Exactly, we aren’t talking about a 40 yard field goal. It was 50 freaking yards [Reply]

Offense was fantastic that half. Just keep rolling. Defense needs to tighten up some. I'd run some more blitzes and stop knocking each other down. [Reply]
Sucks because by the looks of it all that FG needed was a couple extra yards to get in at the angle. Blame that miss more on those last two plays than anything else. Really dumb playcalling [Reply]

I think the play before the kick could have been better. That was the perfect spot for a 5 yarder to Kelce.
