We saw the Bears lose on a very makeable FG attempt. Guys was iced, then missed.

We saw the Rams win on a 57 yard FG in overtime where the FG kicker also went 4 for 4 on FGs and 2 for 2 on extra points. That 57 yarder was interesting to me because a miss certainly would have given NO the ball in very good field position. But the Rams had a kicker good enough that the coach didn't go the safe route and punt the ball to pin NO deep.

So, is if time to look for a kicker with a better long range accuracy?

With so many more pressing issues at the moment, I'm not sure it is.  Randy is solid and reliable, just not a lot of range.  This is a position that will need to be addressed soon though.
