Gould missed a 36-yarder wide left as regulation time expired in a 26-20 overtime loss to the 49ers at Soldier Field on Dec. 20. A week later, his 50-yard try with 1 minute, 40 seconds remaining was wide right in a 24-21 loss to the Redskins, also at home.

Gould finished the season right near his career average by making 84.6 percent of his field goals, but he did miss six of his final 24."

This makes sense.  He missed two kicks that would have given the Bears wins at home.  Then, missed a couple of PATs this preseason.  Perhaps the Bears were smart to cut ties with him?  Maybe a change of scenery could do him good?  I'd still be all for bringing him in for some honest competition, as Nuge' is way too comfortable around here..
