LuckyHorseShoe§ Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yes. I’ve learned not to doubt Mr. V when it comes to clutch kicks, especially in the playoffs. To be fair though I would have a little more confidence in someone like Justin Tucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes his leg strength has not been an issue since he’s been here. He’s hit more than his fair share of 50 plus field goals with room to spare including going 4 of 6 from 50+ this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 57 is pretty far, If Vinny is kicking in a dome I would feel great if it was from 50 or so, outside of 55 is always iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not guaranteed for any, but after some of the field goals I saw from Vinny, maybe it is time to get a younger kicker. I definitely appreciate everything he brought to this team, sucks he has to age. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are driving down the field. Remember how the Colts went nearly a first half without a first down? Then they were down 24-7. The run went out the window at that point because of time and score. I am not saying Frank Reich wasn’t out coached but the guys on the field didn’t play well either. You can’t ignore that just fit your narrative. The Pats guys are playing much better than the Colts did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezyColt Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Absolutely not. But you could put a list of the 31 other kickers in front of me and get the same answer. At 57 yards it's way too high of a risk to be confident that anyone would hit it. I might give it a shot, but wouldn't be confident. However, I'm still more confident having Vinatieri making kicks than I would be with all but a select few kickers in the NFL. If he wants to come back I'm all for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to go younger In a dome, I have 100% confidence in Vinny. 57 yards is a long way for any kicker, but I'd put AV out there with as much confidence as any other kicker from that distance in a dome setting. 1 hour ago, Introspect said: No chance does AV make that.... Father Time is undefeated. The old man is coming fast for AV.... Cut bait As @Hammer said, Vinny was consistently hitting from 60+ in practice and warm-ups. Vinny has as good a chance as anyone to make that kick, especially with a good hold in a dome. 55 minutes ago, 2006Coltsbestever said: 57 is pretty far, If Vinny is kicking in a dome I would feel great if it was from 50 or so, outside of 55 is always iffy. Exactly.. no kicker is going to be hitting 55+ yarders consistently. If the game is on the line, and its in a dome, I trust AV as much as any kicker in the league to take that chance with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewColtsFan Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ahh..... another Sunday and another nonsensical post from our favorite poster... Here's how ridiculous it is... FACT: Vinnie kicked 4 field goals of longer than 50 yards this year. 51, 53, 54 and 54 yards. And I'm confident that at least 3 of them would've been good from 60. They hit up on the screen... they cleared the cross bar with ease. I appreciate that ths was so long ago, that some of you can't remember that. All you can remember is Vinnie's last game. So, let's deal with that.... Vinnie was (1) kicking outdoors... where (2) it was cold and (3) windy, and (4) raining and (5) the field conditions were crappy. Where Zuerlein was (1) kicking indoors... where (2) it was a comfortable 68-72 degrees and (3) no wind at all, and (4) not windy and (5) the field conditions were.... PERFECT. That's what the OP compares. Hardly a fair comparison, but par for the course with this poster. Yes, I'd have complete faith in Vinnie. And, HELL YES, Frank would have complete faith in Vinnie. And anyone who says otherwise literally has no idea what they're talking about. Look.... Vinnie wants to come back and Ballard says he wants him back. What's left is the contract details. Vinnie might not make it. Even with a new contract (approx $2.5 Mill per) Vinnie could get outplayed by whomever we bring in. It could happen. No way to know until the pre-season is done and the final cutdowns are announced. But would Frank have confidece in Vinnie to kick a 57 yard field goal indoors today? Yes. Simply stated..... yes. Can we put this nonsense to rest now? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbear Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If the point is that Vinnie might have a bit more difficulty kicking a 57 yarder today than 10 years ago so we should not re-sign him......well, that's just silly imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four2itus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Well, I have to admit, the post, playoff run finger pointing is not as bad this year as it has been in the past when the season ended. In all, it seems quite chipper! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
