[VaAllDay757]

I don't believe in the laces theory....he kicked the ball terribly period there's no excuse

I was wrong.  I don’t know if there is a better kicker out there right now but the Colts have to find out.

 

I did not believe for a second that he would make it.

Look, I don't trust Vinny much either, but the laces were in. Not many kickers are gonna make that at all.

 

I agree.  That miss is more on Sanchez than Vinny.

 

But it’s still past time for Vinny to hang it up.

[Jdubu]

He has to be cut on Monday, has to. What message does it show that any player can keep missing their assignments and still be your starter? It’s more real now, he lost a game for you and he lost your team first place in the division. If he doesn’t go, it shows a weakness of both Reich and CB that they will stand for mediocrity on the team.

His foot dug into the ground....that's why he missed so badly...maybe seeing the laces freaked him out......greatest of all time has to do better

[Derakynn]

It was only a matter of time before this was going to happen. Literally can not trust the kicking unit at all at this point. Every kick, no matter the distance, seems to be extremely questionable whether it will be made.

I've been defending Vinny all season, but he's really showing his age. Wouldn't be a bad idea to look at some alternative options

 

I can’t understand why anybody has been defending him.  He’s been a growing problem going back to last season.  It’s painfully obvious.

[Mr.Debonair]

Laces out don’t cause you to miss that badly cut it out

Then I guess you're done, because he will be. Count on it. But I agree--he's washed up.

On second watch, you're right. My mistake.

[a06cc]

He is Grandfather’d in. However if they decide to move on than its time.

[Nesjan3]

i think its on Ballard for not letting him go

[cdgacoltsfan]

If they don't get another kicker...im done watching this year...totsl b/s

No you're not.    He will be here,  and you'll be back

[21isSuperman]

His stats this year are the worst of his career for both FG% and PAT% made.  Love Vinny and he means a lot to this organization, but it seems like the time has come.

I didn't see the contact with the ground before the ball at first. Yeah, bad kick.

[1959Colts]

Please retire before you ruin the season.

Unfortunately, one person on a website means nothing. It will take an absolute uproar imho to make that evident that the fan base is tired of this passive approach to holding players of choice accountable. Should have won this game and even after all the mistakes, Vinny couldn’t hit a FG that 85% of any other nfl kicker would have hit blindfolded.

I think it’s the holder and snapper. At least has something to do with it. It’s not all on Adam. 

I do believe, regardless of laces, he chunked the dirt before hitting the ball. Vinny is through the wall of over the hill. Cut him. 

[Thunderbolt]

They're both at fault, the holder and Vinny, and the holder(Sanchez)should know better about the laces being away from the kicker, he's been in the league long enough.....Need to find a kicker out there to replace Vinny, he's costing us the game, game after game...

If you watch the replay he dug into the ground too soon.  He did the samething vs Miami last year.  NFL level kickers don’t do that once let alone twice inside of a calendar year.  Again, I don’t know if there is a better kicker out there right now but the Colts have to find out.

[ThorstenDenmark]

come on man... you cost me 4500$ in betting with that missed kick... cut the old man

[EastStreet]

cost us 5 pts today and the game.... 

 

2pts - 1XP + created a need to go for 2 later which we missed

3pts - missed FG... he dippsy doo'd it. 

 

love Adam, but cut the cord 

[Creekside]

 

Colts with a kicker who can make 43 yd field goals would be 7-1.

 

Colts with AV are 5-3.

[masterlock]

Dude misses a kick practically every game. Odds of him making the kick are basically the same as a coin flip.

[NorthernBlue]

I don’t know man. I’ll defend a slump but at some point he’s gotta get outta it and he really hasn’t aside from a decent mid season stretch between the falcons and Texans game.

[strt182]

The game should have never come down to the kick anyways. 

This was a team loss with the helps of the boys in stripes.

this wasn't a game i would have touched with all the different story lines and injuries.

But yes you do kick the tires on bringing in competition.

Hopefully this is a joke , however word of thumb never bet more then you are willing to lose. Just like loaning family money.

[Colts Fan In L.A.]

Hes god awful this season. Time to say farewell

 No, not at all. Vinny has one single job to do and he failed his part. That game was there to take. Don’t defend a guy who has shown he is failing his job several attempts now. He is just like N unreliable RB with fumbling issues and needs to be cut. It’s time, it’s past time. Way past time.

well I had 12 games and all went home, but then Adam Vinatieri happened  so instead of winning 4500$ I got zero from my 100$ bet 

[stitches]

What a horrible way to go out.  Vinny didn't deserve this type of ending but it's the ending he and the Colts FO chose, so...

Oh got ya. Man for a second there I was thinking who would take any line with the colts in Pitt.

I’ll root for Adam if he’s here next week too.  I don’t think anyone wants to see him fail.  The question is because of his failing should he be here? 

[il vecchio]

If any other player had cost us two games this season they'd be gone tomorrow.

[John Waylon]

Not that many of you need help looking like fools but

 

 

“But but but but! He kicked the ground!”

 

He was waiting on Rigo to turn the damn thing like he’s supposed to. When he just sat there with the laces in like a wall-eyed cat his hesitation turned into bad mechanics. It’s one problem causing another.
