I thought robbie gould was a top kicker?

[ttwarrior1]

and 50 yard fg's are usually a chip shot for him

I have packers but just saying

[SamsNCharge99]

i agree....they gained 11 yrds on the punt...good for them

[YorkHunt]

which is already gone on that run ha

[Double Bogey]

Unfortunately we have bad, tentative, conservative lovie today. I really hate that fucker

[Chandler]

Lovie, just trying to turn the field around finally for one round of possessions. Chicago is all about field position.

he trusts his defense

but in this situation I say go for the points.

[paco]

Lovie Smith is a dumbass.

Maybe Jj was right, black coaches are not that smart besides Tony Dungy

[MarkDee]

they passed on 49 and 50 yarders wtf???
in a playoff where there getting manhandled makes no sense

[hanco21]

puzzles me of the poor play calling.

[frizzelli]

warrior where is your cousins pick you liar?

[BRAVES1985]

lovie had the under 37.5 yard FG prop

[Doc JS]

Kickers go out before the game and practice. The coach knows what his max distance is for that day before the game starts. It's January, wind chill is low teens to single digits, the football is hard as a brick, the field is basically painted mud, the wind may be a factor, as well. To criticize Smith for not going for the FG shows a lack of understanding of all that goes into the decision...

still should of went for that one fg . 11 yard net on punts are a joke

WRONG...

Just like when the right move is to fold a hand and then the next card would have completed your inside str8, folding was still the right play.

Punting, because presumably because it was outside of the area where the kick was +EV, was still the right play... the fact that the punt sucked doesn't make the decision wrong...

Lovie Smith is an idiot - it's the only explanation.
