Right now, in Indianapolis, IN, some are demanding that Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt be traded. This request is a result of him missing a 46 yard field goal, in the fourth quarter of their Divisional Playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which would have tied the game at 21. Unfortunately, Vanderjagt missed the field goal and the Steelers ran out the clock.

You should consider trading all of the defensive backs that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger that he torched in the game, if Vanderjagt must go. I guess half of the Colts' offensive line that was beaten repeatedly by a 3-4 defense must also be sent packing. The Colts team had lost the game long before their kicker missed. Vanderjagt should not needed to kick a game tying field goal, if the team had played better.

The Indianapolis Colts should have lost the game. They did not play well enough to win. The blown call on the by Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is the only reason there was a Colts' fourth quarter comeback. Without the referee's blown call, the Indianapolis Colts might not have scored more than three points. It is time to move on, and stop blaming Mike Vanderjagt for the Colts' playoff loss.
