McCarthy said "I'm not worried. I have confidence in Mason. I believe in Mason," . this is accordng to rotoworld. so no we will not be trying out any kickers.

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.

Lots of good posts in this thread. I heard Folk is on the chopping block also. I could be wrong, but I think I read that.

I still feel good about him, for some (very?!) strange reason.

I have NOTHING to base that on, except a (lousy?) sixth sense, coupled with a realization that we could very easily make things worse by attempting a switch this late in the game.

I think I know why I still want him.

He seems like a non-flake. I value that in my kicker. It is rare.

Let him play out the string. I also agree that the coaches should let him do his thing any way he feels is best...I didn't say he was a complete non-flake, and if he had some idiosyncrasies that worked for him, leave him the f#ck alone and let him do his whack-kicker shit in order to get it through the uprights...hell, coaching him ain't working...

It by no means we won't try out any kickers. It means he feels Crosby will turns things around. Kickers and Punters are superstitious to a fault and have fragile ego's more so than the common player. If coach publicly blasts him, don't for a second thing that won't be through his mind when he's lining up to kick the game winning kick.

McCarthy can't really say much else.

Even with that said, I feel we need to bring in a few kickers, just to light a competitive fire under Mason's ass.

It is frustrating that he misses from 30 years and 40 yards. I mean come on this guy was kicking so good last year and this year he just disappeared. I agree with the rest we can't panic yet, but he better get his act together before playoffs.

I kid around alot about our coach and his public speaking, etc---

I really do like him, and I really do respect his football acumen. I think he is an excellent coach.

This "situation" is one where his "world renowned" (editorial, lol) even-keeledness could pay major dividends.
Mike McCarthy is a "non-panicker". Drives (me) us nuts at times. When it comes to a kicker, though, it's probably good to have a coach that rolls like Mike.

If he decides to bring in kickers, I think we'd all be good with that decision. If he decides not to, I think I'm going to have to be good with that decision also, because I have to believe that Mike knows better than I what impact that might have on Mason. I guess what I am trying to say is that I am going to have to (can't believe I'm typing this) trust him.

Does anyone expect Mike McCarthy to say "Crosby sucks! He can't make a damn fieldgoal!"
Of COURSE he's not gonna say that. You can BET behind closed doors "Bing" is getting an earful.

Crosby has been <80% FG kicker even year 1.

He has been perfect<30 for his career 29of29

30-39 yards 07' 10 of 11, 08' 10 of 13, 09' 6 of 7
40-49 yards 07' 9 of 14, 08' 5 of 6, 09' 4 of 6
50 & > 07' 3 of 5, 08' 3 of 6, 09' 1 of 5

If Mason was kicking the ball through the uprights on kickoffs, then maybe this would be OK. Since he isn't this is far from alright. Kicker needs to be >80% FG percentage in my book.

Good post. To add to it, here is where he has ranked as far as FG percentage:

2007: 24th
2008: 27th
2009: 25th

Zero2Cool (2h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (4h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (6h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (22h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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.

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

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
