Then, if Dal beats the Vikes and we beat NO, we would play Dal in Dal by virtue of the fact that they were division winners (same reasoning has been applied for Dal being the #3 seed right now and the Pack being the #5 seed even though we have the same record and we won head to head). The only way we could have a home game going forward is if both the Pack and Phil make it to the NFC Championship.

And if Dallas beats the Vikings and the Packers beat New Orleans, would Dallas play the Packers in Green Bay for the championship game?

Ranked near 30 among NFL kickers. Has has trouble making the 10 yard line on KO’s. Steeler game KO distance and direction did improve.

Something is wrong with him, physically or mentally.

Green Bay is at a critical point right now, and Crosby has missed a field goal in each of the last four games, including a 34-yarder at Pittsburgh on Sunday that was the difference in the Steelers’ 37-36 victory. At the very least, Carney can’t be much worse than his younger counterpart. [...]

For this year–for 3 more games (assuming playoff round one)-bring in Carney. Crosby, Folk and others—head cases all. Nearly cost us the Bear game, cost us the Steeler game. And why change holders now.

He’s made 19 of 21 from less than 40 yards. But 40 yards and over, things drop off fast: 4 of 7 40-49, and just 1 of 5 over 50.

This page is interesting too. Crosby’s one FG from 50+ yards came in week 1, and he’s only had one FG in the 40+ range since week 6.

Didn’t he have some kind of abdomenal injury early in the season? I really wonder if it’s still bothering him.

I agree that something needs to be done, but can you bring in a new kicker to “mentor” Crosby right now?
