That's interesting ? Crosby starting to get old or ????

Not even that, with Hundley they were failing to even move the ball into FG range.

While I agree, there were several times where they went for it on 4th down rather than kick a FG. The offense was anemic. FG's were down from last year but so were TDs, 1st Downs and probably every other offensive category.

This year the Packers scored 38 TDs. Last year they had 51.
This year the Packers scored 15 of 19 FGs. Last year they were 26-30.
This year they gained 307 first downs. Last year 349.
 
And don't forget, of Crosby's four misses:
1. One was blocked due to terrible snap
2. One never got off due to bad snap and bad hold.
3. One was a 59 yarder in Pittsburgh at night in the cold.

Yes, as a kicker in GB you need to account for 1-3 misses a year due to MM making dumbass decisions and trying to get you to do the impossible.
