I bet there are some available that can kick to the 20 and have a higher than 79% FG percentage.

That can kick to the 20, are you serious? You are ripping Crosby because he doesn't just kick touchbacks into the wind but you are cool with someone else just kicking it to the 20?

Never seen someone whine so much about kicking when its not even in our top five problems for the team. Incredibly petty if you ask me.

We have ripped apart those other 5 areas over the first half of the season. Don't see what is wrong with trying to widen the spectrum of conversation.

But it you prefer we can stick with Brett/TT bitching.

As for the kicking to the 20. I have said multiple times, that I am OK with giving up a little accuracy or kick off length. But I don't want to give up both. In the Viking game, the coaches decided to kick short. Why is that. The only explanation is that the did not have the confidence that Crosby could keep the ball deep enough.

I don't have the stats on Mason this year for touchbacks, but if you look over his first 2 years, I think we have a great kickoff guy.
"His 17 touchbacks in 2008 were the most by a Packers kicker since 1972 (Chester Marcol, 28). His 31 touchbacks the last two years rank seventh in the league over that span"

The only explanation to you maybe. It makes much more sense that they thought by kicking the ball high or squibbing it they had a better shot at making the tackle before he busted a 40+ yarder.

Well then I am disappointed. Kick the ball deep enough and they start at the 20. Yet our coaches think squibs and pooches were a better option than telling Crosby to kick deep.

Hell Longwell, was able to get it to the goal line, Crosby should have been able to make the stands with his leg. Since all I have ever seen people say about Longwell is that he was great a FG just couldn't kick off.

The pooch/squib gameplan makes a lot more sense than your theory of they coaches don't think Crosby can kickoff deep. 1 week after he put 3 kickoffs into the endzone vs Cribbs they aren't just for no reason thinking "Man that Crosby can't get the ball into the endzone to save his life"

LONGWELL IS LONG GONE, GET THE TRUCK OVER IT! You even mentioned Ted and Brett. WoW ... MOVE ON!

What's next, compare Wahle to Colledge? Rivera to Sitton? Move the frick on already.

You don't KNOW that he can't kick it deep. Just like I don't KNOW he was instructed to kick it high for his coverage team to get under it.

He didn't do it this past game and I feel its with good reason.

I could be wrong, but I remember him kicking them into the end zone pretty consistently.

I'm really starting to think you're just bitching about this for the sake of having something to bitch about. And now I'm feeling dumb for partaking into this continuation because you hve provided NOTHING to support your theory. Nothing but more BS crap about a player we once had and who CHOSE to leave for team with better climate OR a dome.

If you want to be petty and nitpicking at something that's not nearly worth five pages of debating... by all means. Go ahead. A wall has more understanding and reasoning ability than you've shown ME in this thread.

I guess if you are 100% happy with the kicking game, then that is fine. I am not. There is room for improvement, and since there is, there should be room for discussion.

Excuse me for trying to talk about something out of the ordinary. We can go back to the Oline, Running game, pass rush and everything else we have beat to death.

Should we start Tauscher or Barbre. Wait there is a thread about that already, with no action lately. How is McCarthy as a coach, Oh, there are about a hundred threads about that also getting no action.

Martha Careful (7h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (7h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Rude!

beast (11h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (15h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (17h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (19h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
