Dis you see the falcons game. We had a guy named KOO in for a tryout at the beginning of season. He made all his kicks yesterday for the falcons. 

Koi is not an answer anymore

I was responding to the person saying you can’t find anyone better then Vinny. Well the falcons did.

[shasta519]

What are these choices? It was a bad call...and not the “first” bad call he has made. He’s a great GM...but not flawless. 

[Thunderbolt]

If AV doesn't get released, Colts obviously don't care about winning.  This is a business, cut the man and try to improve on the team and get some wins....

There is one reason Koo was still available his inconsistency

Having that thought says VOLUMES!! I never use to worry about XP's but now.....

When we got in the end zone  my first thought  was watch vinny miss and he did.

Or put on IR or convinced to retire or something

[Thunderbolt]

Yeah!!! Hope Vinny read some of these posts to make up his mind quick....

Vinny did not lose us this game.

He didn't help and he has cost us points in 6 of the nine games this year.

The problem is that right now that might be an upgrade from Adam.  Adam has been at best inconsistent this season and is becoming dangerously close to consistently bad, especially on extra points, and the Colts can’t afford to keep giving away those points.

That’s correct it’s become a repeated problem.  Just because he wasn’t the biggest problem on Sunday (that was Hoyer IMO) doesn’t mean you just ignore Adam being a repeated problem.

He is no longer available so stop name dropping

Still think the kid we had during the preseason should be brought in

I didn’t bring up that name but there are other kickers out there who are probably  on same level as Yoo.  My bigger point is Adam is on that level and is no longer so far above the guys out there that you can’t consider bringing one in.

Agreed as for Hoyer once Brissett is back the QB id be  cutting is Hoyer.

Vinny has missed 5 field goal attempts, but what is more concerning is that he's missed 6 extra point attempts.

 

I think most of the kickers that are available would be an instant upgrade to the extra point issues, (those should be automatic) and would be on par with Vinny, if not better, at kicking field goals. It's clearly time to move on.

I agree. Even I can make the extra points.

I know you didn’t 

   My point was that at this point the only guys available have major flaws

 

        The guys that have some promise are under contract In the CFL or XFL

He was also 1 of 4 from kicks 40+ yards in 2017.  Yesterday he had one FG over 40 yards. 

 

Not saying who is better because I don't really care.  The answer to who is ultimately better for the rest of 2019 would take time to play out and the fact of the matter is, it could go worse if we dropped Vinny and signed Koo. 

 

That being the case, it's entirely reasonable sticking with Vinny. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't...

This is likely an owner issue.  JMO.

On the last drive a field goal would have tied the game if our kicker kicks a freaking extra point. This loss is squarely on him

But he contributed to the loss. Whenever you are in position to score, such as a field goal or extra point attempt, and you miss, that directly contributes to the final outcome. As has been pointed out, if he makes the extra point, then the Colts can tie the score with a FG, rather than needing a touchdown. That is significant.

Then you and I must have watched a different game. 

Which had a bigger impact on us losing the game, One point or three interceptions? 1 point or throwing 2/10 midway through the 2nd quarter? 1 point or not throwing to a wide open Pascal and throwing to a triple covered tight end? Vinny is missing kicks and its hurting the team but the loss is not on him. Like stated previously even if we do tie the game and go to overtime we could barely move the ball against a team that's been trying to lose. This loss is on Hoyer and Reich for not pulling him out of the game.

[The Oopty Oop]

It's not like I'd ever quit watching or cheering for the colts because I bleed blue but every day vinatieri is still on the team I just get more and more upset. There is no reason for a kicker to blow 3 games and still have a job on any team in this league. You can find anyone to be that bad. The clutch factor he has is gone.

I’d have to agree here, Vinny sucked yesterday, but Hoyer is by far the biggest reason we lost. Man can’t even manage a game ffs

[LuckyHorseShoe§]

Here’s an idea:

-Vinny retires or “retires” whichever one

-New kicker is signed

-Vinny becomes our kicking coach and helps the new guy

Seems like a win-win to me

Also, do the Eagles still need CB help? I’d trade them Quincy Wilson for Jake Elliott in a heartbeat, though I doubt they’d take it.

I guarantee they won't take the deal, considering the trade deadline has passed.

Well good for the Falcons, Koo doesn’t help us anymore. Also, one game with good kicking does not make you a solution to a kicking problem

The post has nothing to do with this game, its a poll about your thoughts involving Ballard and Vinny. If your feeling pertain to any of the answers vote, if not all good, but this is a convo for another thread

Are you a mod now? Where is the rule that says poll threads are for the poll and zero discussion? Lol

If two Vinny threads is a problem, the mods will merge them

I love how everyone is saying that Ballard made a big mistake when only a few people were saying that signing Vinny was a mistake when it actually happened. C'mon guys, be consistent

I didnt like it when they brought him back in the off season, there were plenty of others saying the same.  he finished poorly last year too

I was literally thinking the exact same thing yesterday. We should give Vinny 75% of his remaining salary to become a kicking coach. One thing the fans don't see is the locker room. If you watch the videos, Vinny is a locker room leader. I love having him and his experience in there. However, we cannot afford to have him on the field anymore. We just can't. This would be the best thing to do

I at least respect that very much, even if I think it wasn't really a good argument given the information we had at the time

I also did not want him back. Yet the vast majority said the most obvious decision Ballard had to make was to resign AV. The decision to sign him was often referred to as a "no-brainer"

Just trying to keep my post on a linear conversation about Ballards decision to re-sign vinny and not get into the game but it doesn't really matter. No i am not a mod no need to get hostile lol relax

[FRW]

I have to believe there is someone out there who can make PATs. We would have won two of our lost games if we were perfect on PATs.
