Allgemeines » CHICAGO (AP) — Cody Parkey sat by his locker

with a glazed look Seth Joyner Jerseys 2019 , struggling to explain how he did it again.The Chicago Bears‘ embattled kicker somehow managed to nail yet another upright and hit the crossbar while missing a 43-yard field goal in the closing seconds of a 16-15 wild-card loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.“You can’t make this up,” Parkey said.It was a cruel and appropriate end to a season in which he managed to hit uprights while missing field goals and extra points six times. This one came at the worst possible moment.Nick Foles gave Philadelphia a 16-15 lead on a 2-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate. Wendell Smallwood got stopped on a 2-point conversion run, Tarik Cohen returned the kickoff 35 yards to the 42, and the Bears (12-5) appeared to be in business.They had third-and-2 at the 25 when Mitchell Trubisky missed Anthony Miller on a deep pass down the middle. With 10 seconds remaining, the Bears turned to Parkey, hoping their kicker could extend their breakthrough season.After making three field goals earlier in the game, he sent one right between the uprights with a few feet to spare. But the Eagles called time to ice him so it didn’t count.Parkey then thought he booted a “great ball” on the next attempt. Several Eagles, however, said defensive tackle Treyvon Hester touched it.The kick hit halfway up the upright and ricocheted off the crossbar, bringing the Bears’ breakthrough season to an end.“There’s really no answer to it,” Parkey said. “I thought I hit a good ball. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it. I feel terrible, 100 percent take that loss on me. It is what it is. Sun is going to shine tomorrow. Life is going to go on. Unfortunately, it’s going to sting for a while.”At times this season, it seemed Parkey had as much success hitting uprights as he did converting kicks.He hit four while missing two field goals and two extra points in a win over Detroit at Soldier Field. He also hit one while missing an extra point in the regular-season finale at Minnesota.“I’m going to do everything I can to take the human side of it,” coach Matt Nagy said. “I think the easiest way you look at it is that you put yourself in his situation. You think he tried to miss it? No, I know that. But you’ve got to learn from it. You’ve got to figure out the why part, and he’ll do that, and we need to do that, too.”Parkey’s penchant for hitting uprights was one of the biggest mysteries this season. And his status becomes one of their biggest offseason question marks. If the Bears don’t release him Black Wes Hopkins Jerseys , they could bring in someone to compete with him.After signing a four-year contract, Parkey was 26 of 34 on field goals, counting the playoffs. On extra points, he was 42 for 45.“It was tough,” star linebacker Khalil Mack said. “But you’ve got to learn from this. I was praying, praying real hard, but things happen for a reason. I told him to keep his head up. That’s a tough pill to swallow for a guy in that position. But that’s still a teammate, that’s your brother.”Guard Kyle Long also rushed to his teammate’s defense.“I just told him, ‘Dude, you had like half our points,” Long said. “I can’t even imagine what he’s going through. It’s a tough job. It’s a really tough job. I just wanted to make sure that he understood we all had his back. And I think every single guy in here did the same thing I did. … We lost as a team.” THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

EXACTLY. EDTShareTweetShareShareFinal Eagles 7-Round Mock DraftMatthew Emmons-USA TODAY SportsLadies and gentlemen, we’ve made it. The final mock draft. The last gasp at prognostication. The final time you get to yell at me on social media.This is my prediction, according to the many things I’ve heard and seen over the long and arduous draft cycle. It is unequal parts Roseman’s tendencies, Douglas’s tastes, team needs, best player available, and wishful thinking — as all drafts are, there’s never just one reason to make a selection.1.25: Marquise Brown, WR Wes Hopkins Jerseys 2019 , OklahomaAs we’ve written about and discussed on podcasts a few times here on Bleeding Green, Marquise Brown to Philly at 25 has some serious legs — if he gets that far. Brown has serious Round 1 interest in the league for his game-breaking speed, RB-like vision with the ball in his hands, and excellent routes. Of course, Brown didn’t test and came into the Combine light because of a Lisfranc injury that should be monitored, but if he’s healthy, he has the potential to be an elite deep threat in the league.I don’t love this pick, but we don’t have much of a feel for where the Eagles might like to go at 25 beyond Brown, so he’s currently our best bet2.53: Deionte Thompson, S, AlabamaWe know the Eagles have done their homework on the safety class, though they haven’t done much work on Thompson — but the film speaks for itself on this player. Though he’s thinner and lacks hitting power, Thompson is exactly what the Eagles need to replace Rodney McLeod in the future: a true centerfield.Thompson showcases elite processing and great range from single-high alignments, able to bait quarterbacks into poor decisions and make plays on the football at the apex. His ball skills and range will help protect the Eagles’ Cover 3 corners from the double-moves that have plagued them in recent seasons.2.57: Yodny Cajuste, OT, West VirginiaThe West Virginia connection is a real thing for Philadelphia, as is the need for a 2020 starter at LT behind Jason Peters. Yodny Cajuste fits that bill nicely, as a player who could use some technical refinement before being thrust into a starting role.Cajuste is recovering from surgery for a torn quad, but will be able to go during the 2019 season should Peters go down. His size, aggressive physical play Black Herman Edwards Jerseys , and set quickness all lend themselves to Philadelphia’s brand of offensive linemen.4.127: Daniel Wise, DT, KansasIt took a bit of time to get down to the interior defensive line in this mock, but it’s a deep class and I don’t think the Eagles should be afraid of waiting on a contributor. They got one here in Wise, a strong penetration player with NFL bloodlines and a high ceiling.Wise’s physical tools are only modest, but he is a great penetration player because of his upper body strength, hand usage, and motor. As a rotational interior player, he makes a lot of sense, as he’s sound against the run and pro-ready in terms of build and strength. He’ll be maximized in Jim Schwartz’s one-gap, aggressive system.4.138: Joe Jackson, EDGE, MiamiReally love the fit of Jackson in Philly. He wins with explosiveness on the high side rush, attacking with quickness on the outside shoulder and bending around the edge — but at the NFL level, he won’t find his wins as easily with his first step, and must improve his hand usage and secondary counters.Philadelphia’s wide alignments will help Jackson maximize his explosiveness and get to that outside shoulder, where he’s a strong finisher with good surface-area reduction and balance. As a rotation player, he’s a smart run-defender who can stay on the field long-term if players get injured above him.5.163: Lamont Gaillard, C, GeorgiaIdeal backup for Jason Kelce here Herman Edwards Jerseys 2019 , who played through a ton of minor injury last season and is getting longer in the tooth. Isaac Seumalo can snap in a pinch, of course, but I’d rather leave my starting LG where he is and replace center, should Kelce go down — and I need to develop an interior player for Kelce’s retirement anyway.Gaillard needs a zone style system to be successful, which he gets in Philly. Good hand placement and footwork help him win in a phone booth, though his physical tools really aren’t much to write home about. He can’t execute the reach blocks and climbs that Kelce can, but then again — few can.6.197: Devine Ozigbo, RB, NebraskaA Combine snub without much production before this season, we don’t really know where Ozigbo is going to end up in the draft, but as a Day 3 option for the Eagles, he’s an interesting prospect.Ozigbo’s a big boy, but he’s surprisingly spry and, critically, active in the passing game: 39 receptions over his last two seasons. Ozigbo wins on zone-style runs, which pairs nicely with Jordan Howard, who will execute more of Philadelphia’s power/trap concepts between the tackles. The Eagles break the mold of UDFA RB here, but it’s worth it for a player of Ozigbo’s caliber.
