No. I expect them to bury their heads in the sand and keep him on the team the rest of the year. I would hope they would find a pinky sprain or something they could use to put him on IR, but I doubt they will.

My ideal: we pick 1 of the guys we've been trying out, AV, being the team player and heads-up guy he is, bows out and mentors the new kid, the kid flourishes under AV's wing, AV saves face and helps the team, retires at the end of the year first ballot hof.
Pipe dream maybe.

It appears Ballard will bring in some free agent kickers for another workout today.

According to multiple sources, the Indianapolis Colts are planning to work out free-agent kickers today. As of Monday night, no decision had been made on the status of Adam Vinatieri, but the Colts want to get a look at what their options are in case they decide to make a change.

Reich: Temperature of locker room is important. Have every reason to believe . . . everyone has upmost confidence in Adam.

Here's Frank Reich on why he's sticking with Adam Vinatieri, in addition to citing his leadership and mental toughness: "I just really, really believe in him, and we believe it’s just a phase, and he’s going to help us win games and help us get to where we wanna go."

I hope he’s right but sure seems like a band member on the titanic right now

Coach speak. No way they haven’t looked around and concluded that there really aren’t any better options out there.

If they truly believed that, they wouldn’t have worked out 6 kickers.

Agree completely here. It would be weird to be one of the six kickers they worked out, I would assume all six of them idolize Vinatieri.

Agreed. I hate the “devil you know” way of dealing with a problem.

At this point, if there really aren't better options out there I'd assume that the way to really solve this problem is to get this team scoring more points so that every game doesn't come down to one extra point or field goal. Sure the Vinny issue is a big issue but in my mind the bigger story is that we can't seem to get this offense on track..............even before the injuries we just weren't putting up enough points. Time for Frank to open up the play book. Now that we are in the heart of the divisional race I have to believe he has some fresh stuff up his sleeve that will surprise the Fags, Tits, and Texicans. I sure as hell hope so.

Go for 2 every TD if Vinatieri's XP success rate is near what the 2 point conversion rate is.
