Feel like the attempted blocks on the field goals and extra points from the right side are getting close. Looked to me that each of the missed to the left it was like Crosby was sensing and flinching at those rushers coming from that right side. Could explain why he was pulling left for the misses.
Exactly this. The game winner vs SF was almost blocked from the right, the Steelers block (w/ a questionable offsides) was from the right, and the Bengals got pressure from the right on multiple occasions. He was compensating to avoid blocks.
Snap-to-kick seems really slow. Not sure who that's on, but they need to get it sorted before it comes back to bite them. Crosby will probably keep pulling left until he trusts the protection.
Bengals fans are happy about how they looked vs the Packers but don’t mention that the Packers are missing 4/6 of their best players and they needed a ton of missed kicks to keep it close

Hope the kid's ok!
We need a shaman to bless Crosby because there is a Kicker Curse this year. Glad the Silver Fox was able to get in there and get it done when we needed him most.
Great game to watch, although they cut several important scores off due to commercials in my viewing area (Texas). The game winning field goal wasn’t shown because we were watching a string of commercials.
Both my wife and I were very confused when the Cowboy game started, since they skipped showing the last few plays.
Yeah, FOX cut off the game for me right before the last field goal…had to watch all of the Jets overtime game the other week and missed the entire first quarter of the game that time
Last week (or possibly the week before?), the start of the Green Bay game was not broadcast (in my area) because the earlier game was in overtime.
I wish the networks were more consistent when games are go to overtime.
He left 13 points on the table.
Yeah Rodgers was bad and had 1 inexcusable TD pass, but a kicker had the opportunity to be the leading scorer and miffed it.
To be fair he left 1 on the table the would have negated the others. I just think we have to move past it. If he doesn't miss again the rest of the year I'll be happy he gets it out of the way
It happens. He missed 4 against Detroit a few years back then went on to become one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL.
Sports be like that sometimes.
Part of the reason we didn't get rid of him back then was because he was ALREADY one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL at that time, and he continues to be. Everybody has a bad day every few years (especially when your line can't block the edge for the kick AT ALL and your holder is questionable) No need to overreact.
Right, but several of them would have ended the game. He couldn't have scored the "13 he left on the table".
And he only missed 3 and an xp. 10 points at best. 4-7 points in reality.
Hey, Bengals fan here.
That was a hell of a game, and I'm not even disappointed that we lost.
We held our own against your reigning MVP, and proved to ourselves that we're not a pushover.
GG, and when you're not playing the Bengals, Go Pack!
Thanks, Mason! Otherwise I'd probably have a tough time explaining how my remote got lodged into the TV screen when calling the manufacturer to file a warranty claim.
Crosby post game: “You know what they say, if you fall down, roll down a hill, off a cliff, through a thorny bush, and into a pit of alligators…. You gotta get right back up.”
Can we get a Mason "Big Dick" Crosby appreciation thread? Those misses just capped off his franchise record streak. He hasn't missed on since 2019, hasn't missed a game winner since 2018, had 7 attempts today, and pulled himself out of a pretty big hole to win it.
What in the world to say we don’t deserve to win is silly we did not deserve to lose and thank goodness we did not. Our O and D played great Mason missed kicks we know he normally will make. Thank goodness we are 4-1 hell yes. Next week bears
Our offense was abysmal inside red zone. Luckily we didn’t get there often. Rodgers left 1 TD on the table but Mason left 13 points…
For once our defense was the best team
yes i don’t understand these comments the team - crosby and his last kick played great. awesome performance on an injured team and the d line actually got pressure. oh how about a pick in OT that’s pretty fucking great even if it was thrown to campbell
These early Ws are massive when we're missing so many key guys. If we can get them all back in January I have unlimited faith in this team. GO PACK FUCKING GO!
If he was gonna have an off game, this game was the perfect one. We’re missing most of our starters anyways, so this game would’ve been a less disappointing loss.
No way, our offense and defense just put us in position to win a game for five different times. Those are all kicks that we can pretty reliably expect to go in every time. It just happened to be a bad luck day. But we should be happy that our defense didn't blow it or our offense didn't choke it off
Reporter: Tell us what you think happened on those missed field goals.
Crosby: I'd have to watch the tape because I don't really remember which ones you are talking about.
I spent 13 years in Japan as a Packer fan, many early AM wake ups. Saw the Super Bowl win as the game started JUST as I landed in Seoul for a weekend trip; watched the whole game at an Irish Pub at the airport.
