Even if the score held up at 27-3 and/or became a blowout, it changes nothing. This team is rotten trash. After tying the largest blown game in franchise history on Sunday at 21, the Bears tried to outdo that by blowing a larger lead at 24. And if it wasn’t for a lucky break on a two-point conversion and missed field goal, the Bears lose this game.
Tyrique Stevenson needs to fuck off. Two pass interference penalties tonight and he could have had at least one more. Just unbelievable. Save the “he’s a rookie” bullshit. I believe two calls were with passes that were way out of reach. The no-call was so damn obvious, Stevie Wonder would have noticed it. I get the secondary is depleted with injuries. Greg Stroman was great in the first half with that interception before halftime. Everyone else? Roaming around not covering receivers and missing tackles in the second half. I believe the defense gave up over 300 yards in the second half.
I have to also point out the strip that the Bears recovered in the third. Instead of running the ball, they went three passes and punted. Next drive for the Commanders? Touchdown. The offense repeated the garbage from last week: Dominate the first half and become non-existent in the second half. That last touchdown to D.J. Moore was damn near intercepted. Just absolutely frustrating. This is another reason why box scores are deceiving at times.
Part of me was just ready for the Bears to completely blow it. I joked with our good friend Jimmy D. earlier when he was texting me how I thought the game would go. I told him they would get their asses kicked and Eber-LOSE would have been given an extension tomorrow morning. That’s what we as fans have come to expect from this football “franchise.”
This team should be 2-3 now. Due to the blown game on Sunday, they are 1-4. Anyone think they are going to beat the Vikings in ten days? If you say “yes,” you’re either delusional or lying. This season can’t end fast enough.

I understand and fully respect your take, but I’m going to enjoy the 20 point win anyway; and $100 I won by halftime in a same game parlay (Fields over 192 passing yards , Kmet anytime TD, and Herbert over 46yds rushing). The defense forced two turnovers and finally got a mess of sacks on the QB. Yeah the Vikings probably bring the Bears back down to earth after the mini-bye, or maybe not. RIP Dick Butkus.

Well, Fro Dog, we wanted Fields to perform, didn’t we? 8 TD Passes in two weeks! 300+ and 200+ AND the Panthers are looking like they might be in for a long season. Bears get the #1 pick off of them?
(Knocking things back to earth a bit, this was, yes, probably our equivalent of the Super Bowl. It might be the best, and one the few, wins we’ll have this season.) 40 or more points scored for the first time since 2020.

I’ll say this about the Commanders. They sure played the way the Bears usually play. Half-hearted and unable to do anything whatsoever, and only getting things going when they’re in a deep hole already. Of course, when it comes to the Bears, there is no hole so deep that anyone cannot come back from when playing them.

Had nothing to do with Butkus’ passing, but the Bears got lucky with this victory. The Redskins (I’m not sorry, but I don’t do “Commanders” or “Football Team”) happen to be a more horrible team, especially with Woke Rivera as their HC.

“…especially with Woke Rivera as their HC.”
Well, I think Ron would get in a lot of trouble if he was sleeping during the game.
