Vinatieri takes blame for off-day vs. Rams....

[NewColtsFan]

 

A Mike Wells story.....

 

Vinatierri says he thought his field goal was good.   Surprised when it hit the upright.

 

Thinks he over-compensated on the extra point.      

 

Says the misses are all his fault, and not that of his teammates,  Rhodes, the new long snapper,  or Sanchez, the new holder.

 

Here's the story.....

 not surprised,   he is the ultimate pro.   That beat  down had nothing to do with him

It was the perfect time for him to have an off day. We should feel lucky he didn't waste his good kicks in that game.

What???? His job is to makes kicks, regardless of what other facets of the team are doing.

If you look at AVs career, every once in a while, he'll have an off day where he misses stupid easy stuff. But then when the games on the line on another day, he's money.

So you're perfect at your job every day?

 

News Flash McFly, everybody has an off day at work. I do, you do, and anyone reading this forum does. 

 

It works out best when we have off days that don't matter anyway. We should be so lucky when that happens.

 If you want to pump that sunshine,

go for it. He sucked just Ike the team did, Simple!

See I don't get why players themselves will admit when they had off days but everyone on this board immediately went on about how the holds were bad when he missed. Vinateri is a class act.

[VaAllDay757]

Yeah I didn't see nothing wrong with thr holder AV just didn't kick it right

[ReMeDy]

It's an interesting coincidence Adam had an off-day when everyone else did, too. Did someone spike the Colts Gatorade, or something? Literally not a single person did anything right all game. Even Chuck Pagano screwed up in his post-game press conference, referring to our opponents as the 49'ers!

I've never seen a display of football so poor on all facets, top to bottom.

What a class thing to say, lol.

He's a kicker and trying to take the Blame for a 35 point Blowout.

Give us a Break!

In fact, the last time I remember he missed an easy kick was week 2 against the Jets in 2015. After that, he didn't miss a kick the rest of the season, and if I recall, I believe it was from that point on that he started the longest streak of made field goals ever.

Time to start another such streak!

  Interesting that we can all see it was an individual that missed those kicks...surprised no one has blamed Pagano yet...
