I knew it. I just knew it. As soon as the Broncos began that drive down 28-7, they had a couple of big gains. I just knew it.
You can blame Getsy for that idiotic pass play that lead to a fumble and score to tie it. You can also blame the defense for completely falling apart in the second half.
You can also blame Darnell Wright for his penalties. Same goes for Getsy on the 4th and 1. Fields was there to run the ball himself. Everyone knew Herbert was getting it.
I am writing this recap as Wilson just threw a pass for a huge gain. It’s at the two-minute warning. I already know the Broncos are going to score and win.

Perfect call, Fro Dog. Spot on.
28-7. Heh-heh-heh-heh! 28-7! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! 28-7! Bwa-ha-ha-ha! 28-7!!!!!!!!!! A blowout turns into a choke.
Guess who was the color commentator. Matt Ryan. He is the kiss of death for large leads. No wonder what happened. The defense absolutely crapped the bed in the fourth quarter. Allowing an easy touchdown. Then the Bears can’t convert a third down after being so good all day. What a surprise, it turns into another easy Broncos touchdown. The Bears . . . wow, fumble recovery for a touchdown. Bungle a 4th&1 when they could have kicked a FG . . . or had Justin Fields try to run an RPO, and . . . the first play the Broncos run turns out to be a thirty yard pass. I told my Dad when the drive started that this was where Fields was going to screw up. He is not a clutch quarterback and he is going to have a crunch time turnover and . . . what do you know!
Well, this is the death knell for Fields. He had a career best game and still found a way to lose the game. Sorry, but stats like that don’t matter when you can’t deliver the W. Sure, the defense was crap, but they also played pretty well in the first half, and the run game was good. So . . . this is not a good indictment. Caleb Williams, anyone?
OUR LOSING STREAK IS AT 14 GAMES!!! This is the Bears worst start to a season since 2000!

No John, Matt Ryan isn’t the kiss of death for large leads. THE CHICAGO FUCKING BEARS ARE THE KISS OF DEATH FOR LARGE LEADS!
They could have been up 100-0 in the fourth quarter, and they still would find a way to lose!!!! This is complete fucking bullshit. Somehow, some way, the fucking McCaskey Crime Family has to be forced to sell the team. It’s finally come to that. Seriously, if they fired Eber-FUCKING-LOSER today, does anyone here honestly believe that they’ll get the next coach right? I don’t. If they draft Caleb Williams next year, doesn’t anyone here think they’ll develop him properly? I don’t. This shit isn’t getting fixed. I’ll bet everything I have on it.

You know, when I got up to watch the game, I wanted the Bears to have a disastrous couple of first series and for the Broncos to be completely dominating the game so I could get a pretty good indication of how things would turn out so I could turn off the TV and go do something else instead of wasting my time.
But, to my surprise, the Bears were playing well. I said to my Dad that I was astonished. I had expected the Bears to be playing as bad as they had against Kansas City. And when they got up 28-7, I said to him that this might be the end of their losing streak. I had visions of the Bears being able to build off of this win and gain momentum, maybe even start a winning streak.
But . . . lo and behold, I was an idiot who outsmarted myself. I was right all along! Fool me once. Fool me twice!
October 1, 2023 at 3:48 pm
To put this into perspective, the Bears, after getting off to a 28-7 lead . . . against a defense that gave up 70 points a week before . . . against a team that had five/six false start penalties . . . against a team that hadn’t been able to get much of anything done . . . on a day when Fields had a career best game in terms of TD passes and passing yards . . . on a day when he set the franchise record for most consecutive passes made and didn’t throw his first incomplete pass until the end of the first half on a hail mary . . . on a day when Khalil Herbert rushed for over a hundred yards . . . on a day when Cole Kmet caught 2 TD passes . . . on a day when DJ Moore had over 100 reception yards . . . still found a way to lose against an 0-3 team with probably the worst defense in the league.
Yeah, we’ll be lucky if we even manage to win a game. That’s how bad we are. This might be the closest the Bears will get to a win all season. Maybe, just maybe they might beat the Panthers?? Finish 1-16?
Disgusting! All of the hype was absolute lies!
October 1, 2023 at 3:49 pm
The Bears can’t even win ugly because they can’t win at all! All we do is lose prettily . . . or ugly!

I was wondering if anyone else knew this particular rule since I am too lazy to search the NFL rule book.
The first touchdown by Moore: He didn’t have a foot down, but it hit the pylon. Doesn’t the pylon count as part of the field and thus, part of the ground per se? The call stood and he clearly didn’t put that foot down.
Regardless, the referees helped the Bears quite a bit early on with those calls. And they still couldn’t pull it off.
October 1, 2023 at 6:55 pm
Fro, I noticed that too. I thought that it WASN’T a touchdown, and the officials in the reply booth blew the call. I don’t know what the rule is, but in my opinion, that was not a touchdown. If what you say is true and that pylon counts as part of the field, that needs to change. It should simply be a marker, nothing more.

