YoloinOhio Posted January 7, 2019 Author Posted January 7, 2019 On the bright side, Bears fans, at least they will show replays of that kick every game for the rest of your lives forever... 1 1 1

I know that’s their job, but it can be the loneliest job in the world sometimes. It has to be the worst job to have, that's an amazing amount of stress and pressure

It made him think about it more. I think he shouldn't have taken the practice shot. Don't make yourself make it twice.

Bing Bong Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I must have been wrong on every playoff pick so far.. cool.

He helped coax Foles back to football, plus had the chance to pick his opponent last week by resting guys in the 2nd half vs MIN ( a team he knew he could beat) instead of getting the Eagles with Foles. Pretty wild twist of fate. And meanwhile Harbaugh kept Flacco nailed to the bench. Different strokes for different folks.

Maybe, but look at the consternation on Parkey’s face and watch him shake his head when what amounted to his “ practice kick” went through. It looked as though he was thinking “ oh no, I have to kick this again “. If anyone managed to get a finger on that ball , it was ever so slight. It just looked like he pushed it left, it wasn’t short as if it were blocked. Kickers are a funny lot, and some guys do actually psych themselves out. Taking that TO might not be the right move vs every K, but the fact he had hit the uprights 10 times this season ( 2nd most in the league) wasn’t lost on Pederson. Yogi Berra once said “ 90 % of the game is half mental “ . Or something like that. Edited January 7, 2019 by Boatdrinks

BuffaloRebound Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 The first kick barely made it over the cross bar from 40 yards. You knew he was gonna try to put more on it and pull it.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 1 minute ago, IronyAbounds said: Actually if you want to place blame look at the Bears' offense. You expect to win games if you only give up 16 points. Doesn't change the fact that a kicker who had a below average year failed at a game winning kick that, while certainly not a gimme by any stretch was still not a lengthy prayer. I was more thinking that the Bears offense took the lead by 5 points in the 4th, and 2 stops by the D grounds them Eagles. The Bears won 3 games this season scoring 14, 15, and 16 points, so 25% of their win total goes bye-bye if they “only give up 16 points”. Come to think of it, that would still have won them the division, but would it have changed what team they played? Might have been good for them

Nextmanup Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Did not notice the tip during the game and neither did the broadcast crew. That's a tough way for a team to lose.
Aussie Joe Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Out of interest, Did the Bills block a FG this year?
