I haven't read the entire thread, but Vinatieri completed 80% or LESS of his FGs in eight different seasons.
Also to Vinatieri's "clutchness", people forget he single handily lost several games either in 1999 or 2000 where he missed last second field goals that would have won or tied the game. He wasn't always clutch.
Gostkowski is having a down year, but most kickers have bad years even the best ones. It is one of the streakiest positions in football.
....not to mentioned two failed attempts in SB 38.
This whole subject really shows how some of the younger fans have a Disney Channel view of history sometimes.
Everyone remembers 2001 - - and I love Vinny for that. Funny how everyone forgets who literally won the first Jets game 5 weeks ago with a 43 yarder to tie with no left in regulation and then the winning points on a 48 yarder in OT.
Not clutch at all.
Folks, Evolution happened. Man DID walk on the moon - - it wasn't a TV studio. Gostkowski's percentages are better than Vinatieri's.
