Oops, sorry man. I didn’t detect the sarcasm while initially reading your comment.
Not meaning to pile on because I still think that he’s the best option and hope to see him re-signed, but he also missed a very important XP in the AFCCG loss at Denver, the year prior, when they were forced to try the two point conversion at the end, failed, and lost 20-18.He missed a PAT v. Atlanta in SB 51, a PAT and FG in SB 52 and a FG in SB 53.

They wouldn't have needed to go for two at the end if they had kicked on one of the fourth-down tries in the Denver red zone that failed. . . .
He has nerve problems sometimes. I'll take him every Sunday...and Thursdays too.
Eh, I don’t know. Personally, I think using that example in an attempt to excuse Gostkowski from missing a kick in the season’s biggest game 4 years in a row is kind of lame. Just my opinion, of course.They wouldn't have needed to go for two at the end if they had kicked on one of the fourth-down tries in the Denver red zone that failed. . . .
A bit of a harsh take there, eh?
Ghost postseason: 88.6 percent. Adam V postseason: 88.8 (which includes a kind of odd year when he went 14-15)
This has literally never happened in Gostkowski’s playoff career.while the Patriots have repeatedly punted or went for offense on 4th down instead of risk letting Gostkowski try a 45yd FG
They decided to not go for a 49 yarder in a dome in Super Bowl XLII and instead tried to convert 4th and 13. A long time ago and a little longer, but close. Other than that, yeah, not “repeatedly.”This has literally never happened in Gostkowski’s playoff career.
What is the average distance? Have to compare apples to apples .
Vinatieri was kicking 46 yarders in the snow or winning 2 Superbowl kicks, while the Patriots have repeatedly punted or went for offense on 4th down instead of risk letting Gostkowski try a 45yd FG
AV was a great kicker for us but lets not take the snow kick and turn it into something it isnt. And as others stated the Pats have never repeatedly punted VS letting Gost try a FG.
Gost's numbers are clearly better than AVs across the board, including in 4th quarters. If AVs numbers were better that is the first place all the AV lovers would go to prove some point they are trying to make. But since AVs numbers are not as good as Gost's you get this routine tap dancing and goal post moving to try to discredit Gost and pump up AV.
Its tiring to read.
I still stand by that decision. The way the Patriots were moving the ball, you couldn’t be confident they’d get back there. Needed a touchdown either way.They wouldn't have needed to go for two at the end if they had kicked on one of the fourth-down tries in the Denver red zone that failed. . . .