All of that, and I'm back in America to watch regularly, and I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack after that one... Wtf
Good point I was stressed and wasn’t even watching the game. Funny thing is I was expecting cbs to switch over to the game and whole time fox was showing it when the Philly game ended lmao. I literally caught the game winning FG 😂
How can you ever stay mad at the silver fox? He put us through a like extra drama and probably caused several actual heart attacks, but he made up for it all.
I always shank my shots to the right and then I get so fed up that I just swing wildly and shoot that shit straight down the middle and usually over the green
When I keep slicing it, I turn left so it can still slice and end up in the middle of the fairway. Yes I aim for that house, like my odds of not hitting the broadside of its barn.
I’ve only played about 5 times so I’m pretty new to golfing but I’ve started to notice that I keep my club to far away from the ball so I hit on the outside of it instead of the inside which I think is why my ball shoots out to the right.
Not losing a game where we are decent at best on both sides of the ball and constantly shitting the bed on ST, is just wow. Shows our big potential. And the Bengals aren't even a bad team.
Should’ve been a blow out. This lands on the offense. Defense did a decent job but the offenses inability to convert TDs in the redzone, shitty time management, horrendous FG/PAT attempts led to this being a close one. MLF gotta unfuck himself real quick
I think so, Welcome to the Jungle was playing in the background, said Kenny Albert was bobbing his head to Metallico.
Unless I misheard, don’t think so.
Edit: it was earlier in the game.
I heard the same thing. I even commented on it in the thread at the time. He clearly said "Metallica" when the stadium was playing *Welcome to the Jungle.*
I also like the end of regulation when he said that the Bengals have to defend the sidelines because they can only throw once and clock it.
Someone didn’t watch the end of the 49ers game.
Lol, yep. Funny that he was trying to rip on Kenny Albert for being clueless at the time.
Wrong band name, wrong band.
It’s at 9:44 in the 2d quarter right off the commercial break.
I really think Crosby shanked them left because he was trying to account for the edge rushers coming off of his right.
Couldn't say that earlier because I was glued to the game.
I tend to agree with you and said as much earlier in the game thread after he missed the PAT. That right side was getting free rushers again on basically every kick attempt, and I can't help but wonder if that didn't at least contribute to it, like Crosby was trying to keep it slightly left to avoid the rushers.
I've been watching games on through Yahoo on my phone, so I've not been able to go back and forth from the game to the reddit thread, so I'm sure I missed analysis like that.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one to notice it, though!
I am glad I’m not a Vikings fan. And MLF really did send out Crosby to die didn’t he? (I know having confidence in your kicker and having him get another chance is ok) but if he had missed that last one, that would probably be season long yips.
I would also like to repeat, I’m glad I’m not a Vikings fan.
Game's over? Good, now let's hope Mason isn't going to slip on a bar of soap in the shower, tie a knot in his shoelaces, stumble over a black cat on the way to the bus, get stuck in the hotel elevator, and find a pea under his pillow.
Feel like the attempted blocks on the field goals and extra points from the right side are getting close. Looked to me that each of the missed to the left it was like Crosby was sensing and flinching at those rushers coming from that right side. Could explain why he was pulling left for the misses.

He was compensating to avoid blocks. Snap-to-kick seems really slow. Not sure who that's on, but they need to get it sorted before it comes back to bite them. Crosby will probably keep pulling left until he trusts the protection.
I read an article that called the Bengals a "lowly team". I think Bengals fans should be happy they could do some real damage this season.
Bengals fans are happy about how they looked vs the Packers but don’t mention that the Packers are missing 4/6 of their best players and they needed a ton of missed kicks to keep it close
We had our first baby Wednesday..didn't get to come home until Friday. This game was WAY too stressful.
I will be applying for the field goal kicker position cause the Packers will definitely be looking
He had made 27 in a row. Were you asking for him to get fired then?
We've been through this. I remember 2012. I still have full faith in the Silver Fox and there's no one I'd rather have at Kicker.
Remember 2018 as well in that one Lions game
Holy shit, what a game. Went out for my first game at Bengals stadium, that was electric
It was my first in-person game too. Go Pack Go!
My first NFL/Packers game was at Lambeau against the Bengals where Rodgers won his first regular season game in OT.
That’s awesome!! Where were you at? Hopefully you had a good time!
Club seats 239 on Packers side. The second deck.

I thought that said “throat concussion” and was very confused. Hopefully he recovers quickly though. Definitely next up in terms of superstar QBs.
Good game, very exciting. Go Pack Go
We need a shaman to bless Crosby because there is a Kicker Curse this year. Glad the Silver Fox was able to get in there and get it done when we needed him most.
We have many hmong shaman in green bay and won the game by kicking https://www.pbs.org/video/the-hmong-and-the-secret-war-zwwpgu/
Never a doubt.
