Game tied 7-7 it's 4th and 1 on the Bears 5 yard line. The field goal unit enters the field.

I thought "this has to be a fake", it wasn't. After the fieldgoal the Bears scored a TD and we were down 14-10.

Even if the fake fails you have the Bears pinned at the 5 with the game 7-7 and Cutler in command.
Mike McCarthy and Zook don't have the balls to call the game they need to call to win a game they could win with the talent they have. Don't put this on the players when you did absolutely nothing at all.

It doesn't have to be Mashtay, there are many creative ways to get a yard from a FG formation. Specially if you are getting paid to create such plays.

A fake field goal attempt that wasn't is the least of the Packers worries from this game.

So maybe having too much balls early on cost them the game, because they could of kicked it for a FG in the 1st and gotten 3 points instead of going for it on 4th down... and then at the end of the game kicked another FG.... so they would of had 6 more points if they didn't go for it on 4th down in the 1st quarter (assuming Crosby makes the FGs).

The bigger question would be weather he has the accuracy, whether they block the pass rush and whether the ball is put in a divot or not. Also he's been on fire since his miss in the Lions game.

And Crosby is 19 for 21 this year so far... with his two misses coming with less than 6 seconds left in the quarter during the second half of a game. A 44 yarder against the 49ers with 2 seconds left in the 3rd quarter and a 52 yarder that was placed in a "divot" and Crosby high topped the ball against the Lions with 5 seconds left in the 4th quarter.

Crosby's 50+ yarder this year were,
~ 54 yarder with 6:57 left in the 1st against the Seahawks,
~ 56 yarder with 9:13 left in the 3rd against the Broncos,
~ 52 yarder with 4:19 left in the 4th against the Vikings in which Crosby broke a record of 5 FGs at or over 40 yarders.
~ 50 yarder with 4 seconds left in the 2nd against the Bears

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
