If a 10-6 , 7-1 collapse, no post season feels like this, what does 7-9 feel like?

So there is actually another person just like me who thinks that the only win that will ever matter is the one where you win the real chapionship. Not division titles, not going 10-6, not just making the playoffs, but actuallyu winning a championship. Praise the lord.

Did we get an elite receiver that set franchise records? Did we watch the Bears win 10 games with no offense/O line? No coaching/game management/adjustments.
Did we win in spite of key injuries, and without any kick/punt returns to speak of? Our special teams was almost as bad as our offense, and we still won more games than we lost. Did the Bears win games in spite of stupidity, lack of talent/scoring, and indoor playing surface?
Yes.
I refuse to feel bad about the '12 season simply because it could/should have been so much worse. We were lucky to win 8.

I agree also, but I'd be hard pressed to say it's a failure year if u lose a close game in the SB to a very good team. I know it's SB or bust, just saying.

Bud, who cares how many games you win if its not good enough to get you into the tournament? I can't even find the right word to express your logic.

You have to look at the season in 2 halves in which the second half is the far more important and then you see the epic fail of this season.

The 90s were worse, but this is still mediocre.

One team will win it all. (and deserve it)
The rest of the league will suffer like us, but with more injuries, later draft picks, higher prices for everything/everyone, and no more SB trophies than before the year started, like us.
10 and 6 is a winning season by any stretch of the imagination. (check the math if you don't believe me)

Epic? Really? Epic?
Philly was an epic fail. Detroit could be called an epic fail. Carolina failed in an epic way, and what about Kansas City?
Can we really look back and call this Bears' season an "epic fail" when more rookies than ever are lighting up the league and records are being busted all over the place? Really?

If I was Lovie, tomorrow I would demand an extension/raise.
If I was Emery I'd low ball Lovie just short of insult to hold him off, and get on the phone with Andy Reid.

I dont ever see anything wrong with perspective. 10-6 and a historic run by a once in a lifetime back put the Bears out. Could have been much worse.

None of the teams you've just mentioned started out like we did. Sure, the Eagles and Lions were supposed to be good. This is the biggest meltdown in 22 years qualifying it as an EPIC fail!

It's actually the biggest melt down in 16 years. As pointed out in other threads, Norv Turner's Redskins in 1996 went 7-1 and ended 9-7.

It's about how bad we shit the bed, not about how others put us out. Who put us in the position to need outside help?

From winning the division at 7-1 to 3rd place in the division at 10-6 is not a winning season...
3rd out of 4 teams = LOSER
