Green Bay Packers fans are putting all the blame on Mason Crosby for his play on the road to the Cincinnati Bengals.
In what had to feel like deja vu for a lot of Packers fans, Matt LaFleur played for the field goal in the worst possible moment.
Despite Crosby missing two field goals and one extra point on the day ā including one in the closing seconds ā LaFleur trotted out his veteran placekicker for a potential game-winning attempt at Cincinnati in overtime.
It didnāt work to LaFleurās favor, as Crosby would miss his third on the day. His confidence was clearly shattered.

Despite having Aaron Freaking Rodgers on his side, LaFleur played it safe. The result was misery for Packer Nation.
Thankfully, Crosby made the kick that counted just a few minutes later, but from a much shorter distance. The Packers came away with the win.

Whether fair or not, Crosby will be considered the WOAT even should the Packers win this game on the heels of his very foot. When you miss three straight, thatās just what happens.
Social media was afoot with some rough tweets, the likes of which Crosby and his family would be better off ignoring.

When your kicker hooks 2 FGs no good from the left hashmark, I am thinking maybe have him try the game winner from the _right_ hashmark. #Packers #MasonCrosby #WideLeftTimes3

There were many more whichā¦were not as kind or safe for work, so we left them out.
The Packers will likely give Crosby plenty of time to figure out his case of the yips, as heās been with the team for awhile. The veteran kicker has delivered in the clutch time and time again, making this appearance all the more confusing for a fanbase thatās grown accustomed to him making said kicks with regularity.
