Cody Parkey has received a lot of hate in the Chicagoland area after his 43-yard game winning field goal attempt bounced off the left upright and the crossbar before falling to the Soldier Field grass.  Parkey made headlines previously following the Bears week 10 matchup against the Lions when he hit the upright on four different kick attempts (2 PATs and 2 FGs). Sunday’s missed kick held a lot more weight since it cost the Bears their first playoff win since the divisional round of the 2010 NFL Playoffs.  

Bears fans took to social media to express their displeasure with Parkey, some in a more aggressive way than others, and Goose Island brewery has heard enough.

A lot of armchair kickers on here are saying that they could hit that field goal, which we find DOUBTFUL. You’re gonna sit there on your throne of potato chips and vape pens and criticize this dude’s athleticism? GET REAL. 2/5

This weekend during normal taproom hours we’ll have a chance for you to show off your kicking skills. Hit the 43 yard field goal and you’ll win beer for a year and eternal glory. More info coming soon. 4/5

Goose Island has sent out the challenge, let’s see who answers.  There are definitely people out there who can hit a 43-yard field goal without the pressure of a defensive line trying to block the attempt which is what actually happened to Parkey’s kick.
