Fact is he hasn't been reliable when we need him most. One good game doesn't change that.
I get tired of reading all the negative over reactions in the game day threads but I'm equally tired of the bi-polar reactions to our players in jungle noise. Either you support a player/coach or you don't. This guy lays an egg next week are you still going to support him or jump off the bandwagon?
And what kind of question is it to ask about how I'd do his job? Not relavent at all. Let's see him do my job and how would that go? It doesn't matter. Plus apprently I would only had to have made one of the couple of chip shots he made to win last night, could have missed the other 4. Having played soccer for 12 years and was a kicker for a football team for 1 I feel pretty good I could have got the job done.
If he can stay consistent great but if he chokes in the final seconds of a game that matters then who cares if he makes 15 in one game the other team wasn't going to win anyway.
I'm fairly confident you wouldnt have made one fg or extra point last night, pele. The NFL level, even for "lowly kickers" is a whole other animal, so slow your role, vinatieri.
And it isn't bi-polar, it is credit where it is due. So he missed one against the jets, who cares. The more important factor is the resiliency he has shown to not let that one missed kick turn into an avalanche of missed kicks. That kick he made to win the game in New York was as high pressure a kick as you can possibly get. It'sbclear you don't like him that much and you're butt hurt that he is proving you wrong, but good god man, swallow your pride and admit he's putting together a great season so far.