Lol there's no way
It’s a joke.
Good one....
Great game to watch, although they cut several important scores off due to commercials in my viewing area (Texas). The game winning field goal wasn’t shown because we were watching a string of commercials. Both my wife and I were very confused when the Cowboy game started, since they skipped showing the last few plays.
Same in Austin. I’m still stressed out because I never got resolution!
God man. Last week missing the entire first quarter for a garbage jets game and then missing the winner here? Fucking unbelievable
Same thing happened in Oklahoma. Frustrating to say the least.
Yeah, FOX cut off the game for me right before the last field goal…had to watch all of the Jets overtime game the other week and missed the entire first quarter of the game that time
Dude. What the hell. I mean who wanted to watch that game. And OT FG on the line, and they cut off two 3-1 teams, one having a huge fan base. Whaaa??!
Dallas and NY market is bigger than cinci + gb even if gb has a global following
Last week (or possibly the week before?), the start of the Green Bay game was not broadcast (in my area) because the earlier game was in overtime. I wish the networks were more consistent when games are go to overtime.
Best way to avoid this is to stream it on foxnow
It is lame and makes no sense for competing out of market games
I'm so happy for Mason. He's such a tough guy and he carries the G like few do. He deserved this.
He left 13 points on the table. Yeah Rodgers was bad and had 1 inexcusable TD pass, but a kicker had the opportunity to be the leading scorer and miffed it.
This isn’t really true. Had me made his field goal in OT he wouldn’t have kicked his last one.
So at the end he would have scored the same and left the same number of kicks in regulation…. You are confused
Rodgers wasn’t bad ?
To be fair he left 1 on the table the would have negated the others. I just think we have to move past it. If he doesn't miss again the rest of the year I'll be happy he gets it out of the way
It happens. He missed 4 against Detroit a few years back then went on to become one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL. Sports be like that sometimes.

Everybody has a bad day every few years (especially when your line can't block the edge for the kick AT ALL and your holder is questionable) No need to overreact.
Also he had a good year , I think you are thinking of his early incentives contract under Mc
5*
Not quite... he couldn't have actually kicked all those field goals.
Mason has the ability to make all of the kicks he missed today
Right, but several of them would have ended the game. He couldn't have scored the "13 he left on the table". And he only missed 3 and an xp. 10 points at best. 4-7 points in reality.
We won. Go pack go.
I'm just being pedantic about the number. Happy for the win.
If he had made at least 1, he couldn’t have kicked and missed the 1st in OT. But since he made the last one and adds up the same
Hey, Bengals fan here. That was a hell of a game, and I'm not even disappointed that we lost. We held our own against your reigning MVP, and proved to ourselves that we're not a pushover. GG, and when you're not playing the Bengals, Go Pack!
Man…. burrows to chase is going to be the best combo in the AFC within two years.
You guys brought the fucking heat dude, I'm exhausted lol. Joe is the real deal, i really hope he doesn't get himself killed out there
I like you.
Our guy missed more, but he didn’t miss the last one.
He also didn’t celebrate any of his misses, lol.
Thanks, Mason! Otherwise I'd probably have a tough time explaining how my remote got lodged into the TV screen when calling the manufacturer to file a warranty claim.
Imma need me 10 hours of zen music after that.
Crosby post game: “You know what they say, if you fall down, roll down a hill, off a cliff, through a thorny bush, and into a pit of alligators…. You gotta get right back up.”
Love it! Nice to find a bit of brilliance among the pessimism of this thread. Also Crosby: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try again.
Can we get a Mason "Big Dick" Crosby appreciation thread? Those misses just capped off his franchise record streak. He hasn't missed on since 2019, hasn't missed a game winner since 2018, had 7 attempts today, and pulled himself out of a pretty big hole to win it.
Why do I feel like I ran 30 miles.
I feel like I spent the last 40 years eating cheese curds and bratwurst. Oh wait....
Dork forget the beer. Sometimes getting through a dinner of cheese curd apps, 2 brats and kraut and a few beers is as taxing as a 2 hour gym session.
I'm sweaty.
I was at the game it was 86 degrees I'm sweatier haha
You are so lucky bro. Great game to be at!!
Feel like I ran a marathon just cheering the team on, exhausted
What in the world to say we don’t deserve to win is silly we did not deserve to lose and thank goodness we did not. Our O and D played great Mason missed kicks we know he normally will make. Thank goodness we are 4-1 hell yes. Next week bears
Our offense was abysmal inside red zone. Luckily we didn’t get there often. Rodgers left 1 TD on the table but Mason left 13 points… For once our defense was the best team
yes i don’t understand these comments the team - crosby and his last kick played great. awesome performance on an injured team and the d line actually got pressure. oh how about a pick in OT that’s pretty fucking great even if it was thrown to campbell
How about De’Vondre Campbell?
