Adam Vinatieri (Merge)

[bhougland]

I wonder what lame excuse Pat Mcafee is going to make this time.  Worst part about it is the sympathizer will say "Pat said that it is really hard to kick when people are talking in the stands, the fans need to do thier part.."  What a bunch of *s.

[MarquisJ]

Imagine signing Hoyer over Kaep and having Adam Vinatieri as your kicker. Yeah that’s us.

[TheMiz]

Vinny needs to be gone tomorrow. End of story.

[NannyMcafee]

Retire vinny. You've cost us 3 games. Retire. Please freakin retire because it's clear the team wont cut you. Help everyone out. 

[jbaron04]

Adam and team put out that he has injured knee and put him on IR allow team and him to save face 

[coming on strong]

this has to be the worst season a kicker has had in nfl history .

[sfergson727]

Vinnie needs to be cut.  NOW

[The Old Crow]

Very sad last year. He is a HOF kicker, and all time great. . This reminds me of Johnny Unitas with the Chargers , and Willy Mays with the Mets. 

[cdgacoltsfan]

I say let him play out the season and miss 22 kicks or so...by far a well deserved NFL record.

[dw49]

I thought he missed from 39 also. I think if it was from 40 , he may have clanked it ? Pretty sure he will very soon announce his retirement. What a terrible way to go out.

[Mr.Debonair]

Why the hell do we need to let him finish the season? 

[wig]

There's no way around it now. He has to go.

Agreed. It is sad to watch. 

[Detectacon]

Still waiting for his advocates to come to his defense...... Pretty sure I hear crickets. 

[krunk]

His field goals kept us in it, but his damn consistent missing of the extra points sunk us.

We were in field goal range at the end, but the missed XP kept us out of it.

[James]

Sorted from worst to first, here is every single kicker in NFL history with more than 20 XP attempts in a season.

 

No one has less than 75% kicking (yes I know they moved it back, but its still less than a 40 yarder).

 

Vinny is now 13/20 on the year, or in other words, the worst XP Kicking season of all time!

 

 

[FanFromtheWasteland]

Hope all you Blue Glass wearers are so happy with your over the hill, unreliable kicker. Better luck next year. Told you so. Hahahahahahaha

I just don't happen to think the loss is on him.    Yes, he missed an extra point.  Yes, it's disappointing,  yes....  he's been inconsistent....     

 

But...………..  the losses are not all on him.  If so....   it would just be a game between two kickers.

It's a team sport.   not a contest between kickers.

 

Our team, our coaches, our play calling are all to blame today.

 

You wanted to hear from Adam's advocates.....

 

That's my stance, and  the last thing I'm going to say on it.  

 

Gramz out...  til next game. 

[presto123]

He will be released before the next game. I'll be shocked if he isn't.

You’ve got to be kidding me right? I’m glad it’s the last thing you’re going to say because it’s a weak stance and you know it. Good grief...... smh

We will crush that record and set a new modern day standard....go Vinny!

Get your shocked face ready. Reich already said he is behind Adam.

Good

[DrColtsFan]

Had anyone seen Sanchez try extra points?  Could he really be worse?

[IndyMike]

How much more will Vinny wreck our season?   Every other guy has to be account for their performance but somehow Vinny gets a pass?   Vinny PLEASE retire before you cost us more games!!

[SSColts]

Even if he hit the extra point, some of us are under the assumption that he was going to hit the FG to tie the game. That would've been from about extra point length so we all know how that goes...

After Chuck stepped on his foot!

[King Colt]

Every person who has ever lived gets older and with age comes physical and mental decline. It is not a pleasant fact but when some try desperately to deny it they only serve to harm themselves. Vinateri needs to clean out his locker now. 

[midwest]

Im asking because i don't know, not because I'm sticking up for Vinny......What options are out there right now, does anyone know.  I agree he needs to go but if there is nobody out there who can do a better job then what is next?

[Whitey]

I agree.  AV needs to go.  And right now.  Its simply game after game after game with him.  They cant make any more excuses.  At this point anybody would be better.

 

[Thunderbolt]

Let Vinny stay, the season is lost anyway with the qb's that we have.  At least we'll get a top 5 pick if Vinny stays, thanks Reich.

[coltfaninnewyork]

He needs to walk away make it easy for colts

Chuck was also pummeled by George Foreman and Sonny Liston. 

[Sumo63]

Hard to preach accountability to a young locker room while letting a dude ride on his past success.  He has built a hall of fame career in the past, he will be inducted in the future, but at present he's assassinating a team with zero margin for error.  I know that sounds harsh but this team is on the cusp of a breakdown,  it's in a tailspin and management is in danger of losing this locker room........they need a shakeup.  Just my opinion.

At this point who cares? Give somebody, give anybody, a shot.

[midwest]

I'm just asking, how many people are walking around and available that could do better.  I am not a super fan who knows all the people out there who are available, on practice squads, etc. Just genuinely like to know if there is anyone you guys have in mind.  I don't know if Rigo was kicking field goals in college or not.

[NannyMcafee]

If we keep vinny the remainder if the year will be a 50-50 on any FG or XP. 

[cdgacoltsfan]

If Colts mgt and coaching staff are happy enough to trot this guy out there game after game then there isn't much we as fans can do at this point.
