VIDEO: Bears' Eddy Pineiro Misses Pair of Kicks in Brutal First Quarter
By Chris Pyo
The ghost of Cody Parkey's double-doink continues to haunt every single Chicago Bears field goal attempt, even after Matt Nagy forced the entire team to watch it daily during the offseason. Eddy Pineiro's recent struggles have continued into his matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, as he missed two field goals in just the first quarter alone.

As you can see, that first attempt was wide left. Can you guess where Pineiro missed his next kick? Yes, wide right.
Surely, though, he was hard at work this week correcting his recent struggles, though, right? Well, the...the optics are not wonderful.
Instead of practicing routine field goals last week, Eddy Pineiro was out auditioning for dancing with the fucking stars. pic.twitter.com/2qWCbYHZbY

Just brutal, Bears fans. Kicking is nowhere near the easiest profession, but these kicking issues have cast a huge shadow over Chicago.
Don't want to be premature but #Bears could be entering a kicking crisis. Eddy Pineiro is 3 for his last 7 on FG attempts. He also missed his first extra-point attempt last week.

Oh, Robbie Gould, where have you gone? Eddy Dinero might be on his way out nearly as quickly as he came.