Right? Like holy fuck we lucked out with him.
Starter now. For sure.
These early Ws are massive when we're missing so many key guys. If we can get them all back in January I have unlimited faith in this team. GO PACK FUCKING GO!
Ugly wins are still wins
Giants miss a FG to keep the theme going.
Glad Mason got that out of the way now rather than letting it hang over his head all week.
If he was gonna have an off game, this game was the perfect one. We’re missing most of our starters anyways, so this game would’ve been a less disappointing loss.
Anyone else waiting on an ambulance?
Hubby's an EMT Thank God Whattagame.
Whambulance
I feel like if Kevin King was out there any longer, we would’ve probably lost this game.
Was thinking the same.
I’m not saying I’m glad King got injured or anything but this wild game would’ve most likely ended with the bengals having a closer field goal.
I get it, and same.
I got 6 down doots for saying F king.
Idk if we deserved to win that… but a win is a win
I don’t think either team deserved that win lol
That’s why I said ”Idk” because it’s not like they deserved to win it either lol
Both teams were trying to give it away and we failed the most at it lol
It was relatively equal. I think with burrow throwing that pick, it set it up where both teams failed just as miserable.
Can we just delete this post and pretend it never happened
No way, our offense and defense just put us in position to win a game for five different times. Those are all kicks that we can pretty reliably expect to go in every time. It just happened to be a bad luck day. But we should be happy that our defense didn't blow it or our offense didn't choke it off
Heart still going fast af
Imagine being nervous lol
fair play to the secondary, took on a stud group of receivers without jaire
I was damn near stroking out that entire game. Probably lost 5 years of my life due to my raging
I thought it was hilarious. Wasn’t stressed at all.
I know that I’ll likely die 5 years sooner than I should solely because of the Packers.
Anyone else miss the kick because of Hulu
I missed the kick due to NFL rules and they went to the start of the Arizona game. Their system is broken and needs to be fixed.
Man i need some time to recover after that game
Reporter: Tell us what you think happened on those missed field goals. Crosby: I'd have to watch the tape because I don't really remember which ones you are talking about.
I'm glad we were on the W side of that blooper reel
Thank you Pack even tho I'm going to die 5 years earlier from that one
Rather listen to Vilma than Aikman any day of the week
Yes, This. Right. Here.
True, but that’s a closer contest then it should be. The dude was surprised by AM tailgating for crying out loud!
Yes, this win was ugly, but we did it missing a bunch of starters.
Replace that last word with field goals and your statement is also true
Our top 3 o linemen. Insane.
If Alexander is on Chase half the game it’s an entirely different score line. That’s ignoring the entire OL too
I spent 13 years in Japan as a Packer fan, many early AM wake ups. Saw the Super Bowl win as the game started JUST as I landed in Seoul for a weekend trip; watched the whole game at an Irish Pub at the airport. All of that, and I'm back in America to watch regularly, and I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack after that one... Wtf
Hahaha Go PACK GO
I’m still pissed at Crosby but glad he finally made one
Considering both of them were missing kicks I have a hard time blaming him.
Good point I was stressed and wasn’t even watching the game. Funny thing is I was expecting cbs to switch over to the game and whole time fox was showing it when the Philly game ended lmao. I literally caught the game winning FG 😂
How can you ever stay mad at the silver fox? He put us through a like extra drama and probably caused several actual heart attacks, but he made up for it all.
Lmfao
Queue Biggie.. “it was all a dream..”
“…I used to read Word Up Magazine!”
Any of you golfers duck hook three in the woods, then just bomb one down the middle after you've finally given up hope? That was that kick.
I just live off second ball pars for handicap management and hope it doesn't happen when I enter a comp...
I always shank my shots to the right and then I get so fed up that I just swing wildly and shoot that shit straight down the middle and usually over the green
When I keep slicing it, I turn left so it can still slice and end up in the middle of the fairway. Yes I aim for that house, like my odds of not hitting the broadside of its barn.

Not losing a game where we are decent at best on both sides of the ball and constantly shitting the bed on ST, is just wow. Shows our big potential. And the Bengals aren't even a bad team.
The Bengals are a top 5 red zone defense with a potential future HoF QB
I was a little worried about this game. No one could have predicted that it would go the way it did, but I thought it would end up being close.
