Why no FG's?

I think it's a combination of: windy, cold, and bad footing. Pretty poor conditions for kicking. You could tell that the ball wasn't even sailing that well on kickoffs (by either team).

Kinda makes Masthay's day even more impressive! 5 punts inside the 20.

... and he was just as good against the Bears and Hester in the last game, 8 punts, 4 inside the 20, only 2 returned. In the 7 games after the bye, he had 13 punts inside the 20, and just 2 touchbacks. It is starting to look like he is a very good punter, not just a punter having a good game or two.

Agreed in spades. He has been absolutely pinning the other teams back there, it seems like every second punt is I20.

WRT the field goals, Chicago not trying from the 31 still surprises me, but I guess that's a 48 yarder. Punting sure didn't do them any good, ended up with 11 yards net.
