Default Gostkowski v. Vinatieri

Thankfully, I think that thread can officially die now. Letting Vinatieri go clearly didn't cost the Pats this game.

Gostkowski gave us a bumpy first few weeks, but, all in all, he's a keeper.

I was very happy that the Vinitraitor didn't come into play here. I was sick and tired of hearing about him this past week. Great game by Steven, and a much better Rookie season than Adam's was, I might add!!!

He would've been one of the storylines if the Pats had managed to pull it out. Very proud of him, he made some huge kicks in the playoffs, and he definitely proved himself.

Gostkowski came very close to being the hero. Put us up 34-31. Drilled the next kickoff deep into the endzone for a touchback. Pinned them at the 20. We get a 3 and out. Run the clock out..oops..well we know what happened.

ESPN couldn't help itself and brought up having AV as a factor after the game. The kickers clearly offset each other they need to let it go.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

I don't think Gostkowski missed a FG in the playoffs, he is a keeper.

Well, they were actually about even, but given the shoes he had to fill, I give the edge to Gostkowski. [OTOH, my memory's a bit hazy here . . . how did AV blow three PATs his rookie season?]

No, he didn't. See my sig.

No, it turned out to be letting Dan Klecko go

Gostkowski matched AV kick for kick. He definitely wasn't the problem tonight and he also helped our field position by getting a few touchbacks. Something AV is incapable of doing.

Blowing a 21-3 lead was bad enough, if it had been amplified by Gotti blowing it, that would have been a disaster. Gotti was excellent all post season and is clearly the long term answer.
