A mole might be better now that you mention it, he's blind out there. Get the guy some glasses.

#calledit at any point during this game did it honestly feel we had a chance?

They had a chance all the way until the last second, and that was just falling 1 yard short while giving away 14 points on special teams.

Are you seriously going to say that you expected the Bears to lose because they were going to give up 14 points on special teams?

No, I expected them to lose because we were playing GOAT team of Brady and Bill.

they also got ten points on turnovers though........

And that last minute hail Mary would have tied the game, do you really think they would have won in OT? The biggest reason it was completed is the NE defenders were playing in the endzone, and the pass was short of the end zone bye 4 yards.


You got the Pats, minus Gronk, and then minus their starting RB.

It was a home game.

Are you still claiming a moral victory?

It’s a fan base that uses global warming as an excuse for a loss. You just have to expect whacky ass rationales for losses here. Like with the cubs selling T-shirt’s saying lovable losers lmfao only Chicago

The global warming excuse was put to rest earlier today though.

Absolutely, remember that it was the GOAT team of Brady and Belichick. Funny how "there is zero chance of the Bear beating the Pats" became a losing by 1 yard even with Brady and Belichick. Belichick is not someone special with special teams. The Bears special teams just shit the bed.

As for winning in OT, anything can happen, meaning that the Bears could have won.

Okay put Gronk in & give him the TD kick return. Put Michel back in & give him the blocked kick TD. Tit for tat.
Bears still lose. But a loss was expected. What wasn't expected was that the Bears would hang with them (at all.)

Many felt it was gonna be lopsided. So what you take from that is if Mitch ever gets on the same page as Miller or improves his ball placement. Its a W.
The D learns to tackle, gets pass rush it's a W. Personally remove Amos alone & tackling gets better. Godawful but it's his flailing at the ball that got Fuller his INT.
So many things that (can) & (should) be improved makes this team able to hang with the Patriots.

All in all Bears hung with Patriots about as well as the Chiefs. In the Bears first year in the system. That has to be a reason to have hope.

One of my brothers was a Kankakee cop, he talked to Jauron at training camp years ago and Dick told him...most of these rosters are full of the best players in the country and the difference is 1 or 2 players, and the difference in most games comes down to 2 or 3 big plays. Even in 2006 with Grossman the Bears had the Patriots late until Brady juked Urlacher in the luckiest move of the century.

I heard Dick Jauron say this exact thing on the radio back when he was our coach. I didn't see how that could be possible back then, but I do see it now because I have watched a lot of NFL football since then,. "On any given Sunday", any one can beat any one else. There are just so many variables. It does, indeed, come down to a few plays. There is a lot of parity in the NFL. Even when a team is heavily favored against a poor team, turnovers alone can make the game close. Teams win not because of luck, but luck is certainly involved in every game. Games are close because that is the way the NFL wants it. When trends have emerged and games tend to get lopsided more than not, the NFL changes the rules.
