Re: Week 13: Bears @ Vikings

I just read the game story on this one and some of your posts....Did Trestman think he was still in the CFL going for the FG on 2nd down?

Sheesh!

My bad.

It was hard to tell with the strong hyperbole in his post regarding "Field Goal Range".

I don't disagree, but it's a non issue if he makes it and 9/10 times he is going to make it.

72.7% 40-49 in his career.
90.5% 30-39 in his career.
100% 20-29 in his career.

I'd try to pick up the extra 10 yards in 2 plays myself (and hell, who knows, maybe even 20!). But what do I know? I'm just some dude on a message board.

Re: Week 13: Bears @ Vikings

I did like that we've spent weeks watching Forte get stuffed up the middle, so the Bears try it AGAIN today at the end of the 4th on second and third downs and blow it...then someone decides to run outside when we need short yardage in OT and he picks it up. The Vikings' 4th-and-11 conversion will get more notice, but the Bears inability to pick up one ****ing yard is the bigger momentum swing, IMO.

As for the finish, I don't mind giving Gould a 47-yarder because he will make it more often than not. I don't have any idea why they decided to give it to him when they didn't have to. Mind boggling.

EDIT: Or as seen above, he won't make it more often than not. Oops.

Just moving the ball 5 yards closer would have increased the chance of a made FG by something like 6-7%.

Re: Week 13: Bears @ Vikings

Fair enough. I said they should have ran it, but I guess I don't feel as strongly about the call as some. Not at all surprised they end up losing this one, though, so maybe that's part of it. Stats aside, I trust Gould more than not in that situation
