Where's Waldo?

Even the strongest of Crosby backers would find it hard to support wanting to go into the playoffs with Crosby as our kicker. Dude still has a powerful leg. Not sure if we can keep him for kickoffs and see if we can fix him next year. Wish we had Olindo Mare. I wonder if there are any old time reliable vet kickers out there.

If you take away his 50+ yd attempts Crosby is 16-21 (76%). It's his miserable record with 50+ yarders that is driving his FG percentage so far south of the Mendoza line. I can't help but wonder if McCarthy's tendency to put Crosby out there for anything and everything under 60 yards hasn't contributed to his struggles this year. In baseball, when hitters are in a slump they get out of it by abandoning the urge to pull everything and instead try to hit everything up the middle. As long as they're not auditioning Crosby's replacement at this late date in the season, I would try to get him back on track by putting him out there only when the ball is inside the opponent's 25.

Bring in shortwell for FGs. Keep Crosby for kick offs until he works through this thing.

i wonder if theres a way he can become injured at practice so we can IR him and still keep him for next year to see if he can turn it around

longwell will never be allowed back in green bay, and longwell would never want to come back to green bay

thats how shitting the whole situation got when he left. he burned every bridge imaginable

So that's why it takes so long to get across Butte Des Morts going to the Pack games!

Well that would move him up to 29th place. That still sucks. Besides 50+ yarders are a reasonable expectation and a part of the game too. It should be a part of the equation in determining if we keep him or not.

Yes that's the first thing that stands out. Mason Crosby's eight 50+ yard attempts and how that could be in any manner related to being a confidence booster.

Taking those atempts away. Should any NFL team be pleased with a 76% success rate and an ineligibility for a FG over 50 yards?

If Minny fails to make the post season. Is there any way we can rent Blair Walsh. He's 8 for 8 at 50+ yards. Hasn't the LIONS Jason Hanson ever wished he could take up residence at Lambeau Field?

Seriously... anything below 80% efficiency in the NFL today is very bad. So 'just pretend that' your the GM and/or HC of the PACKERS and want this fixed. What are the possibilities to do that? Who's out there to hire; because nothing short of a long stay in some positive thinking clinic is going to cure our guy?

How about Neil Rackers? Wonder if he would enjoy some stay in Green Bay?

Maybe we can call on these fellows to help get Mason back on track?



GO PACKERS !

I agree its bad, but I really think those long ones are messing with his mind or technique. I think attempting one changes his approach in some way. Though if stories about his practices are true, it would only seem to be happening during games. He has to have the record for most upright hits in a season.

Our team hasn't got time to puzzel this out. Our team needs a solid kicker. PERIOD.

PACKERS !

if you take away his 50+ yard attempts then you have to do that for everyone else on the list.

when you do that, mason still ranks near, or at , the bottom of the list

[LegandofthePack15]

Wow, the rookie Blair Walsh is 8-8 from 50 or beyond.

Quit making excuses that 50+ kicks are coin flips.

Crosby's incompetent. Plain and simple.

Who is available and better? Instead of saying stupid shit over and over, propose a solution.

This. I used to be an ardent supporter of Crosby, but he's slit his own throat here. Anyone walking on the street would be a better option than him at this point.
