I'm sorry... I thought when you said "Gotkowski = New Vinatieri", you were annointing him as the new Vinatieri.
I think people forget some of Manning's playoff successes. In 2004, his first two games: vs. Denver: 22-26, 377 yds, 5 TDs, 0 INT vs. Kansas City: 22-30, 304 yds, 3 TDs, 0 INT In that KC game, they never punted and needed every point to win 38-31.
In Simmon's column this week, he described that situation... and after Vinatieri misses, he'd strip off his Colts uniform to reveal a Pats uniform... and he'd jump into the arms of Belicheck/Brady. They're in his FG range now.
Holy sh*t!!!....What a play...Great concentration and roughing on top of that...don't leave too much time...
play of the year for the colts. if the colts win, it's cause of that play. normally, the colts would do something like that. they would have a great play only to fumble it like that.
Its been good since the Colts drive before halftime... one of the best conference championship games of the last 20 years.
