I didn't see pre game warms ups, so I have no idea what kind of range the kickers were getting. But pass up a FG in the 1st (51 yards) and 2nd quarter (48 yards)? It's Robbie Gould, he's earned the right to try and make at least the 2nd quarter FG.But it will all come down to that time out on 3rd and 2, and subsequent play call, in my mind. It's the kind of thing that will wake me up from a dead sleep in the middle of June and remind me that I take Bears football a little too seriously some times.
Unbelievably bad. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why they didn't let Gould kick it. He's made fgs from that distance all year. One punt only netted a gain of 11 yards. In a game where every point is important, they passed on 2 very makeable attempts. Gould is freaking clutch. So horrible.

As far as the 3rd and 2 call, that ended the game right there. That's all on Lovie. The decision is ultimately up to him on the 3rd and 4th down there and he blew it. Was he saving a timeout just in case Hanie made a spectacular play to convert the 4th down? WTF! People at the game had to be furious after that.

Curious as to how the crowd responded to Jay and how they responded to Hanie. I can't imagine they weren't behind Hanie. Was there anything made of Cutler not coming back in the game?
