Robbie Gould just missed a field goal. (MNF, Rams vs. 49ers)

I can’t remember the last time I saw Gould miss one. Maybe during his PSU days.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Yeah, it doesn’t happen very often.

Leaving him go cost Da’ Bears at least 1/2 a dozen games over the next 2-3 seasons.

his percentage of made FGs is quite high, but he's only had one season in the NFL where he was 100% in terms of his made FGs to his FG attempts. He had missed 1 previously this season (9/18, against the Seahawks).

FWIW, the lowest % of his career was 2019, when he made 23 of 31 attempts, or 74.2%. Heading into tonight's game, he was 86.4% for his NFL career, having made 425 FGs out of 492 attempts.

Leaving him go cost Da’ Bears at least 1/2 a dozen games over the next 2-3 seasons.

Unless Da Bears were destitute (pretty tough for a NFL team to be), it's hard to justify their not resigning him after the 2015 season. In his last 3 seasons with Da Bears, he was:

Year	Made	Attempts	Pct.
2015	33	39	84.6
2014	9	12	75.0
2013	26	29	89.7

Yeah, veterans make more than rookies in the NFL, but a dependable placekicker wins games, and is worth the cost to a smart, well-run team.

Tom, I hope you noticed I did reply to your private message last Thurs!

But they got Cody Parkey. Nothing really bad happened with him, did it?

Butter.