Guess what, gentlemen of the darkness. The Bears tied their franchise record for the largest blown lead in franchise history. What did I say? The Bears had their own 28-7 today.
Their defense is so bad that through four games they have forced only one turnover, which was an interception thrown by a backup quarterback in the midst of a blowout at garbage time. This Bears defense makes the 2013-2014 defense look like the ’85 Monsters of the Midway.
Guess also what, gentlemen of the darkness. The Bears at this point in time hold both the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks in the 2024 Draft. The Panthers have the exact same record as them, and the Bears own their pick from the 2023 No. 1 pick trade. Well, I suppose if there’s anything to be said about Ryan Poles, he knows how to tank a team better than Phil Emery and Ryan Pace ever could. It would sure be hilarious if the Bears end up going 0-17 while the Panthers go 1-16, their solitary win of the season being against guess-who.
October 1, 2023 at 8:12 pm
John, it really doesn’t matter where the Bears are in the draft. If it’s Ryan Poles drafting, you can rest assured that he’ll fuck it up so badly that the Bears will get the number one pick in 2025 and maybe even 2026. THAT is how fucked up this organization is!
October 1, 2023 at 8:58 pm
The Bears scored more points today than they did the past two weeks combined . . . and they still lost. In fact, it was the most amount of points the Bears have scored in a game since week 11 of last year. The Bears have not held a team to at least less than 25 points since week 7 of last year, and they have not held a team to less than 27 points since week 15 of last year!
The worst the Bears have ever gone in a season was 1-13 in 1969. Could they challenge that this year? Last year was already the most amount of games they had ever lost in a single season in franchise history.
All we do is lose, lose, lose no matter what, got defeat on our minds we can never get enough. And when Fields steps up for a game winner he promptly coughs that ball up! And a turnover! And a turnover! Turn. It. Over. Fields. ‘Cause all we do is lose, lose, lose! Cough that ball in the air let it stay there!

Well, for as dumb as it might have been, Chucky, for Ryan Poles to deal a 32nd overall pick to the Steelers for Chase Claypool, something which I was feeling hesitant myself about when it was done, he may have aced that draft pick trade to the Panthers considering how bad they are even with having drafted Bryce Young. The Bears could potentially draft Caleb Williams No. 1 overall and then trade the other first round pick, potentially the No. 2 overall, to get even more picks out of it. Not to say they couldn’t screw those up, Chucky. But, to put it into perspective, whether they win or lose against the Panthers once they play them, BOTH outcomes would be beneficial for the Bears in the draft.
Oh, man it’s going to be one roaring dumpster fire of a game when the potentially winless Bears square off against the winless Panthers. Fittingly and stupidly, the game is going to be on prime time.
October 1, 2023 at 9:57 pm
GAH! DO YOU ALL REMEMBER WHAT WINNING FELT LIKE? NO? NEITHER DO I!!! SO FRUSTRATING!!!
October 1, 2023 at 10:04 pm
This angry firestorm of mine in this blog session has been brought to you by the drink CHOKE™, the official beverage of the Chicago Bears. Always remember, if you are CHOKING™, call 911.

Chuckster!
I wanted to listen to Hampton and O.B. today and surprise, they stuck the lame ass White Socks on their air. It’s pretty stupid that the Bears left WBBM for a station that nobody gets clearly unless they are in the city limits. Yes, there are affiliates in the suburbs. But I’d rather have the flagship station.
But regardless, I fear for O.B. That poor guy has seen so much losing both from his playing days and now. I am kind of happy I didn’t listen or else I would have been more pissed off.
John, you have quite the stats there. Our old friend Irish Yeti is probably jealous of you right now.
But let’s be clear: Only stat matters and that’s wins. They didn’t win the damn game.
October 2, 2023 at 12:02 am
Always happy to provide them, Fro Dog!
One other statistic, speaking of the opposite of wins, the Bears current losing streak has just with this game landed them on the Wikipedia page of the list of longest regular season losing streaks in the NFL. They are making history. I was wrong about the Jags holding the longest consecutive losing streak in NFL history. That one belongs to another Chicago team, actually. The Chicago Cardinals 1942-1945. 29 games lost straight.

Talk about Bear Down. Bomb Down, more like.
Geez, this makes the 2014-2017 years look like a Super Bowl dynasty!
