I much rather have the Packers take the ball with two minutes left knowing they need to make it a 40 yard FG attempt. I want efficiency and clutch more than I want a big leg.

The difference is Mike McCarthy willing to take bigger risk on longer shots.

I don't want to get off topic, but I watched the game again recently and thought the offensive line did a decent job against the best defense in the league.

People haven't given this team nearly the criticism it deserved simply because they won the Super Bowl. The more I watch that game, the more amazed I am that they won at all. If it weren't for some amazing plays on defense (or was it Roethlisberger's determined efforts to give the game away?) and the stellar play of Aaron Rodgers, they could have been blown out. I found myself admiring Rodgers for the way he patiently kept going back to his receivers, even though they kept letting him down.

But you are right. This is off topic, so I will shut up.

If you have a 2 minute drive to win the game there are a few different options. Offense scores a touchdown or the drive stalls. If the drive stalls with a 50+ field goal Crosby could win it, might not. longwell could not win it. If the drive stalls with a 40 yard field goal, both are pretty good with longwell's numbers being slightly better but largely (not totally) because his kicks have come in a better setting. I still think Crosby.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

He's 9-14 as a viking, which is certainly respectable, and actually a good deal better than Crosby at 10/21 in his career. However, I've gotta image he's only tried two in the last two years for a reason.

Crosby also makes more 55-60 yard attempts than most other kickers in the league, which I have to imagine skews his stats a bit. Does anyone know where to check the distance of each kick a kicker has made?

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (27-Dec) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (27-Dec) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (27-Dec) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (27-Dec) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
