hell Chris Gamble did.

Nightmares man, nightmares.

There was a fire Gano thread earlier this season - after he missed an extra point or FG (I forget which) against Green Bay.

Mind you this was AFTER he scored the game winning two FGs against Indianapolis the previous week.... LOL!

Granted if he had made the fg we probably never would have seen OT with the colts.  But that's ifs, and it really doesn't matter now.  No complaint from me gano has been solid and before he came around our kicking game was abysmal with olindo mare.  Now that dude was awful.
