Your kicking game can make or break you in the playoffs. Crosby has been, at best, below average over the past several weeks. The weather hasn't even been that bad the past couple of weeks yet he continues to miss makeable FGs.

It'd be nice to at least finish the season with him and then draft a new kicker next April, but is it really prudent to go that route?

I like Crosby as a person. The dude can kick it a mile, but his accuracy leaves a LOT to be desired...

I don't think we should give up on him. I just think he needs to be coached up some more. Damn, what ever happened to him hitting kickoffs out of the back of the end zone?

I really don't know what to do with him. Kickers are screwy people and confidence is a huge part of their game. For the first half of the year I don't think he missed a kick under 49 yards and he came frustratingly close on some really long ones. I wonder if that carried over and now his confidence is just shot. It's a tough situation and it is really frustrating to watch him fall apart.

He is too much of a veteran to just be coached out of this mess. I am at the point where I get a feeling of dread when we have to kick a FG from beyond 30 yds.

He has however done enough for this team to be given a chance to reestablish himself and it is not like there is anyone else out there for kicker right now. Maybe we can pick up Stover if the colts let him go?

Considering he changed his approach to the ball this year, maybe he needs to go back to what was working last year. Otherwise, he's kinda killing us. Thank god it didn't come down to that kick to be the difference in the game.

He obviously has the ability to be consistent at long range, I think we need to stick with him and hope he rides out this run of bad form.

Can't push the panic button. There is no one available out there who is better than him.

Some of the problems are the holder and not Crosby.

Good kickers don't grow on trees.
I think he is better than anyone else you could pick up at this point in the season.
Just look around the league and you can see how weak the kicking crop is.
Ted needs to bring in some competition for him in the off season.

Two years ago.. Crosby and Folk were in the running for most points in the league.. this season.. Crosby 8 misses and Folk now has 9... makes you wonder if something is up league wise with the K balls or if this is just an odd coincidence. Or maybe that class of kickers.
