Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:01:00 -0500

More photos » by M. Spencer Green - AP Browse more photos » The Bears came out a little flat offensively (as usual) and their defense was struggling to tame the Lions. Fortunately for the Bears they have one of the better special teams units in the NFL, led by coordinator Dave Toub. Brad Maynard was his normal stellar self, Robbie Gould finally got the 50 yard monkey off his back, but it was the man most in ...

The Gould standard

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:52:50 -0500

Robbie Gould has become so incredibly accurate that it’s almost a shock when he misses a field goal. Gould’s missed 53-yarder Sunday at Seattle snapped a streak of 14 straight successful kicks, dating back to Nov. 9, 2008, when he had a 48-yard attempt blocked. Gould converted 26 of 29 FG attempts last season, but 2 of his 3 “misses” were blocked. Before Sunday, the last time Gould actually got a kick past the line of scrimmage that didn’t go through the uprights was more than a year ago, on...

Notes from Bears-Seahawks

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:15:09 -0500

CHICAGO -- Picked up some interesting tidbits after going through both the Bears' and Seahawks' game notes: We all agree Jay Cutler's first half against Green Bay was a disaster. But here are Cutler's numbers in the past six quarters -- 386 yards, three touchdowns, one interception and a completion percentage of 69.2. For all you Robbie Gould doubters out there -- the Bears' place-kicker is 20-of-21 (.952) in the last two minutes or in overtime. Not only is Gould acc...

Monday Morning Quarterback: Bears-Steelers (9.20.09)

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:06:52 -0500

Lost in the dramatics of Robbie Gould’s game-winning 44-yard field goal against the Pittsburgh Steelers is the fact that the Bears not only defeated the defending champions but avoided an 0-2 record that few teams in the past have ever rebounded from to make the playoffs. Per Brad Biggs of the Sun-Times, since 2000, only 9 [...]

Ten Questions From Yesterday

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 07:51:10 -0500

What were Jay Cutler's facial expressions like last night?Is Robbie Gould the best kicker in the history of this franchise? More to the point, is he becoming one of the best kickers ever?Isn't it strange that on a week where I took time out to write about our receivers' coach, the team forgot how to catch?Is Johnny Knox really our number one receiver? I don't have any problem with it but damn I'm surprised. This draft will have yielded Jay Cutle...

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:59:48 -0500

Chicago 17, Pittsburgh 14. Robbie Gould's 44-yarder with 20 seconds left was enough to lift the Bears on a day when their running game stalled (18 carries for 43 yards). Ben Roethlisberger threw for one touchdown and ran for another. Baltimore 31, San Diego 26. Ray Lewis stopped Darren Sproles behind the line on fourth down late, and the Ravens seized the early lead of the AFC North.
