AFC/NFC Championship Weekend '10

Is it me or has the efficiency of NFL kickers severely diminished? I remember when anything under 45 yards was almost guaranteed by a solid kicker. Now they're missing them as If they're 50+ yard FG's.

We've grown acoustomed to the thought that it's almost automatic, but from 48-50 yds. it's not as easy as it looks. That's why kickers live on the edge and have up's and down's.
