LOL we lose to the Vikings and people want to blame the kicker now? Soon we're going to be blaming the cheerleaders for distracting the players.

So we should be happy with giving the Vikings the ball at mid field every drive because either Crosby is not able to kick the ball deep, the coaches don't believe in him or they are just stupid.

About the only three options I can see.

I thought it was Harvin's good kick returning that put the ball mid field.

Kick the ball deep into the end zone and Harvin isn't going to bring the ball out. Our deepest kick was down to the 9.

What no one has brought up is this.....who the hell is out there that is going to kick better then Crosby does??? I rest my case.....

Yes, he's missed kicks most of them were at a crucial time of the game but if it were't for the defense not getting a pass rush and the OL giving up a sack to kill a drive there would be as much pressure on Mason to be perfect every time out.

Don't be silly there are tons of kickers just sitting out there on the couch who can kick a touchback into the wind every time.

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

Looking at the stats this year obviously there isn't considering there are 10 teams with kickers with a lower % than Crosby.

lol 50+ yarders are SOOOOO easy to kick.

He's missed three of four. That's not good. Yes.

And kicking that long of a FG is not something every kicker in the NFL has even attempted, let alone made.

49 and less, he's over 92% ... pretty good if you ask me.

But what's the point of facts for a Madden-like wanna be GM.

And his kickoffs are deep too, when he's not instructed to squib kick or get max hang time for his coverage.

Crosby is not the greatest. He's not the worst. he's in the upper middle half of kickers and there's not much better out there. If there was. one of the PROFESSIONAL GM's would have signed them already.

So we will settle for a middle of the road kicker, but we will not settle for the middle of the road anywhere else? How many Cut,Trade, Hawk, Kampman, Harris, Grant, Bigby, Barnett threads has there been?

I don't see a problem wanting a kicker that is dependable on kickoffs or FGs And by dependable, I want Longwell type average. of 9 years, he was under 80% 2 in GB. If we don't have that, I want a Kicker where the coach does not need to worry about squibbing or pooching kicks, because there will never be a return.

Kicking is not terrible, but there is plenty of room for improvement.
