And the kicking is really mental.Longwell had one bad year with us in 2005 which had a lot to do with the holder he had.Aside from that Crosby has all the ability. But mentally he just plain does not have it.He hit a game winner from 36 in his first game in 2007 to beat Philly. But he was the new kid in town.Replacing Dave Rayner you can only get better. In 2008 and 2009 he was certainly marginal. He missed a game winner in the Metrodome that Vinitieri made from the same distance against the Vikings to beat them a month earlier.He missed a big one down in Tennessee that may have kept us from an OT loss. In 2010 and 2o11 he made some terrific kicks. But none of them were so significant that the game was on the line.Even the winner to beat the Giants last year was only 32 yards. And if we'd have gone to OT and lost it was no big deal. We were already 11-0 and had our seat placed for the post season. The key misses this season were at Indy. If he just could have made one. I can understand missing at Lambeau especially in the wind and snow. But indoors? That is a kicker's dream. It's like free throw practice in the modern game.</blockquote>
