  • Kudos to Mason Crosby

    Mason Crosby followed up a terrible 2012 season with perhaps the best season by a Packers PK ever. Jan Stenerud had a slightly higher percentage in 1981, but only made two from 50+ with a long of 53. He also missed an XP. Ryan Longwell had four seasons between 85-89%, but only made six from 50+ in those four seasons combined. Crosby went 33 of 37 (second best percentage in Packers history)--including five from 50+. He made two kicks of 57 yards--including one outdoors in New York. Chris Jacke's 1993 season deserves mention also. He went 31 of 37 (the only season he made 80% or more in the harsh conditions of Green Bay) with 6 from 50+. This is somewhat reminiscent of Longwell's 2001 season. He made 64% of his FGs. Then, followed it up by making at least 82% of his kicks in each of the next three seasons.

    Glad to see Mason got the message in the offseason. This is why players should have incentive laden contracts as the norm.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

      Crosby didn't win any come from behind games.

        What's his track record in games the Packers lost by 3 or less?
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

          Mason's near record setting performance this year was still 16th inn the League for overall accuracy. Eminently average. I have not sorted for indoor versus outdoor.

            Yahoo shows him 13th in FG accuracy this year. None of the kickers ahead of him had more than his seven attempts from 50+. He was perfect inside 42. He had two of the five longest FGs on the season.

                  Let's all just admit we were wrong when we were clamoring for him to be cut in training camp.

                  Dude had a standout year.

                  But he still looks like that famous midget actor, Peter something. The guy that's on Game of Thrones.

                    Fair enough, I glanced at it while looking for 2 point conversions to argue with Harlan. If that's the case, entirely glad to have him back.

                        i don't think i called for his head to roll. i'm usually pretty forgiving if i think a player still has something to offer. mm is the last one i remember giving up on and it was due to his play calling. lol

                            Dude was in a Daoist state all season. I watched him yesterday and he was calm and focused.

                              He must've had girl troubles or something. Good to see but I still find myself cringing before every snap.
