Conversely, the misses from 50+ are more acceptable so maybe they don't create such a lasting impression.
On a side note he's only 78.6% on FG's for his career. I don't look at kicker stats much, but I thought he would've been better than that.

Huh, didn't know that. I was just going off of something Texans Chick putout a year or so ago, but your probably right, it just seems more upsetting when one of the shorter ones are missed than the 50+ ones. To me, they are kind of a coin toss item and just extra icing so to speak when they are hit. The 30-40 on the other hand are kind of in the expected category and make my stomach drop when he misses, which fortunately isn't very often.
