Week 10 - Packers vs Jags

[swhitset]

You understand that it's an extremely small sample size compared to Crosby's career average, don't you???.

Of course, Just as Im sure you understand that what he is doing right now is far more important than what he has done in the past. I’m still satisfied with his overall record... but I don’t think it’s insignificant to point out his current years record when comparing him against a team that is currently struggling to do something that you have been lobbying for.

You forgot to add in the $5.625 M cap hit they already have on the books for Josh Lambo. So about $6M on kickers this year and it appears that they are still looking for a kicker to replace Lambo who has been their kicker for the past 4 seasons and who they signed a four-year, $15.5 million contract with last year. This is Lambo's 2nd season where he was lost due to an injury.

Do you agree the Jaguars would have been better off not signing Lambo to that contract??? If so, that's what I have been advocating for the Packers to do with Crosby as well.

Crosby has yet to miss a game for the Packers in his....now 14th season with the Packers. Add that to the list of reasons why Crosby is worth the money they pay him.

Most kickers don't miss a whole lot of games though.

There's no doubt Crosby has been stellar this season. You have to understand that he only made a difference in one game this season and in that one it would have been good enough to make one of three attempts.

kickers rarely make the difference in a game, unless they're missing them. They don't get paid for the easy ones. and in one sentence you're saying they shouldn't have signed lambo because it hasn't worked out because of injury, and in the next saying kickers are rarely injured so Crosby's longevity doesn't count.

I can think of 2 teams in our own division who went the cheap route. I think 2 of them lost playoff games because of them too. Every year teams go thru multiple kickers until they find semi-reliable. not all of them, but there always seems to be a couple teams with kicking issues. I'm glad we haven't been one of them.

That doesn't make any sense. A kicker can make a difference in a close game by either making or missing kicks.

It was Pokerbrat indicating the Jaguars made a mistake signing Lambo to a contract averaging several million a year.

not all of them, but there always seems to be a couple teams with kicking issues. I'm glad we haven't been one of them.

Is there any reason you ignore the seasons in which the Packers had kicking issues because Crosby struggled???

 

[Mondio]

outside of that season and half of struggles Crosby has been good, for a long time. Is there any reason you ignore that is the only reason the stats say he's average among kickers that last as long as he has. I've brought it up repeatedly through the years. Obviously haven't ignored it, maybe you're ignoring all the times i've said it? I'm ok with it. You do anything long enough, you're going to have some rough patches.

I have supported the claim that Crosby has been an average kicker at best after his horrendous season in 2012 with numerous facts as well.

For some reason fans tend to ignore them with him. Interestingly they're not as lenient with any other player on the team though.

 

[Mondio]

lots of stats, not many kickers you've named over the years they could have had and done the same job for though.

The Packers could have had close to all kicker that have had more success than Crosby in the past as most of them went undrafted.

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

Well, let's hope today any and all kicking issues will be negligible

Tied a single-season franchise record for FG percentage when he connected on 22 of 24 field goals in 2019 (91.67 percent), matching K Jan Stenerud's mark set in 1981 (22 of 24).

Registered a franchise-record 10 straight 100-point seasons (2007-16), one of only three players in NFL history to register 100-plus points in 10-plus consecutive seasons (Jason Elam, 16, 1993-2008; Adam Vinatieri, 13, 1996-2008).

Holds the NFL postseason record for most consecutive FGs made with 23 straight from 2010-16.

Has scored 143 points during his career in the postseason, No. 1 in team history and No. 5 in NFL playoff annals.

The forecast of high winds might keep the passing game and scoring in check, but I just can't see the Jags seriously threatening the Packers.
Packers, 35 -10

Continuing my string of impressively inaccurate predictions, I see the defense taking out their frustration on the Jags... An easy 31-3 win for GB.

Crosby is ranked 11th in field goal percentage among 25 kickers with at least eight playoff attempts since 2007. While that's slightly above average it's hardly elite.

In addition 17 of those kickers have a higher average distance on playoff field goal attempts than him.

Nor his consistency on kickoffs throughout his career.

vomiting in my mouth again.

right now I have absolutely no interest in the Packers offering King another contract. I reserve the right to change my mind.

Good day for running touchdowns. Field goals and passing from any medium to long distances could be problematic.

Depends if the swirl is towards either end zone. The misting bouts of rain with the 40deg temp will make it miserable. My dog doesn't even want to go out today.

Horrendous play calling so far.
