Mason Crosby is the ONLY Kicker in the NFL with a worse percentage than Akers. Crosby is last in the league and Akers is second to last.

But....

Look at it this way:

Akers
0-19 Yards - 1/1 For 100.0%
20-29 Yards - 8/9 For 88.9%
30-39 Yards - 11/13 For 84.6%
0-39 Yards - 22/23 For 87.0%

If can keep the Field Goal under 40 yards the chances of it going in are 87%. That means the Line of Scrimmage has to be at least at the 25 yard line. Akers has had a Pelvis injury all this year that nobody told us about. That explains the sudden drop off after 39 yards, but he can still be fairly accurate under 40 yards. This will be a problem for those drives that end between the 25 and 35 yard line because Akers percentage only rises slightly above 50% when the ball gets set on the tee beyond the 40. Above 50 yards and he's at 33%. But maybe he's gotten more healthy now. To me it seems so ridiculous that we've pinned our hopes on two potential wins on a guy who's got some fairly serious injuries. Why not bring someone else in back when they were aware of the injury? I'm not blaming Akers for being injured but the coaches for not compensating for this injury with a replacement kicker.

But I'm not going to worry about Akers. Its Red Zone conversion percentage that's more important. But any drive that fails within the Red Zone you can pretty much count on 3 points.