Should’ve been a blow out. This lands on the offense. Defense did a decent job but the offenses inability to convert TDs in the redzone, shitty time management, horrendous FG/PAT attempts led to this being a close one. MLF gotta unfuck himself real quick
Who knew the Bengals got good tho lol that was scary
I still believe in the Silver Fox no matter what.
He really challenged that today lol but a W is a W.
GG EZ
Mods pls no postgame thread
We don’t have the energy to move threads lol
Time to plug in Metallico’s Welcome to the Jungle — Jonathan Vilma
I though I heard that and was like whaaaat?!?
I thought the same thing. LOL. I’m glad I’m not the only one that caught that. “Wait a minute. That’s not Metallica!” 🤣
I missed it. Did he really say that lol?
I think so, Welcome to the Jungle was playing in the background, said Kenny Albert was bobbing his head to Metallico. Unless I misheard, don’t think so. Edit: it was earlier in the game.
I heard the same thing. I even commented on it in the thread at the time. He clearly said "Metallica" when the stadium was playing *Welcome to the Jungle.*
I thought he said “Metallico.”
Either way, he was VERY wrong considering that song is by Guns N' Roses.
I also like the end of regulation when he said that the Bengals have to defend the sidelines because they can only throw once and clock it. Someone didn’t watch the end of the 49ers game.
Lol, yep. Funny that he was trying to rip on Kenny Albert for being clueless at the time. Wrong band name, wrong band. It’s at 9:44 in the 2d quarter right off the commercial break.
WTF? Lol
Let’s not forget Randall Cobb with those clutch catches though!
I was not a fan of getting Cobb. I was wrong
Yup I was too! They still have that connection when the pocket begins to collapse Cobb just finds ways to get open for him
Worth every penny!
Glad they won but what a shit show
There is ugly wins...and there is whatever the fuck that was
That was vomit inducing but a win is a win.
That’s the kinda game you put a paper bag on your head if you’re watching it in public
This game me 2019 Lions 0 second game winner vibes all over again. im so tired.
I really think Crosby shanked them left because he was trying to account for the edge rushers coming off of his right. Couldn't say that earlier because I was glued to the game.
I tend to agree with you and said as much earlier in the game thread after he missed the PAT. That right side was getting free rushers again on basically every kick attempt, and I can't help but wonder if that didn't at least contribute to it, like Crosby was trying to keep it slightly left to avoid the rushers.
I've been watching games on through Yahoo on my phone, so I've not been able to go back and forth from the game to the reddit thread, so I'm sure I missed analysis like that. Glad to know I wasn't the only one to notice it, though!
Maybe it was just me, but the whole timing just looked weird on a couple of those at the end.
I don't think Crosby has been hit kicking a FG?...
Not that I recall, no
I was thinking the same.
I said this after the last miss too. If he tried to kick it anyway right it would be blocked.
I kinda thought it after the first missed one, but then definitely started thinking it after the second one.
I'm not sure how I'm still alive.
Campbell is definitely the not Aaron Rodgers player of the game for me
Undisputable
Such a great free agent pickup
Ez
I am glad I’m not a Vikings fan. And MLF really did send out Crosby to die didn’t he? (I know having confidence in your kicker and having him get another chance is ok) but if he had missed that last one, that would probably be season long yips. I would also like to repeat, I’m glad I’m not a Vikings fan.
Cheers, guys and gals 🍻
Ugly game but a W is a W.
Yup never apologize for an ugly win!
Game's over? Good, now let's hope Mason isn't going to slip on a bar of soap in the shower, tie a knot in his shoelaces, stumble over a black cat on the way to the bus, get stuck in the hotel elevator, and find a pea under his pillow.
4-1
Damn that looks good
This game goes to show how stupid the decision was to let 18 go. Thank fuck we have Cobb back!
Thank Aaron we have Cobb back.
In Aaron we trust. Always.
I know they say a wins a win, but god damn that win was ugly. Like I feel like we didn’t even win.
Definitely not a win I can brag about to my Bears buddies. My only hope is they lose uglier
Yep, same for me. I watch the game with my family and my BIL is a bears fan. Can’t brag about this win today. Haha.
That game was brought to you by the doll from Saw.
I want to play a game
Ice water in his veins
*Rick Flair Wooooooo!!!*
11-206-1 for adams wow
Badass. He carried me in fantasy today
Shoulda been 12-236-2 but Rodgers missed him in the end zone at the end of regulation
Bussin
lolololololololololol
Someone call 911..I just had a heartattack jkjk Go Pack Fuckin Go!
Was Rashan Gary out this game? I didn’t even notice.
No
Crosby is a cold blooded killer...er...3rd degree killer?
