The highest of highs if you make the kick and the lowest of lows I'd you miss. Personally, I wouldn't boo the guy, but if I had the talent to make a living kicking a ball, I think the risk is worth the reward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 How crazy for Nagy. He helped coax Foles back to football, plus had the chance to pick his opponent last week by resting guys in the 2nd half vs MIN ( a team he knew he could beat) instead of getting the Eagles with Foles. Pretty wild twist of fate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Philly seriously misses Ajayi, He was the key missing piece last year. Foles still looks money to me. Its a wonder that this guy was such a journeyman until last year. He can still throw a really accurate pass even in huge pressure situations. Even without Reich, Philly still looks well coached to me. As for Chicago they just need another player or 2 and they can get to the promised land. Great game to finish the weekend! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Foles is the coolest guy in the room. 4th down, are you kidding me ? Seriously, PHL winning another SB with him isn’t impossible. I wouldn’t trade him if he does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thronethinker Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 So all that Chicago gave up for Mack and the Bears still couldn't stop Philly when it mattered most.Blame the kicker but the D buckled on the scoring drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved seeing the Bores get bounced. It's an offensive league and they have talent but they were punished for not being more aggressive with that offense. Played not to lose.......brought themselves down to the 9 win road teams level. The more aggressive offensive HC's won the games in Baltimore and Chicago............and the Cowboys score was too close as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I hate to judge body language, but you could damn near tell Parky was gonna miss that kick. Such a mental position. Hauschka had a dip in performance after the injury, but he seems to have ice water in his veins. First kicker I've trusted in a long time. Rian Lindell had the same look as Parky any time he lined up for an important kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the deal is with Foles and these runs, but there is zero chance Foles starts over Wentz in Philly long term. Foles will get a shot as you said, but it won't be in Philly.

It is rough on the kicker and not excusing the fans, but keep in mind the guy had the most missed kicks in the NFL this season. It wasn't like the fans boo'd the guy for his first miss ever. At least the kicker will likely never be boo'd again since my guess is his career is over. Finding a new kicker will be a priority in Chicago.

Actually if you want to place blame look at the Bears' offense. You expect to win games if you only give up 16 points. Doesn't change the fact that a kicker who had a below average year failed at a game winning kick that, while certainly not a gimme by any stretch was still not a lengthy prayer.
