Your Green Bay Packers: Telling It Like It Is
Mason Crosby
Crosby Gets A Free Pass, Again
Jun 18th
One thing that irritates me about Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson is their blind faith in certain players who just aren’t very good. See Jarrett Bush as example one. Example two is kicker Mason Crosby. Despite coming off the worst season in his mediocre professional career, Crosby is getting [...]
Mason Crosby Will Actually Try To Do His Job This Year
Jun 14th
You know it’s a slow day if we have to write about kickers. You remember those guys who don’t do anything but come out and piss the game away by missing a field goal while time runs off the clock, don’t you? Enter Mason Crosby. How many games did he cost the Green Bay Packers [...]
Packers Reward Mediocrity With Crosby
Mar 23rd
Earlier this month, Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby was given a 100 percent raise, something we learned from our friend Jersey Al. Somehow Crosby triggered incentives in his contract that doubled his salary from $500,000 to $1 million, despite being one of the worst regular kickers in the NFL in 2009. Crosby made a [...]
Viable Options For the Packers to Replace Mason Crosby
Feb 17th
Green Bay Packers’ kicker Mason Crosby had a terrible year in 2009 and the team was reluctant to make a change down the stretch, with good reason. There wasn’t a kicker on the market who was any better. Crosby made a career-worst 75 percent of his field goals. That ranks him 25th in the league [...]
Green Bay Packers’ New Year’s Resolutions
Jan 2nd
2009 is done and gone (thank god for that), and it’s the time of year when many people set themselves up for failure by making New Year’s resolutions. I imagine many on the Green Bay Packers’ coaching staff do the same, so we here at Total Packers have compiled some suggestions of what we think [...]
Cool It, Crosby, You’re Not Off The Hook Yet
Dec 28th
Slumping Green Bay Packers’ kicker Mason Crosby did what he was supposed to do Sunday in the team’s 48-10 blowout of the Seattle Seahawks – make field goals and extra points. But you’d think he pitched in as quarterback or hit a 70-yard, game-winning kick the way everyone – including Green Bay Press-Gazette columnists Pete [...]
It’s Not Just Mason Crosby – All NFL Kickers Suck
Dec 24th
We certainly take our share of shots at Green Bay Pacekers’ kicker Mason Crosby around here, but the New York Times did an interesting analysis that shows the NFL’s kickers as a whole pretty much suck. Last season, kickers made 84.5 percent of their field goals – an all-time high. So far this season, that [...]
Should The Packers Bring In John Carney?
Dec 23rd
The New Orleans Saints cut kicker John Carney loose Tuesday, begging the question of whether the Green Bay Packers should bring him in as competition for the struggling Mason Crosby. Carney, who ranks third in NFL history with 2,044 points scored, returned to the Saints this past summer after the team learned Garrett Hartley would [...]
Wanted: Reliable Field Goal Kicker
Dec 21st
The Green Bay Packers, an NFL football organization with 12 world championships, are seeking a reliable field goal kicker. Applicants should possess a pleasant demeanor, a strong leg and enjoy cold weather. Job duties include kicking field goals and extra points, and may include kickoffs. The successful candidate will demonstrate that they can make a [...]
Mason Crosby Sucks, But Packers Won’t Make Change
Dec 16th
Green Bay Packers’ kicker Mason Crosby is in the midst of a terrible season and a downward spiral that began last season, but the team is standing behind him. Why? They don’t really have a choice. Crosby is 24-of-32 on field goals this season. He’s hit 75 percent of his kicks, which ranks him 26th [...]
