Am I the only one who thinks this article is almost about drop goals rather then drop kicks. The start of each section, first mentions the drop goal, for each sport, only mentioning that the drop kick is used to score the goal. Should each section instead start by describing the drop kick and how it is performed. Then go into it's applications? This is pretty confusing, especialy since Drop Goal is redirected to this page, which I believe is an error. There is also the page Field goal, which further complicates matters or just plain confuses me POds 02:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC);
Great work paul, thats exactly what I had in mind. Again with Field goal. I would have done it myself, i just wanted to make sure I wasnt steping on any ones toes... Or is that in its self a violation of wiki's being bold attitude? :) POds 12:47, 27 August 2005 (UTC);
In England 'field goal' is considered an Aussie term and one imported from the US. Most people know what it means since most people who follow Rugby league also have an interest in NRL / State of Origin. AFAIK the term 'field goal' is actually mentioned in the rules and doesn't mean quite the same as 'drop goal' (though I forget the difference). GordyB 13:48, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
"Flutie had practiced this before, actually converting a few when he played in the Canadian Football League." has been removed from the article. Feel free to repost this once you've provided a source for this. -- OntarioQuizzer 20:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
You're right Ontario, Flutie never did a drop kick convert in the CFL. I have been watching the CFL for many years and i have never seen anyone do a drop kick convert! He may have attempted a drop kick once, perhaps at the end of a game with the hope that someone on his team would recuperate the ball, but Flutie was perhaps too good with his running ability and arm to need to attempt a drop kick. Certainly he practiced doing the drop kick during his time in the CFL, that is all I could say. Stettlerj 22:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm confused. The article states that a drop kick "...involves a player dropping the ball and then kicking it when it bounces off the ground. It contrasts to a punt, wherein the player kicks the ball without letting it hit the ground first." However, Flutie clearly punted the ball. There was no bounce. Was his kick really a drop kick? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.123.160.115 ( talk) 13:32, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Due to the aggressive nature of the NFL's copyright protection, clips of this kick can be tough to find online, and in my experience are of poor quality when found. This may lead to the confusion here, but Flutie definitely performed the drop kick properly; the ball did hit the ground. The kick WAS simultaeneous to the ball contacting the ground, but it definitely does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hevato ( talk • contribs) 20:51, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Can anyone back up the claim that a Grey Cup was won on a rouge that came from a drop kick? Stettlerj 23:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Did Calvillo perform a drop kick? As I recall the ball did not touch the ground, making it a punt rather than a drop kick. Qutezuce 07:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I have seen it referred to as having been a drop kick. Anyone have a video to verify? Stettlerj 08:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I checked The Sports Network's highlights and I agree with you. Calvillo punted the ball on 3rd down, he did not drop kick it. I'll remove the reference to it.

Well, first thing I can see is that Mike Ditka (who if I'm not mistaken, was a coach), is listed in the article, so by Gator1's logic, Bill Belichick should be in the article as well. -- OntarioQuizzer 17:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. The current state of the section is acceptable as is. Gator (talk) 20:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
This is a runon sentance and should be fixed.
Arena league to draw from, and the play would in any event occur too seldom to seem to be worth the amount of practice time that would have to be devoted to it for it to be executed at any real level of proficiency; in practice a pass off of the rebound nets above the endlines which, if completed, would result in six points and a win for the team down by four points, rather than a tie and overtime, probably has at least an equal and possibly a superior chance of success.
As far as I know Flutie was listed behind Brady all year; Cassel was 3rd.
