Mason Crosby

[Pugger]

Do you guys believe MM is making the right move by sticking with this guy? I can't think of another team in the NFL that would show this much loyalty to a kicker.

59% 15 weeks into the season is ridiculously and I truly believe hes going to cost us a big game.

Our problem may be there isn't anyone any better out there sitting by the phone waiting for TT to call him.

Cut Crosby and sign someone off the street who then loses you a playoff game, and you're screwed. Keep the faith with Crosby and he misses a game winner in the playoffs and you're screwed. Hope MM keeps a jar of vaseline on the sideline!

I could see, after Woodson and Nelson are healthy, moving to pickup a kicker to attempt all the inside 45 yard kicks.

What are we to read into this post pbmax? That we don't have a true shot anyway without C. Woodson and J. Nelson totally healthy and productive? If so I agree with you. We presently have pieces to the puzzle missing as we see our team fine tune.

That's irrelevant to the specific issue of our team failing dramatically in the kicking game. We're concentrating on this piece of the puzzle here.

It's my position as things are with our kicker, that we're dead in the water. Don't count on getting a playoff game in San Fran. We're seeing Mike McCarthy error in terms of decision making. We see MM making some risky 4th down moves of late, that we assume are as a result of no confidence in Mason Crosby.

TT and MM know that as our kicking game is we will not go deep in the playoffs..

I expect to see a new kicker in the Green and Gold soon unless Mason Crosby demonstrates a positive reaction to certain emergency Vs Tennessee. Mason Crosby has to be tested this week Vs the Titans from 50 yards in. No more 4th down and long gambles. MM knows better than to take such risks.

The kicking problem 'will be handled' more positively one way or the other. I've got confidence we'll see a move for 'at least' a temporary fix soon.

Long term...we need a kicker with a different head than Mason Crosby.

GO PACKERS !

We're going to be getting a deep look into the mentality of TT and MM over this issue.

How stubborn are these men? This issue calls for one thing.

Intelligence.

Let's take that a step further.

Our problem may be that TT doesn't like phones.

We need mason's body and a new brain. The solution is hypnosis, I tells ya. Put the whammy on Mason so that he comes out the tunnel thinking "I am Greg Zuerlein, I am Greg Zuerlein."

17 for 29 attempts with misses in eight straight games?

That's extreme loyalty in today's NFL.

[pbmax]

I would be happy if they just convinced him every kick was 29 yards. Don't let him try one past 45 until he sees someone in the offseason. Then they can do the full Zuerlein.

Packer fan with Mike McCarthy conversation:

Packer fan: Mike... what are you doing about Mason Crosby?

MM: Well I asked Ted about Mason and he just scratched his head.

Packer fan: Just scratced his head!?

MM: Yup, and you know...all that dandruff.

Packer fan: Dandruff!? What about Mason?

MM: I recommended Neutrogena not Mason.

Extreme loyalty or extreme stupidity?

At this point could they really be any worse? I would just like to see them bring in a guy or two and take a look at them. MM keeps saying Mason is our guy. He has the utmost confidence in him. Then he goes for it on 4th down instead of kicking a 43 yd FG. Doesn't sound like confidence to me.

and...That smells a tad like Bull Shit.

NO! Can't be. So..... what's left?

acting stupid? No head coach of the Green Bay Packers ever had that negative trait.

stubborness?

Isn't this ultimately TT's call? Is MM saying Crosby is our guy because he has no choice? I'm sure MM has plenty of input but TT has the final say on personnel moves!

What's that idiot kicker up to?

Remember, you can't spell Vanderjagt without JAG.
