Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted yesterday at 08:09 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 08:09 PM 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Waylon Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago It would be easier to say he has a new injury than admit they #ed up rushing him back from the last one… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Goatface Killah Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when he missed last year, he BARELY missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdgacoltsfan Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which explains why it's mostly unreasonable. However, I don't understand why they're putting him out there right now. He's evidently hurt, and he needs some time to get right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. The money really isn’t an issue to me, tbh. First of all, our ultra frugal GM makes sure to leave plenty of unused cap space, so it’s not like we need that money elsewhere. Second, with the way the cap increases every year that deal’s percentage of cap space shrinks every year, and even at its highest %, it was peanuts. While everyone else lost their minds about the deal being a record for a kicker that has always been a nonstarter for me, and in the grand scheme it’s not a huge deal. Not getting what we paid for is another story, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustexColt Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Ballard bust again on paying kicker. We don't have a ST coach that knows and we don't have scouting team that know how to evaluate kickers. We cut Matt Prater who is top 5 and getting paid less than Gay. What a joke? Why don't they make Adam Vinatieri a scout? Change a ST coach because he is worthless. There are better college kickers and punters than what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
