Again, this is yet another reason why people need to shut up about resigning Jones to what was basically a two-year, very team-friendly deal. He's worth it. You'd think he was trash this year I swear, I know a lot didn't like the contract but that doesn't make him a worse player all the sudden.

skibrett15 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Crosby is the kind of kicker who you expect to be reliable because he has been reliable, but a game like this can happen at any time. He's not even streaky, per se, but he is coming off 3 very good seasons, especially for him. Problem is that he also hasn't had high volume during these good seasons. Last year he only attempted 16 regular season field goal kicks, not a huge sample size. Which is ONLY 16 MORE THAN MYSELF. Crosby is fine, and like most beloved kickers, he is beloved because he is put into good positions by his team to win games, and he didn't shrink in the moment. He has also made some long kicks in really big spots. Most kickers are average to good players who are simply reflections of the quality of their teams, not ones that actually help their team win all that much. Praise him for his durability, praise him for his ability to get guys down on kickoffs. But don't praise him for being some kicking savant. And by that same logic don't knock him for a game like this. In 3-4 weeks the beat will be reporting on how Crosby and the snapper/holder "fixed the process" and that there were problems with the operation. But it's all just cover for what amounts to random variance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering the OL has had abysmal run blocking grades through five weeks. Can't wait to get 69 back and slide Jenkins back into OG. Myers will continue to progress and then either Runyan or Newman at RG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a weird post. I've been saying for years that Crosby is an average kicker (since I created that metric) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True and I wasnt ragging on the OL - simply that in that circumstance, Cindy had the box PACKED with bodies so the likelihood of the OL getting any push was nil indeed IMO. Put Bak, Jenkins & Myers back into that equation....perhaps I'll think differently - but yesterday was not the day to tempt fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Pack Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing but Rodgers is really targeting Adams at a mad rate. Through 5 games Adams is leading the league in target at 61. Number two on our team for WRs is MVS at 15. I'm really suprised Lazard has only had 10 targets after how he has been playng previously. Even our targets to Tonyan have dropped he is only been looked at 17 so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a game in Detroit not that many years ago when Mason couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. We lost that one if memory serves... Yes we did. Probably had to figure it was coming after making 26 straight or whatever that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
