That is a little lulzy. Usually when you see a punt go for that far in real life, it's because the returner let it go, and it took a wicked bounce and roll for another 20+ yards.

The NFL record punt (98 yards) traveled 75 yards in the air before taking a bounce and stopping at the 1.

HowStuffWorks did a rough calculation and said that a good punter hitting a perfect 45 degree angle punt with no wind could get a ball to travel 84 yards in the air. Pity they didn't use some of the top power punters in the NFL today for their initial velocity, but I suspect it's only a matter of time before some kicker in the NFL punts from his own endzone and puts it in the opposition end zone.

I'd guess said punter will prolly play for the Raiders since they're fond of strong leg kickers and have an offense that sucks enough to end up in that situation often

Heh, didn't know that. Interesting stuff for sure.

Randall Cunningham #3 longest punt in NFL history!

He got some good bounces though.

Who punts from their own half in GLB2? Getting a first down or two isn't that tough.

If you want to force the other side to always start on the 20, build a power punter. I'll take a punter that will kick it high so that the punt team can down it or out of bounds inside the 15.

It turns out "I" punt from my own half. Doesn't mean I don't want the ball in the hands of the returner.

Lol that first one shows up the massive problems with returning. If you freeze the replay at tick 117 the returner has juked all the defenders and has an awesome lane to run up. So what does he do? Shits himself and can't decide where to go before being mugged from behind!

That punter I showed you isn't even a 'good punter.' That's just a guy with high power and nothing else. Theoretical stuff is always nice, but that still can't justify how overpowering power punting is.

at least allow returners to actually be in the position to return the ball if it's no brainer that he can take it farther into 20 yard line...

Yeah, if 99 yard punts are happening, I think a nerf is perfectly well in order.
