Matt Gay has a new injury lmao

Gotta cut him 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

They need to put him on IR and just let him get healthy.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Isn’t it funny whenever he misses a kick he is on the injury report the next week.

[G8R]

On the other hand, nice to see Downs and several secondary at full go.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

He probably never should have kicked last week. The fact he goes on the injury report after he missed pretty much says he isn’t healthy.

[John Waylon]

It would be easier to say he has a new injury than admit they #ed up rushing him back from the last one…

Shrader is kicking better anyway.

We don't know that yet. But I wouldn't say he won't if given the chance. I watched him warm up before the Texans game, and he was hitting 60 plus.

Will I do know Matt has missed a lot of kicks. I haven’t seen Shrader miss one yet.

Lol... because he hasn't kicked one yet. And Matt has missed 1 this season. So, like I said- we don't know that Shrader is better. I won't say he can't be, but I won't bet on it either.

 

[Patrick Miller]

How many did Matt miss last year? Didn’t he miss some kicks in preseason as well?

He kicked game one but I think they were all extra points.

Said it weeks back and was slammed, Matt Gay is toast, time to IR him and be done with the games

[Goatface Killah]

I dont understand the Matt Gay hate.

 

Historically I believe 50 yard FGs are about a 65-67% kick.

 

Last year 5 of his 8 misses were from 50+.

 

He was 8-13 from 50+, which is about 62%. He was 25-28 on the rest of his kicks which is almost 90%. If he was battling injuries I think that would explain why he stuggled more with longer kicks.

Yeah they weren't going to kick a fieldgoal with him unless they absolutely had to.

I don’t think they  ever  got in position to kick a FG.

Yeah I was right when I looked back we were never at point he needed to kick s FG outside extra points. 
 

Gosh looking back at that Texans game scoring 4 TD was really good and that missed two points was the difference.

 Can’t.   Big salary cap implications.   He might need to go IR for 4 weeks.

Thank you.   
 

I’d add that I think all but 1 or 2 of his misses either hit the upright or the cross bar.  So when he missed last year, he BARELY missed.  

[GoColts8818]

I am still in the wait and see camp on Gay.  I’ll agree he hasn’t lived up to his contract so far, although he hasn’t been as awful as some make him out to be either, but his contract also makes it hard to release him right now.  Also, if he’s been legit injured that could very well explain his struggles.  Just wait and see for me.  

[cdgacoltsfan]

I was in Buffalo last year for the first pre season games and Matt's very first fg attempt ( I think it was 40 yards) was wide right. I've had bad vibes ever since.

Is it actually a new injury or did he just re-aggravate the hernia? Either way he should’ve been placed on IR after surgery to give him time to heal.

Me to Ballard when he signed this dude for mega $$

He hasn't  been that good other than the 1 game he won last year.

You know who is also kicking better?

 

Chase McLaughlin. 
 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I think the biggest problem people have about Gay is, the amount of money we paid him. Pay a Kicker that much, you expect him to be a top 3 Kicker in the league. He is now always injured and missing kicks.

[1959Colts]

With all the other teams kickers being nearly "automatic"

...here's an article on raising the crossbar and/or narrow uprights. LOL

He has been good, he just hasnt been great. Probably because he has struggled to stay healthy.
