Honestly, it's ridiculous to say that if Crosby would have made that field goal, the Packers would have won. That miss was way back in the second quarter. It wasn't a missed 23 yarder with a 7 point lead and under two minutes to play. The Packers having three more points there would have changed everything that happened after it. Yes, he should make a 34 yard field goal, but it's also one of the toughest stadiums in the league to kick in. To blame a loss on a missed FG in the second quarter of a game that was a shootout and was decided on the final play simply doesn't make sense.
I'm not sure that I saw the 1st and 3rd possible roughing the passer that you're referring to, but the "spear" wasn't anywhere near as malicious as you make it sound. The reversal of the fumble was the correct call. His arm was clearly moving forward before he lost control of the ball, and the ball went forward. I don't know how much clearer it could have been.
F I have a question, did you become a troll when Favre jumped on the 1 year bandwagon in MN? Thought so....nice win tonight at least we came within a point of the Super Bowl champions while your precious Favre got his **** sacked 4 times by the less than mediocre Carolina Panthers, and the retarted lumberjack you idiots call a coach wanted to take him out so that he didn't snap his brittle old spine before the playoffs.
Its meant to say Polamalu I think, he looks like this He is a safety for the Steelers He is on the cover of Madden NFL 10
Where's SKOL telling us all how great Minnesota's O-line is? I knew it was suspect and against a solid defense, it could get rough in the playoffs.
that was awesome info, man! Welcome to the forum, BTW, and if you been lurking through here before, glad you posted, and hope you post more!
That is what is great about having you around. Most of your posts involve an "I knew, I told you, you guys just don't get it, etc." It is great to have such an expert in our mists. :viksux:
"I'm going to go out on a limb again and predict that Mason Crosby will ding the upright, or shank one completely to lose a game this year." This was my prediction at the beginning of the season......and this was the game I was talking about....I better not see him in Green and Gold next year.
Awesome...do you have video of the clock stopping at 8 seconds instead of running continuously before their last timeout was called? That seemed to save them about 3 seconds on the clock, giving them enough time to throw the touchdown. Home field advantage I guess...:icon_mad:
.....BUT CAN'T YOU SEE HIS BOAT-LOADS OF POTENTIAL AND ABILITY TO TOUGH IT OUT IN THE COLD WEATHER SINCE HE PLAYED AT COLORADO? HIS LONG SNAPPER IS ALWAYS SNAPPING IT WRONG AND HIS HOLDER CAN'T GET IT DOWN THAT WELL, CROSBY SHOULD STAY FOR SURE. /sarcasm
I cant see that we could find anyone that would be a drop in improvement right now for the rest of this year. Thats the only reason why I think he should stay. If he is still on the roster next year I will be suprised.
That's my point. How worse can it get? A drop from a 35 yard miss? A drop from the 4th consecutive week of a less than 40 yarder miss?
I'd have to rewatch it to find specifics, but I think they lost a few seconds when the clock didn't stop right away after one of the sacks with a defensive penalty. It all evened out.
Yep, I was trying to agree with you on that, I just didnt explain myself very well. Of course things got a but more interesting with John Carney getting cut today.....:star-wars:
