Foxboro Mike Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 FOXBORO, Mass. -- So confident was Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt that he would make a tying, 48-yard field goal with 24 seconds remaining in Thursday night's league opener against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium -- and why wouldn't he be; he had only connected on a league-record 42 in a row -- that he turned toward the Patriots' sideline before setting up for the kick and rubbed a few of his fingers together. For those who don't speak sign language, that's universal for "money." I hate it when bad things happen to cocky SOBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumble on the one...are you kidding me? You guys are good, but you can't deny you also aren't some of the luckiest SOBs too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May it continue. I wasn't aware that the ability to force turnovers was dependent only on "luck". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two SB wins for the Pats came after losing the opener....now that's out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's a clause in Edge's contract allowing Indy to dock his next check for that stupid stevestojan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware that the ability to force turnovers was dependent only on "luck". 25261[/snapback] Not sure how much that fumble was "forced". James had the ball out and not tucked. You can't duck your head and go full force with the ball out and not expect to lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two SB wins for the Pats came after losing the opener....now that's out the window. 25263[/snapback] My friends and I were discussing that last night. In each of the 4 years the Pats of gone to the SB, they've gotten off to very slow starts. I have to steal it here: We're D-O-O-M-E-D!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Peyton looked pretty PO'd when he missed it. You can only imagine what was going through his mind. Definitely had to be more intense than just "idiot kicker"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Manning is quickly approaching "Cerebral" status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes to the well way after it's gone dry in changing plays at the line too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Man Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Once Madden and Michaels started talking about how Vanderjagt had this huge streak going, I knew he would miss that kick. The Colts choked last night, sure you can blame Vanderjagt for missing that kick, but turnovers in the red zone, especially Edgerrin James doing his best Earnest Byner impression is what did them in.
