[FortressX]

Good job AV !

Adam Vinatieri became the NFL's career field goal leader Sunday when he made a 42-yarder to help the Indianapolis Colts close within 21-10 with 2 seconds left in the first half Sunday.

Adam Vinatieri breaks NFL's field goal record with No. 566

He's dead to me ...........

 

[lancerman]

I kinda thought it would be nice if it happened against us. Preferably in a blow out win against the Colts they drag him out for a meaningless field goal where he can get a standing ovation

 

[VectorPrime]

If we don’t let him go we kick that FG in Super Bowl 42 and who knows what happens.

 

[Boomer B]

Best kicker in the history of the game

 

[VegasGuy]

Bad call

 

[Patjew]

I still love that man.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Yes, he's made 566 FG's and yes, of course, he should and will go into the HOF.

But, he'll go in unanimously on his First Ballot because of four kicks with the Pats: the kicks that tied and won the Divisional Playoff Game in the snow against the Raiders and the kicks that won SB XXXVI and XXXVIII.

There's a lot of small things that could of helped us win that game to name a few

Kicking a FG with Ghost

Maybe Brady's ankle sprain had an effect

Moss leaps up or catches that deep ball towards the end of the game

Eli gets sacked like he should of

Penalty gets called during helmet catch like it should of

Seau listens to Rodney

BB not as intense during SB week as some complained

We draft Williams in '07 draft

Who?

It absolutely did.
And you forgot Stephen Neal being injured early in the game.

 

[Froob]

Brady will match Adam in wins on Thursday.

A couple more:

Pierre Woods doesn't allow Ahmad Bradshaw, a RB whom Woods out-weighed by 40 Feckin Pounds, to take the football from her after a botched hand-off during the 2nd quarter. Had Pierre been a man, the recovery would've placed the Pats already in near-FG range, at the Vagiants 30.

Brady doesn't get sacked on 3rd down during the 3rd quarter. That moves the Pats out of FG range, at least in Bill's eyes, from what would've been a 42-yarder without the sack to a 49-yarder.
BTW, Welker was Wide Open on the right side when Brady was throwing the incompletion to a covered Gaffney in the end zone.

Edit: it was the exercrable Nicky OxyKaczur's complete whiff vs Strahan that allowed the sack in the first place. What a terrible play.

 

[Soliel]

Congrats to him. I’m sure he’s earned the top dawg position

 

[chris_in_sunnyvale]

Adam running down Herchel Walker from behind in his rookie year will always be my favorite highlight of him.

Congrats, AV.
