McManus missed 7 FGs from 40 or more yards. He was 16/23 from 40+

This type of stat is misleading.  He missed 2 FGs from between 40-49 yards (11 of 13).  In fact he only missed those 2 FGs for all attempts under 50 yards.  It was 50+ where he was 5 of 10 and his accuracy took a dive which isn't all that uncommon.  You'd like better accuracy at 50+, but those guys aren't just wandering around on the street.  He wasn't a bad kicker, he just had that one critical miss against the Bengals which contributed to us losing that game and by extension the division and a playoff berth.  I vaguely recall there being mention of a bad handling of the snap by the holder on that one as well, but I could be mis-remembering.

Hopefully Cam Little has both the distance and accuracy working for him.
