Vinatieri hasn't hit a 50-yd field goal since 2002, 0 for his last 55. This Patriots brass obviously has lost confidence in Vinatieri. He missed 2 field goals against Denver in the playoffs. For a "clutch" kicker he missed some big ones then and nobody noticed. Not to mention there were times last year when the Pats were approaching the opponents 30 yd line and went for it on fourth down instead of kicking field goals. Vinatieri's lack of power caused the Patriots to make decisions and call plays they were uncomfortable doing. Vinatieri's departure is just a circumstance of player wanting more than he was worth, plain in simple. In Bill we trust!</p>
