Is McCarthy the problem?

If Crosby tells you he can make it, you do not believe him? What do you put his odds at?

Since no one has ever kicked a FG longer than 53 yards at Heinz Field, I put the odds close to zero.

I'd guess somewhere around 30% for Crosby. I'd be willing to bet that if they it were possible to know the exact chances and someone told M3 that there was a 1 in 3 chance, he'd still take it. He took a risk on one of his better players making a play and it didn't work out.

At any rate, I doubt punting was ever considered. If they had Rodgers, they would have gone for the 1st down. Hundley was like 6/7 on third down in that game, so maybe they should have gone after it.

We never got a replay of the snap and hold, did we? I thought that was an egregious oversight for such an important play.

Snap looked high and inside to me, but Vogel seemed ready for it. Like maybe he wants the ball into his chest.

He got the ball down about where his hand was pre snap. Hard to be sure without closer look on replay.
