The flags at Soldier Field are not moving much today and Bears kicker Robbie Gould looked solid in warmups at both ends of the field in preparation for the Packers game.
Gould was hitting from 53 yards on tries to the south, and connected from the same distance kicking to the north. Gould is 2-for-3 from 50 yards and further out this season. He had not made a field goal from 50 yards in the first four seasons of his career.

Gould is 12-for-12 this season from 39 yards and closer and is 4-for-6 from 40 to 49 yards.
Packers kicker Mason Crosby is 22-for-29 this season, but five of those misses have come from 49 to 55 yards, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
"I watch the film and my steps look good," Crosby told the Press-Gazette on Thursday. "I continue to try to kick the ball the same way every time, that's where it's frustrating at times when it doesn't go through. But we're having a good week of practice, I feel as good as I have all year with how the (snap and hold) operation is feeling. I'm looking forward to getting down to Chicago and having a good one down there."
Crosby was good from 55 yards in warmups.
A pregame check of the weather showed that winds are blowing to the west at 9 mph, so that will not be a factor unless there is a change.
