Vinatieri couldn't make that FG? Why the heck did they screw the pooch there? :-?

Probably because the Patriots are pooch screwers. :-D

That was conservative. Really conservative. I think that could have backfired, but luckily it didn't.

Hmm...guess they didn't like the weather conditions in that direction.

I just think Vinatieri is scared and doesn't want to ruin his image. ;-)

Isn't colder weather tougher to kick in? I mean, the air contracts and makes the ball flatter. Converesely warmer weather expands and inflates the ball more, causing it to travel further. Also it looks like there's a fair amount of moisture in the air which would cause further resistance against the ball.

I wouldn't be surprised if his limit is somewhere around 46 yards this game.
