Well, that wasn't pleasant...
With less than three minutes to go in the Thursday night game, I look over to Chili Dawn and say, "you know, even if they take it downfield with a big last-second touchdown, I will not be able to say that I'm happy about this game."
Well, as if to spare me the existential angst of being unhappy about a Bears win, Jay Cutler threw that last-second pass to a red jersey. A suiting end to an awful, awful game.
To his credit, the first thing our QB did in his post-game press was to thank the defense for keeping them in the game. Unfortunately, everything he said after that was a waste of our time. We got an "it just didn't work out", and a "we gotta lead better." Really? IT just didn't work out? WE gotta lead better?
And Lovie, as you might expect, said that SF "made plays".
Shouldn't SOMEONE on this team be angry? Shouldn't SOMEONE on this team be unable to keep quiet about how rotten they're playing? Where's the passion? WHERE'S THE PASSION?
Normally, after a game like this, I'd take a day to cool down a bit before putting fingers to keyboard. I love the Chicago Bears. I always want them to win. And I always want to believe that they WILL win. But they are really testing my generally optimistic nature the past few weeks.
Well, we get a few extra days rest before Philadelphia - an entirely beatable team. The team needs to do some soul-searching. And someone needs to bring some fire.
And yeah, Lovie, we have to make some plays.
