Will Stephen Gostkowski still be Pats' Kicker next year?

[Deus Irae]

Just a note...

Weshoff, recently retired from the Jets, is being interviewed by Francessa and just gave the Patriots the nod in terms of special teams for the remaining 8 teams in the playoffs. The main reason?

He thinks Gostkowski is a great kicker.

Just heard that. Said Gost was the only kicker who could have gotten the lift to beat their rush on the game-tying kick in the first game this year.

Yep.... I loved the interview. He's was being extremely candid for a guy who's being careful, if you know what I mean, and he was breaking things down to basics (both fooball wise and off-the-field stuff) much more than we normally get in these interviews. That breakdown was a perfect example.

153 points scored - 6th highest total for a kicker in NFL history, 52 of 59 kickoffs for touchbacks. Cut him?

Even though I never personally made the claim that you refute, I will pose this question:

OK. So, of the hundreds of Place Kickers and thousands of position players who have competed in the NFL over the last nearly half century, Adam Vinatieri individually only accounted for the walk-off (or "walk-off minus three seconds") winning points in two of the 46 Super Bowls to be played in that time and provided the winning margin, whatever its timing, in one other. Your point is...exactly...what...?

If you claim 3 and it's actually 2.....you are kinda like 33% off.

....and if 1 of the 2 was required because the "clutch" kicker missed earlier in the game.......well that's even further down the line.

You really shouldn't get points for a burning house rescue when you like started the fire.

He's in a slump, but he'll snap out of it.

let hope..it's playoffs..

Weren't you banned for this exact crap?

People forget Vinatieri had some bad years. Some far worse than Gostkowski's this year. Vinatieri bounced back and so will Gostkowski.

Besides, Gostkowski has been better than some fans give him credt for this year. Some people act like he misses every big kick.
