Popular Post Scott Pennock Posted September 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2023 For all those folks that made fun of the front office for signing him to such a “large” contract…… How you like him now? Is he a “weapon”? Four 50+ kicks in one game including the game winner. Special Teams can win or lose games and his leg just won this one. Time for some of y’all to eat some crow…. 18 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2BeHere Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Well, we haven’t been able to rely on a kicker since good ol Vinny days…Matt Gay has my respect today indeed. We would have been “Blank”enshipped if we had our most recent longest tenured previous kicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckColtsFan Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 When we signed Gay I was very pleased. After years of watching kickers lose us games we now have that 1 to 3 game edge that can be the difference between playoffs or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#12. Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Awesome clutch kicks from Gay. Gotta give credit to Ballard for signing him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv_pony_express Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I’ll never understand fans griping about spending a little money on a reliable kicker with range. There aren’t that many of them and they often factor decisively in close games. After watching AV’s last couple years and Hot Rod after year 1 (which was good, but showed limited range), I was thrilled when we signed Matt Gay.

I dont think s lot of people were as down on the signing as u think. Most people knew we needed a Kicker, and even the highest paid Kicker eats so little of the cap. So I think your anger is misdirected lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He simply said to those who didn’t like the signing. The ouster didn’t inky how many. And we’ve had a handful who didn’t like the signing including several right around the end of training camp.

AV won a playoff game. That wins the argument alone, not to mention he scored all the Colts points that day. The only thing Gay has on him was that four of his were from beyond 50 yards but a playoff game trumps a regular season game anytime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShuteAt168 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Thing about Gay is he looks so darn calm and collected, and then BOOM right down the middle. Dude is cool for real for a kicker. Who cares if someone criticized the signing? Gay is 100 percent Horseshoe Guy now and will remain Horseshoe Guy until he misses a big field goal and then we’ll be questioning the contract.

Yoshinator Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I loved this signing at the start of Free Agency. This is how you sign a FA. Get a top 3 kicker in the league for nothing but cash. I was very happy we did this, considering our K situation recently. This game alone shows that contract was worth it. Gay won us this game almost by himself. He's the best kicker we've had since Veniteri IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkbrux Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 So many people here, and elsewhere online, were freaking out about Gay missing a short field goal in the preseason. Thought that was laughable then, and even moreso now. A lot of folks like to make fun of kickers and punters, which never makes any sense to me, because they make more of a direct impact on whether a team wins and loses than many other positions on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they score points by themselves. Of course there needs to be blocking and a hold, but points from a kicker are based on their execution and no one else's...unlike a TD.

Hawkeyecolt Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The amount of people who were so over the top about a kicker being the first signing of the offseason was ridiculous. Like it matters what order players are signed. The salary cap is skyrocketing. The Colts have a QB on a rookie contract. Ballard went out and put an important position to bed for the foreseeable future. McGlaughlin would not have made all of those kicks yesterday. Don’t even get me going on Rodrigo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
