I dont think they can stop us offensively. Defense needs to adjust and tighten up

Move on to whom?

 

Idk Chargers are getting good kicks from their punter.

Should be 13-10 Chargers right now...

[Malakai432]

Game should be 17-10 easy, unacceptable.  

[John Waylon]

Seems AV always struggles against the Chargers. 

[mahagga73]

Vinny was shaky last year.  They decided to keep on with him. So it is what it is. 

[chad hugo]

Brissett has been pretty good so far

 

12-14 for 112 yards and TD

 

Not bad

Vinny stinks today

He was showing signs of this coming to a head last season too, maybe not in misses but just had several that were just in one side or another. I hope AV realizes this is last season and he doesn’t force the team to not resign him. He has done a lot for this team over the years, I’m not mad at him.

The offense looks pretty good. We just can’t get the dang ball.

Ok I think it's time to move on from AV.

Well...I and a few others said this last pre season when we had Badgley.

 

 

[zibby43]

Sometimes kickers miss, but AV isn't striking the ball well.

Wow. Should be 17-10. AV is putting us out of this game

Correction, should be 13-10.

[CamMo]

We can blame the entire special teams. But it’s a sad day when Vinny goes out for a 46 yarder and I half expect him to miss.

[James]

Could have been only a TD down if not for Vinny failing again and again.

Ok... So everytime we get smthng going... We're going to shoot ourselves in the foot.... 

Yeah.  THis is what put such pressure on QB's.  You don't have confidence in your kicker so you try to force it downfield.  Need Vinny to get his head together and quick!

[Blueblood23]

Vinnie getting his practice in now. He didn't kick in the preseason.

[LuckyHorseShoe§]

[coltsva]

This game would be 17-10 if we had the Chargers punter kicking for us.

[waka waka]

easily could be a 10-13 game right now i think this young team has played well. JB has looked good some good throws from him today hopefully we will get more pressure on Rivers. 

[w87r]

Carly Lloyd anyone?

[Stephen]

Why is parris  Campbell  not involved  in the offense

The irony here sucks. 

[Introspect]

Vinny is just old.... And this is his first of 8 missed FG's this year...

[Mr.NotSoCreative]

Little late in the process for that.     Probably his last year though

Unfortunately maybe a year too late. Down 7 and getting ball back would have been very acceptable on the road week 1. 

[Sumo63]

Death by a thousand cuts in that first half.......jacoby looks to be in command.  That's nice to see today.  Vinny's killing me tho, lol, cmon! 

[HungarianColtsFan]

Well folks... whatever could go wrong in a football game, that went wrong so far...

[rockywoj]

First half of the first game.  Kind of laughing at all the panic. 

 

Brissett is looking good!

My only gripe thus far, is the Colts needs a new kicker.

 

I started a thread to that effect toward the end of last season.  Most posters here treated me like a heretic for it.

 

The time comes in every athlete’s career.  And AV’s came some time in the last 12 months or so.  We could’ve had Badgley last year — and should’ve.

 

It was a mistake by Ballard, rooted in sentimentality.

[DraftMaster]

2nd half adjustments. This is where Reich shines. Brissett can drive, the defense just needs to tighten up.

[Gramz]

JB is looking good I think.

 

Hate to see my guy missing those kicks though.

 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Wow! Vinny missed again. Can't win games doing that. Down 17-6 at half. The defensive penalty gives them 7 instead of 3 and then Vinny misses an extra point and a FG, that is just point swings you can't have to beat good teams. This could easily be a 13-10 game but instead we are down 17-6.

Exactly 

[Aces101]

Just like the playoff game - Vinatieri needed to retire in the offseason and let us use move forward with a young kicker.  Just because he wanted to play this season, I guess the Colts just went along with it.

[Anonymous]

Adam Vinateri is one of my favorite athletes ever not just because of his stellar play as a kicker but because of all the charitable things he's done off the field.

 

That being said, this is painful to watch the Chargers punter kicking better than Vinateri.

Vinny is shot. When you try to hang in there at his age, you risk going out less than impressive... and that's what is happening. We cannot afford for him to cost us games this season.

We can’t get the ball enough.
