Adam Vinatieri made all 5 field goals Sunday and has converted 38 in a row...

[Darth Despot]

For the record I was just teasing Darth who is pretending that Vinitari is dead to him.

It's getting really hard to maintain my AV hate since the Colts suck so hard now, can you talk to the candy man (Irsay) about this. It's making me less strong.

I never understood the AV hate. He was an awesome kicker for the Patriots going back to the Parcells years. He made the most amazing kick in Patriots history, we all know the story.

It's at the point now where he's been a Colt longer than being a Patriot. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, the Patriots didn't want to pay him long term. Another team did so he left. Playing in a dome, at minimum 8 games per, has probably contributed to his longevity given the circumstances. Would love to still have him here though

Happy for the guy, but a little bittersweet given Ghost has apparently decided to test the barriers of full retard for the past few months...

 

[Big/Sky/Fly]

I was mad for a while that he left for another team...but, he absolutely helped the Pats get a few rings...so, it's dumb to hate him.

What if AV missed those kicks?

AV set the record today going two for two.

 

[HSanders]

saw that earlier, congrats to him.

And Ghost misses another PAT.

The Auburn kicker is the best I've seen in years. Just sayin...

As of this weekend's game, Vinatieri will have played more games for the Colts than he did for the Pats (currently at 160 for each).

Didn't we have AV when we had Poodle Pete for a coach?

I distinctly remember him missing a FG that would have won us the game against KC one year and I'm almost certain Petey was the coach back then...

That's regular season. Total games still favors the Pats: 17 post-season games for the Pats, 13 for the Colts.

Based on the Colts performance on the field and in the draft and free agency, he might be stuck on 13 for a while.

 

[HSanders]

Gosh I thought he was already past the amount of games he played as a Pat.

I wonder if he would have had a career at all if not for NFLE?

Yes it was against the Chiefs in 1999. I'm pretty sure he missed two game winners that year. 8-8 looks a lot worse than 10-6. Imagine if he hit those kicks and Carroll kept his job?

EDIT: He missed a couple late game attempts to tie the game at home against the Bills that year too.
