“If I were Matt Nagy, I wouldn’t keep harping on that kick,” says former kicker Jay Feely, who was once spoofed by SNL after missing three field goals in a 2005 NFL game. He went on to be a reliable kicker for another eight seasons after that. “You wouldn't do this with any other position. Receivers drop passes. Quarterbacks throw interceptions. You wouldn't sign a quarterback and have him throw [the same pass at the same yardage repeatedly in practice] because the last guy threw an interception.
“Putting the kickers at that number piles expectations onto these guys. You’re creating a negative situation. Just move on.”
https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/08/21/chica ... dy-pineiroExactly. Plus the missed kick is on the offensive line anyway. Shut the fuck up, sign a kicker, and move on. Your offense sucks and so does your QB. Both are the reason you could only put up 15 points at home against a mediocre team missing its franchise QB. Focus on that, dumb patriot.
1)The kicker tryout was held in May. Nagy hasn't brought up Parkey's miss since then.
2)If the kickers couldn't cope with the pressure and negativity
deliberately manufactured by Nagy and his staff during the tryout, how could these snowflakes possibly navigate the stress of a standard NFL game (especially with Parkey's miss looming in the background)? Nagy tested the kickers by examining how they would perform in a difficult situation. Most of them failed the test.
Only two kickers, Bednarski and Fry, made more than 73% of their kicks during the tryout.
3)The Bears have run a conventional kicking competition since training camp opened in late July. Focusing on a three-day tryout--a minuscule part of the Bears offseason program--reflects a negative bias on the part of the SI reporter and a high degree of gullibility on your part.
4)Nagy is the reigning PFWA and AP Coach of the Year. You are spouting off like a half-cocked loon who routinely injures his head after passing out at a local watering hole and falling off his barstool. Do you live in Newark or Flint? You may be drinking lead-contaminated water.
