Bear Down Wildcats

Anyone else not surprised by their loss?

I had someone chirping in my ear at half time about how surely the bears would win. I told them just to wait, and watch them lose.

FFS

I went to sleep just having read a hundred tweets about how the Bears are Super Bowl bound.

Woke up to a thousand tweets calling the Bears the biggest choke artists since Mama Cass.

Good times...

I didn't watch the game(celebrating Rosh Hashana) but checked the score on my phone and saw we were up like 20 points going into the 4th quarter. I couldn't believe it. I then checked about 10 minutes later and saw we were only up by 3 with about 5 minutes to go... I never even thought about turning on the TV, I knew what was going to happen!

It's a funny thing when of all of my sports teams that I root for, it's the Cubs who are the only serious threat to make any positive noise.

Pretty sure with my sports teams and our current government.... I'm already there!

Nice to get the win tonight. D had to score to make it happen. Just like old times.

Was an odd feeling last weekend.

Bears got the win.

UofA got the win.

Cool.

Uh. Well that was an unexpectedly brutal beatdown of Tampa today.

More please

The Bears are ahead of schedule.

The Monsters of The Midway are on their way back

classic bears loss.
fumble inside the one? yep
throw an interception into douible doverage in the endzone? yep
mismanage time at the end of regulation? yep
go into turlte mode on offense when you get barely inside your kicker's fg range? yep
have kicker miss the fg? yep
give up enough yards to the opposing team so they can make a last second fg? you betcha
lose out of a bye week? oh fuck yeah

fucking bears football

Looked like they had a little bit of an issue handling success.

Missed it by that much...

Way to lose again Bears.

Interceptions.

Pourous D to start the game,and throughout the game.

Giving up a kickoff return for touchdown AND a blocked punt return for a touchdown.

a hail mary that doesnt even reach the endzone?

classic.

3-3, bring on the mediocrity.

You give up 14 points because of ST, no tram has a shot vs NE

Bears, don't suck vs the Vikings this week.

Thanks.

Bears D had just been amazing tonight vs Rams

Did a damn fine job last night. Really needed it too with Trubisky throwing 3 picks.

If the D can play at that level in the playoffs....well I'm a Bears fan so I won't let myself get carried away just yet lol.

Pretty impressive play, watch the right tackle.

From Deadspin:

You probably don’t need to look too hard at that formation to realize that there are exactly zero skill players on the field. No running backs, no tight ends, no wide receivers. The play featured five offensive linemen, Sowell lined up as a tight end, and three defensive linemen. Jonathan Bullard, Akiem Hicks, and Bilal Nichols lined up in the backfield behind Sowell, and Roy Robertson-Harris lined up as a tight end on the other side of the formation.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen 10 linemen out there for the offense on any one play, ever, until that one.

Big man had good hands too

Bears win Division, Packers are out of the playoffs.

All is right in the world... for at least today.

Tommy Hawk had a good night too!

Prior to the season, I never thought that heading into the last game of the year the Bears would be in position to get a #2 seed in the playoffs (yes I know, would also need help via a rams loss).

Although there were a lot of mistakes today that damn well could have cost the game today, they still managed to eek out the win against the horrible 49ers. Phew.

12 win season.

I wouldn't have guessed it going into the season.

Happily surprised

Now, go beat Nick Foles next week!

I don't know what to say about the refs and that blown call late in the 1st half.

So bizarre that nobody on either team even bothered to move towards the ball and pick it up, usually someone on D does that.

Also, I could have sworn I've seen fumbles without recovery just given back to the offense before at the spot of the fumble. Am I imagining that?

So fucking bizarre

Yeah...this is what I thought the rule was too:
Oh nevermind, they explained on the broadcast that there actually is a rule for it regarding replay and shit. no clear recovery means you cant rule it a catch. odd.

Down by 1 with 1 quarter to go.....

My Cats and Bears are both making me sweet this weekend....

These comments made me turn the game on, and have to ask, don't the Eagles blitz? The Bear QB had all kinds of time to throw.

Reminds me of the end of the Arizona/ASU game. Prevent defense only prevents victory.

announcers said earlier that eagles have only blitzed on 18% (or something like that) of their defensive plays this year.

apparently its just not something they do much of

Not over yet!!!!!

Lol

Uh...our kicker did the usual thing he does.

Speechless

Oh shit

That fucking sucks.

Great game, but dear lord...

Alieberman wrote:Speechless

I was laughing so hard.

I called it to everyone around me when they iced him and he made that practice kick.
Pulled left.

lol.

da bears.

shoulda kept Robbie

Yikes

As a Rams fan, I’m very happy to see that defense take off their cleats for the year.

The kicker had hit 11 of his last 12 4th quarter field goals.

He also hit 6 uprights this year before that kick.

The call in Spanish.

Guess the Eagles really did win it then, instead of the Bears losing it.
