Crosby's kick was true until the end. Was there wind?

I was thinking the same thing. It looked like it was going right down the middle then it took a hard left. I thought it could have been the wind but the flags on the goal posts weren't moving.

I'd rather have Crosby, rather than any other kicker in the league.

As I texted Zombieslayer after the game, I've seen better clock management in peewee ball. The multiple lapses at the end of this game were inexcusable. Rodgers does not seem to be playing with confidence, and Mike McCarthy seems to lock up at key moments and become indecisive. He seems more afraid of doing the wrong thing than of losing.

I place the majority of the blame for this loss on the offensive line and the wide receivers, however. Driver alone had 4 drops today. There's only so many times Rodgers can hit his men on the hands before they have to step up and take responsibility for their own ineptitude.

Im just sick to my stomach about missing that kick, said Crosby, who came into the game having made 5 of 6 attempts his lone miss being a 37-yarder that was blocked by the Bears Julius Peppers but missed from 48 yards out with 2:14 left in the third quarter as well.

Wow, unbelievable. Another thread bashing McCarthy.

Crosby has arguably the strongest leg in the NFL, how can you NOT let him attempt those field goals? Especially at the end of the game like that. He has a great chance of making that 52 yarder...in fact, he had made one earlier in the game.

And if you're saying he backed off a lot to let him kick it, see the call of going for it on 4th and 1 at the 1 yard line.

It wasn't the kicking of the field goal that bothered me -- it was the wretched time management that lead up to it. There was easily enough time to run another play and get a few extra yards, but it was pissed away when Rodgers failed to run out of bounds (I'd love to know what his rationale for that was) and McCarthy inexplicably called a time out. Even worse, he waited for several seconds after the offense had gotten to the line of scrimmage before calling the time out. They wasted at least two plays' worth of time that would have made it easier on Crosby in the end.

I agree with your assessment on time management.

I'm talking about the reasoning behind this thread, which was not time management. The thread was about how McCarthy relies so much on Crosby that he doesn't go for TDs.

Not sure. FG attempt, punt or go for ti on 4th. Tough call. Crosby has a leg. he missed 52 and hit the uprigth almost 1/2 way up. Once in a while I would like them to play 4 downs in the situation. When it is 3rd and 1 or something.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I'm confused. Are you talking about them running another play instead of going for the field goal at the end?

beast (7h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (7h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
