The Bears cut longtime kicker Robbie Gould before the season and replaced him with the younger and cheaper Connor Barth. That plan hasn’t worked out well.

After missing a 50-yard attempt late in the first half today against the Lions, Barth is now just 1-for-3 on field goals for the season. He joins Buccaneers rookie Roberto Aguayo as the only kickers in the NFL who have missed more field goals than they’ve made.

Bears fans at Soldier Field in Chicago could be heard chanting “Robbie, Robbie” after Barth missed the field goal.

Barth would have been booed even more for giving the Lions good field position, but the Lions’ offense bailed him out, as Matthew Stafford threw an interception on what appeared to be a wrong route run by receiver Golden Tate at the end of the first half. The Bears lead 7-3 at halftime in an ugly game.
