Another missed FG costs us

[John63]

35 yards again.

Taking that sack the previous play didn't help much either.

 

[pinksheets]

So did the bad QB play.

 

[Cyrus12]

Yep both gotta go. Blair Walsh 2.0 is trash

 

[cymatica]

Lol. You can't blame that loss on a field goal. They just suck and the coaches are incapable of putting together a competent gameplan

 

[Cyrus12]

Qb on the other side of the field was better too.

 

[WmHBonney]

The "throw anything against the wall and see what sticks" offense combined with the "let the opponents march down the field and hope we get a stop in the red zone where there is less room for our defense to cover" defense is what cost the game. And incompetent coaching.

 

[Seahawker86]

hes got to go. how many games might have we won if he didn't miss kicks

The hell you can't cy.
In a tight game like this, you need ALL THREE PHASES to be >>WORKING<<, and if you lose by >ONE MEASLY POINT because a missed field goal?
That's one reason kickers get replaced. :141847_bnono:

This. I am much more disgusted with Russ taking a sack the previous play than the missed FG itself. Hero Ball kills us again. I'm ready to move on from Russ. He just takes WAY too many sacks.

The game should not have been that close. The offense and defense completely collapsed in the 2nd half. You could even argue the Bears failed 4th down negated the missed field goal.

At least Nagy had the stones to go for 2. Pete decides to punt in Bears territory on 4th and 4, which then turns into a Bears TD.

Nope, three less points on the board for the Seahawks, which would have been a 2 point win margin.

Would we have won if we made the field goal? Yes. That being said, we also got lucky a few times. Wilson almost threw an INT in the endzone in the first half. If the defender didn't lose control at the last moment, that would have negated a touchdown.

The game came down to what it did, based on poor coaching and lack of execution above all else. We built a lead and decided to play soft-zone defense and run a very basic offense. It's kind of how we come out in playoff games. Foles just was able to exploit the soft zones and we did nothing to stop him. We took our foot off the gas and let the Bears back into the game.

Pete Carroll cost us, not our kicker.

Totally this. Myers missed the 35 yard FG by a whisker, hooked wide at last moment. 15 yards closer that kick is good.

 

[PlinytheCenter]

Getting beat by the Bears. At Home. Terrific. Well done all. I think we're done here. TIme to go Pete & Co. to take a hike. Thanks for the memories and our SB championship. Which, by the way, is becoming increasingly more apparent was on the defensive side of the field. Time to go boys.

What do you mean? That 3 points was the game. The sack before was moronic on Russell, but it's all solved if Meyers doesn't miss. He's had too many missed that cost us severely. It's unbelievable. Under 40 yards has to be made period.

 

[Boycie]

35 yards again.

In crap weather. You forgot to add that. Maybe if your boy doesn't take the sack, it get's made?

 

[hawkfan68]

Jason Meyers has been awful this year. I didn't realize how bad. I thought he would at least be near 80% FG% but he's at 68.4%. Not sure why he wasn't released. Another issue that needs fixing quickly. Another player who is making more money than his actual production dictates.

Football God didn't smile at us this season, that's for sure, couple of lucky swing would put us in playoff hunt, if not secured a wildcard spot.

The missed FG played a huge part in this loss but I believe the bigger culprit was coaching. Leading up to the missed FG Rashad Penny was doing almost what he wanted. Chicago couldn’t stop him. After the long run that got the offense down into the red zone before the ill advised sack and missed FG, Penny never even touched the ball. So much for feeding the hot hand. I felt at the time and I still do that if they gave him a couple more touches instead of trying to throw, which wasn’t working most of the game, he would have scored a TD and the game would have been a win. Not that it matters in this $#|+ season, but a wins a win. At least the remaining draft picks will be near the top of each round. Gotta find positivity where you can.
