Robbie Gould on his Bears axing: ‘I didn’t know it was coming’

After 11 seasons as the most successful kicker in Bears history, Robbie Gould was asked to leave, unceremoniously replaced by journeyman Connor Barth on the eve of the regular season.

“They told me it was my performance,” Gould said Friday, recalling the reason he was given by Bears coach John Fox.

On Sunday at MetLife Stadium, it is possible Gould’s performance could send his floundering former team back to Chicago with a 2-8 record.

Considering the fact only one of the Giants’ nine games this season has been decided by more than seven points, the likelihood of the game being decided by a field goal is fairly high.
