As Robbie was kicking his second field goal (his 10th in row from 50 or more) my wife commented. "Robbie needs to go over to Hester and say 'how many times have you scored today'?

 

God I love her.

Gould has actually made 12 in a row from 50 yards which ties the NFL record with Blair Walsh on the Vikings.

We are and have been fortunate. Butler for all those years. Jagger for a while, Eddinger who was good early in his career, and now Gould. It's easy to forget that time between letting Jeff Jagger go and desperately searching for a good kicker we trotted out some awful kickers for a while. It's certainly invaluable when you have a kicker who can not only hit from 50+ but consistently so. Those guys are not easy to find. Hope we keep Gould around and he has many more years here in Chicago.

The thing is Gould couldn't hit from 50 early in his career, nor could he do kickoffs deep enough to force a touchback. To his credit he worked on improving his leg strength over the years and he has maintained his accuracy. He will still be a Bear next year.
