Well done to Crosby for making his long FG attempt today. Good to see the support all the way from the management, the coaches, the team and the fans. Hopefully this is how Crosby is going to bounce back for a strong postseason run.

I was pleased that Mason made that FG and also pleased that he was kicking some to the goal line again.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I still would like to see the Packers bring in his college coach as a consultant.

But I'm happy for him today too.

Hopefully the "bad" kicks are behind him. We may NEED him in the playoffs.

My main gripe is that we brought this guy in for his leg.

His rookie season was just short of sensational. Okay, I don't want to go that far, but he was serviceable. Led the NFC in points scored.

But from Crosby, I at least expect him to be kicking touchbacks consistently. He doesn't even do that anymore. WTF happened?

He isn't kicking touchbacks because of our special teams. He is kicking them short on purpose. I am not complaining because its working.

I'd rather have opposing teams start at their 20 rather than our 20.

Go back and check the tapes, when MC was "pooching the ball" The Packers were getting very good coverage, it is when he was kicking the ball deep(but not into the endzone), is when the opposing teams were getting the long returns.

Wherever we play in the play-offs first rnd, it will be indoors, so Mason should be able to kcick the ball deep into the endzone. Using the "Pooch" is a nice wepon to have, it confuses the opposing kick-off team.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I've noticed a lot of those pooch kicks by NFL teams during the past month or so. It seems to be a trend. I suppose a kicker can outkick his coverage, just as a punter can. With the shorter kickoffs, you have little chance of pinning them inside the 20, but maybe there is less chance of allowing a really long return.

This strategy does appear to be a trend in the NFL right now.
Does this mean many other teams are having poor special teams play regarding KO coverage?

My understanding, not having seen the game, is that Crosby had been putting his kick offs to the goal line and beyond prior to him pooching it.
Did something happen causing the Packers to go to the "pooch kick" scenario?

I would have been happier if it had been from the right hashmark, where's he's had most of his problems this year. We'll just have to make sure we run a play to the left on 3rd down in FG range, so if we don't make a first he'll be kicking from the left hashmark... :icon_smile:

6 Extra points - All right down the middle.
28 yard field goal - Right down the middle.
52 yard field goal - Right down the middle.

Nice to see him make all of these, but even nicer to see some very impressive accuracy in all 8 of these kicks. I'm glad McCarthy showed so much confidence in him, it clearly helped.
