Yeah, I've been to every game in Champaign (preseason too). It had gotten to the point where, against the Pats, I was just happy when the Bears managed to have the lead for most of the game.
Before the overtime period, I was watching Edinger get in some quick practice kicks; he was kicking from the 35, into the wind, and they were falling short. So that might have influenced Mohrny's decision. Unfortunately for him, the wind changed direction so Edinger wasn't kicking directly into it when it counted.
My dad said he would have made the same call. That must be the old sailor in him: always going by the wind.
