Crosby - an 83% kicker.

[MJZiggy]

Can we fire him NOW?

No.

[Patler]

Can we fire him NOW?

Why?

[Tony Oday]

Why?

Because he cant kick a clutch kick to save his life? That would be the first reason.

[swede]

That blown kick did not cost us the game and I do not think we should fire him, but I think we should all agree to call him "Clank" for the rest of the season.

[swede]

...although I'd be open to "Clunk" or "Bonk!" as alternatives.

All right Rats. Someone run the names (or cities) where the kicker can be said to be operating in adverse conditions. There are the obvious one: Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Giants, Jets, Eagles, Jets, Patriots, Denver, Green Bay, Chicago.

Do Kansas City and San Francisco count? Let's decide and run the numbers to see of Crosby is near the top of cold/adverse weather kickers. Despite my earlier protestations, I think he is.

BTW, I vote for "Thunk".

[Joemailman]

With a frozen ball and a frozen goalpost, I think clank is better. Might have been thunk in September.

[vince]

Bonk.

Who are you going to replace him with?

[Patler]

Even with his miss yesterday, the first of his career under 30 yards, Crosby is 92/111 under 50 yards. That's 82.88%.

What happened on that chip shot yesterday? I couldn't see the hold on the replay? Anyone from WI have some insight?

The only comment I saw from one of the writers was that the whole play looked out of sync. The really didn't identify why.

Personally, I think anybody who thinks there are 15-20 kickers in the NFL that are better than Crosby is nuts.

Not really nuts, but nuts in the football intelligence sense.

Wow - what an insult...not! I'd say 20+ are better currently but Crosby just ain't playing at a high level plus where's the stats that backs Crosby up? I know! The stats doesn't exist. You'd have to nuts to claim that Crosby is a top 15 kicker, not really nuts, but nuts in the football intelligence sense.

No worries, Harvey, I think you're fine.

Who are you going to replace him with?

I've been after Crosby too but I agree with Pat 'cos there's no one out there other than a rookie sensation and I don't want to use a pick on a kicker. But I'm truely baffled by the ones praising Crosby...what has he done? He needs to become a better kicker...'cos Packers have SB talent on the roster and kickers are important in close games.

One of the coaches (McCarthy I think) mentioned pressure up the B gap which caused a problem. But I am not sure how that affected the kick if it wasn't tipped.
