I thought Vanderjagt was ostracised from NFL kicking jobs these days?

Well let's hope he doesn't have to try a long one this week, if I rmember right, there has never been a 50yd or longer FG made at Heinze field(that could be to win a game), but I think it is never.

Kickers go through slumps, hopefully MC has had his and will be his rookie self again the rest of this year.

We will see, but again,unless The Colts release Stover when Vanderjagt(sp?) gets healthy, I don't know of anyone else out there that would be any better.

Its most likely too late to change now. We just have to hope he gets it together.

As for the 50 yarder on Sunday, what better way of regaining his shattered confidence by drilling a long one at Heinz Field and making history.

Hmm that's strange, I don't recall giving thanks for this topic. Well, in any case, thanks! I guess.

I doubt it, since they won the game.

What good would that do for us, anyway? Replacing one slumping kicker with another.

My question is, have we ever had a kicker who was a very reliable in Green Bay?

Well, for a few years we had "Automatic Jan" Stenerud. One of only 3 placekickers enshrined in Canton and the only TRUE kicker. Probably a good basis for comparison. While he was only with GB four seasons, he went 2/3 for 50+ yds and was 3/4 the next year in Minny. However, lifetime, he was 11/47 from that range. That is under 25% folks...for the only Pro HOF kicker.

Are our expectations too high for Crosby? Yeah, I would be queesy if Crosby had to kick 50+ at the end of the game for the winner. But barring Vinitieri, I don't know what kicker I WOULDN'T feel the same way about.

Uh oh. Crosby just missed two back-to-back from 44 yards - right hash. Then he made last when he really got through it. 1 minute ago from TweetDeck

This is odd...Jeremy Kapinos is holding for Crosby in pre-game. At least I think it's odd. 3 minutes ago from TweetDeck

    dfosterf (27-Mar) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
    Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
    Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
    Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
    dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
    dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
    dfosterf (27-Mar) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago

    dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
    dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time

    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
    beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
    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 .
    beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
    beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
