Mason Crosby signs with NYG. What could go wrong?

[So Ram]

Crosby is simply unstoppable.

We better bring our A game or he’s going to singlehandedly beat us.

I’m binge eating Christmas cookies to deal with the anxiety.

Well Miami’s kicker sure looked good today.
-Greg the Leg hit a game winner today for the Jets against Washington.Each game is its own,but this game in New Jersey will be interesting?

Crosby drills a 52 yarder in cold out door Philly weather.
Very puzzling how this went down

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[snackdaddy]

They let Crosby go in favor of Havrisik.

LMAO -

Actually though it hasn’t cost us The Tams a game though.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

What baffles me is also that McVay also admits it will effect his play calling.... I'm baffled

Sean McVay admits Rams' kicking struggles can impact his play calling

The Rams have missed more FGs than any team since 2015 and Sean McVay admits it can impact his play-calling decisions on 3rd and 4th down

I think Havrisik looks good in practice but then crumbles under pressure in a real game,

If only our Super Bowl winning front office weren’t so clueless.

They definitely aren't clueless lol, but how they are handling the kicking situation is a head scratcher for sure.

 

[Londoner]

a head scratcher

It really isn’t.

1. Contrary to popular opinion, the perfect kicker doesn’t exist.

2.

a) we would like to get someone better, but there is no-one available who is better than Havrisik.

OR

b) There are loads of better kickers out there, but both Snead and McVay are clueless

C) as someone said earlier, he looks great in practice and they are waiting for that to show up in games

To respond to what you said, no one is even expecting a perfect kicker, but one that isn't 2-6 from 40-49 yds.

Also saying there is no one better that Havrisik is laughable. Riley Patterson comes to mind as he has actual experience and stats to back it up. I wouldn't say Snead and McVay are clueless, but there seems to always be a stubborness about our coach with a particular player every year. I bring up Bobby Evans and Jamil Demby as examples of that. For how well they've done to construct a roster, to me and I'm assuming others, it's a head scratcher of a decision.

You could be right, didn't get a chance to give you credit directly in one of my responses since I decided to be lazy in looking who said it .....it is Christmas after all

 

[dieterbrock]

They let Crosby go in favor of Havrisik.

that’s what’s puzzling. They could have kept both.

 

[Tumak61]

It's that 45 yarder for the game with 3 secs on the clock that makes you wonder. Everyone will be leaning way left or way right in their lazyboy.

The "Tavon Trophy."

 

[dang]

My theory is they want a long term kicker and know a grizzled vet rental doesn’t get that. They must feel there is something in Havrisik that is a possible long term answer. Otherwise I have no idea why he is still around.

 

[oldnotdead]

As much as I would have wanted Crosby this year he would have been a bandaid and the Rams knew it. They are gambling that Havrisik can be their PK going into the future.

But IMO Sean needs to open his eyes. Lucas kicks better from the right hash because he simply uses his natural motion. But there is also something to be said about how the ball is snapped. With a relatively inexperienced holder, it makes a huge difference.

 

[Gandalf]

They want the young kid with potential for the long run, but now they're in the playoffs and that decision gets a whole tougher.
