Where's Waldo?

Maybe we should bring in a shrink instead...?

Can he kick? TT has to get in touch with (36+ year old) Neil Rackers.

Quit making excuses that 50+ kicks are coin flips.

Crosby's incompetent. Plain and simple.

In the past, TT and MM pulled the plug mid-season on players intended to have key roles. Carroll, Thomas and Rouse all went from being a starter one week to being on the street the next. The way TT and MM are standing behind Crosby, it sort of makes me wonder if there is more to the story than we are aware of, although I haven't the slightest clue what that could be.

Their approach with Crosby is surprising for how long it has gone on. I commend them for not panicing over something that happens for a few weeks, or even a month. This is now going on two months. If they really do not want to lose him long term, as the injury list shortens, they might have to consider adding a second kicker and keeping Crosby much as Sherman kept two punters. I really don't see a need for that, however.

Just let Masthay kick FGs. You can't stop the Ginger wolverine.

Maybe they feel there isn't anybody out there that would be appreciably better?

Ya, it would seem that way. But now that he is missing even 40-50 yarders regularly; they might have second thoughts.

If you take away Crosby's misses, he's had a great year.

[Tony Oday]

Im surprised they allowed him on the plane?!

Maybe he is injured and they are not telling us

No I believe MM is injured (his brain is frozen) and it's perfectly obvious:

MM on Mason Crosby and any thoughts of replacing Mason Crosby at this time in our season:

"We're going to go into work tomorrow and we're going to watch the tape and he's (Mason Crosby) going to get down there and we're going to swing at it. We're not changing our kicker, so you can write that down right now. He's our guy. He needs to make those kicks. He knows that. We're at that time of year. We've been taking the long 50-yard opportunities preparing him to make the game-winner. So I have all the confidence when we line up at home in Lambeau that we're going to go out there and we're going to have our spot and we're going to have a field-position plan and we're going to line up and kick it when that opportunity comes. He has to do his part." Green bay Packer HC Mike McCarthy

HOLY COW ! Mike McCarthy Mason Crosby. Touching.

Sadly that will cost us.

A somewhat similar thing happened here in Cincy. Bengal FG man Mike Nugent hurt his calf mid-week. The Bengals brought in Rackers, Billy Cundiff , & Josh Brown. When Nugent remained gimpy, the Bengals signed Josh Brown. Brown played that Sunday and hit a 40 yarder like it was nothing. They are keeping both guys, hoping Nugent will be right for the play-offs.

Cincy's roster is nowhere as deep as ours. For us to cut somebody to keep two K's, it means we'd lose a good ballplayer.

But, if you can get a new kicker when yours has a sore calf, can't you get a new guy if your kicker has a sore head?

Cundiff made one of the most famous choke jobs in NFL history, Rackers is more than just a little nuts.

Let's sign one of em!

But if that were the case, I would think it would also show up in his kickoffs.

Plus the urge to tell everyone would be hard to resist. As stingy as the Packers can be about diagnosis and rehab timetable, they don't let injured players suffer publicly so the can realize a subtle advantage over the opponent.

The closest this year is Lang's elbow, but even that was public, if not widely known to be serious.

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

why would he?

has partial/tank ever added anything useful to anything on here or the old JSO?
