Falcons kicker Morten Andersen has made 20 of 23 field goal attempts since being signed on Sept. 18. He's automatic inside of 40, with all of his misses coming between 40 and 49 yards. He has made two 47-yarders this season. "I'd like to keep going," Andersen said. "I need a little help from a team that will take the journey with me, but certainly. I think my performance speaks for itself this year." Despite the turmoil surrounding the Falcons, Andersen, the league's all-time scoring leader, would like to stay with the franchise. "I would love to be here," Andersen said.

He just wants to beat George Blanda's longevity record. I'll bet if he kicked for a team that didn't play the majority of its games inside (including a road game every year in New Orleans) or in warm weather, he'd be retired a long time ago.

Way to go Morten! Better check to be sure that Geritol isn't banned by the NFL.

If you are a REAL falcon, then you will kick a field goal, or extra point , this week end and then rip off your jersey to show your support for Mr. Falcon,,,you know who I mean......And one more thing , you must blame Petrino for those three missed field goal attempts...Remeber, being a Falcon is never having to say you did anything wrong...

If the lowly Falcons don't want him, I am sure others will. He is a great kicker. I wish he was still with the Saints.
