Because it's a walk-off.

Yeah, I still think that's more rare than an onside kick, even though there's not a lot of onside kicks.

There's a little bit of an... Yeah, true.

There's a little bit more of an element of luck to the onside kick.

I mean, you...

you know you got to set up a good kick you got to draw up a good scheme which they did all that but at the end of the day you still need a little bit of help from the bounce and and and the Packers dropping that one are not handling it on their end to get it so whereas the the block kick which we learned was a tell that Scott Daly the long snapper came up with and then they were you know practicing it and they timed it up perfectly and I just thought that overall was just

really good execution, not so much luck.

Oh, Bobenmeyer.

Bob Meyer from Evanston.

Yeah, I mean, I think overall it was pretty good.

I mean, I know that there were some times in the middle of the year that maybe things weren't perfect.

I think, look, Cairo Santos, what he was able to do, especially in the second half of the season, and it's probably a deeper conversation, but we are living in an NFL world right now where you have...

multiple kickers making 60-plus yard field goals, right?

And so that becomes kind of the shiny new toy everybody wants, right?

Oh, we need one of those.

And I get it.

There's certainly distance on kicks helps you.

But as we learned, and maybe there comes a time where the Bears actually have a stadium with a roof on it, and it won't matter as much.

But what we saw in the last half of the season when the weather turned, how important it is to have a kicker

who can go up there and drain a 51-yard field goal in the weather, in the wind, and kick it with confidence.
