In 1973 David Ray had a career year, but against Dallas in the playoffs missed 3 makeable FG's that would have changed that game immensely. Ray was 3 of 6, if he makes two of those the Rams when Tony Baker scores the TD lead the Cowboys 22-17 for example although Hadl had an abysmal game too.
When the Rams traded for Tom Dempsey in 1975 thought that was a great, but Dempsey because of his half foot had the propensity to get his kicks blocked and it happened multiple times against the Cowboys & Vikings. I wished the Rams had gone with the soccer style kickers back then as opposed to the conventual kickers like Ray & Dempsey. They finally moved on from Dempsey signing Rafael Septién their first soccer style kicker after he was released from the Saints.
