Lobel's Question of the Week: Vinatieri or Gostkowski?

 Every week, legendary sportscaster Bob Lobel wants to hear your opinion on something that caught his eye over the weekend.

There hasn’t been a time that Adam Vinatieri has walked onto the field that a feeling hasn’t stirred inside my fan parts. My fan parts remember him as the guy that made the biggest plays in the biggest games we have witnessed. 

That would include the final game played over a decade ago at Sullivan/Schaeffer Stadium. He always maintains his biggest kick was in that snow against the Raiders.  He won many games here and I can’t remember any he lost. 

My fan parts find it really bizarre that the guy who replaced him, Steven Gostkowski, may actually be a better kicker. 

Your Official Milestone Preview for the 2014 New England Patriots

Though he's struggled to stay healthy in recent years, tight end Rob Gronkowski is still climbing New England's all-time touchdowns list.

Although the defending Super Bowl champions played on Thursday, the best team of recent memory is still the one with the highest win total, points scored and point differential over the last five, 10 and 15 seasons: the New England Patriots.

With all the Pro Bowlers on the squad, the Patriots have several milestones in front of them this year. Before I get to the individual ones, the franchise is just 12 wins away from its 450th regular-season victory. The only National Football League team to play fewer games than the Patriots and have more wins than them all-time is the Dallas Cowboys (464-348 record). So, without further ado, here are the milestones that the Patriots are chasing this season en route to what they hope will be their fourth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
