It's too late
Olindo Mare; he's been kicking for about 20 yrs it seems
Dude has to be in lower 40's

Bears nabbed him after Robbie Gould went down so he's taken

Mare is 39. The Bears signed Mare after a kicking tryout vs (you've seen these names before) Billy Cundiff and Neil Rackers. John Kasay is 43, BTW.

Good list, DD. I was trying to make a list like that, but didn't know where to look.

Mare and Josh Brown could both be available if Gould or Nugent get healthy.

With Gould on IR, Mare is a Bear for the remainder of the season. Brown wouldn't be bad all things considered.

Crosby is 43 for 43 inside the 30, he gets good distance on kickoffs, has great technique on onside kicks, and was really entertaining on "Game of Thrones". I think the Pack keeps him, and goes for it on 4th down every frickin time b/w the 15 and the 40 yard line. That will give the football world something to talk about.

Good post, man.

Good to hear from you.

I second the good post comment; although to add an element of seriousness, depending on the circumstances, there's no shame in punting from the 25-30 yard line out, depending down and distance, on the weather, and on the opponent. If it's fourth and long, and Packer defense is shutting a team down, give Masthay and Bush a chance to pin them inside the 10.

Thank You B.

39 year old Olindo Mare. Undrafted in 1996 and kicking in the NFL since his debute 1997 (Miami Dolphins). Olindo Mare has a career field goal percentage of 81.2% and is considered to be one of the best in the league at kickoffs, with a career average of 63.8 yards.

He's kicked for Miami Dolphins (1997–2006); New Orleans Saints (2007); Seattle Seahawks (2008–2010); Carolina Panthers (2011) and ** Chicago Bears (2012).

** On December 11, 2012, the Bears signed Mare to a 1-year deal due to an injury to Robbie Gould. Mare beat out Billy Cundiff and Neil Racker for the job.

Olindo Mare played his first game as a Bear this past Sunday, December 16, 2012 at Lambeau Field. He was successful on both of his 34 yard FG attempts in a losing cause, as da Bears fell 21-13. That victory earned the Packers their third straight NFCN Championship .

GO PACK GO !

All these kickers have some consistency issues otherwise they'd be on a team by now. Kaeding got buried on IR until he squawked enough to the Chargers that he wasn't hurt. He's sub.500 in the playoffs. Cundiff was inconsistent. Longwell, as much as I detest that little snob, is the best of the bunch. Cundiff or Rackers may be taken anyway because the Niners had them both in to possibly replace Akers.

David 'Lefty' Akers is hanging in there digitaldean with a 2/3 performance Vs NE (20 & 28 yard FG's) this past Sunday night; a huge 41-34 win for the 49ers.

Ohh... and I never saw it. Mason Crosby on Game of Thrones... HUGE !

That fella is fortunate if he's not in a wheel chair and besides he's too busy slinging burgers.

The quants will freak out if this is the strategy the Packers employ (This + Willard's).

I wonder if Martin Gramatica is FINALLY healed up? Hell of a kicker who got hurt and spent 3-4 seasons bouncing around the league never quite getting healthy again. That was what, five years ago? He'd be in his later 30's, which is no problem for a kicker. He and his brothers ran a kicking camp for a few years!

I don't want that son-of-a-bitch on this team.

I heard that he and his brother visited a whore house and they never left.
