It wasn’t just that it was against the Packers. It’s the fact that nearly everytime in the last eight years where the Bears get set up for a game-winning field goal that eight times out of ten, it somehow fails. Today was one of those eight times. Eight times too many.
I really wish I could just stop giving a shit about this team. To find something better to do on my Sundays. Play some video games that I rarely get to do these days. Or, yeah, my dog needs to be walked. It was actually a pretty nice day until that blocked field goal. It started raining right after. Go figure.
I know I will sound like a lunatic. But hey, I met my ex just over three years ago. I thought it was fate. Shit started happening in that relationship after four or five months. Then, all my teams somehow got even worse than they were before.
18 months after meeting, it was over. We didn’t speak for a while. Then earlier this year, started again until September.
So yeah, I’ll blame my ex for all of this garbage. She put the spell on me just like an ex did 13 years ago. Right after that ex left, Jay Cutler broke his thumb and the Bears lost almost every game after. Then about five months later, Derrick Rose tore his ACL and the Bulls were sent to irrelevance.
The Bears are fucking trash. The Blackhawks are well on their way to becoming the worst team in hockey again. The Bulls are irrelevant. Illini football and basketball have found ways to break me these last few years.
If only I could quit sports all together.

Take out the Cubs and put in the Bears. This is what it’s come to.

Hey, Chicago, have no fear, plenty more games to lose next year!

That’s the spirit, John!

John is quickly becoming like one of us old folks here by already looking forward to next season.
Seven games left in this season, which gives those assholes seven more losses for a wonderful record of 4-13. Hey, maybe they can get the number one overall pick. From there, Ryan Poles will probably trade it for two more busts.

All we do is pay you money to put us in a bad mood. You are a factory of sadness, Bears!

The Lions incidentally have more wins this and last season than the Bears do in the last four seasons combined. Is like we get one good year for every ten years of suck? The Bears have had one winning season in the last 12 years (plus three .500 seasons).

Well Fro, it looks like the guy in the WWE ref shirt and the “FIRE RYAN POLES” sign pulled double duty like week. Damn, two show for the price of one. Well done, my good and gracious Fitness Frendt!!!!

Matt UberLose just completely lacks self accountability, then doubles-down on it! A double-down clown of a coach! Caleb had a game winning drive in progress, about to beat Green Bay, with a fresh set of downs and a time out. At least TWO plays could have been run in that remaining time! Double down clown!

But let glass half-full Dave come out and say the offensive play-calling, 4th quarter notwithstanding (probably on Flus and not Brown) looked good in this game. It made sense, receivers weren’t confused. It was simplified for Caleb and he was able to get the ball out quick and complete passes to many targets. The running game was working as well. If the defense can regain some health (Brisker, D-line), I see a couple more wins possible this season, not enough to retain Double-Down Clown, though.

Playoffs are gone at this point, but I don’t care. It’s losing to the Packers (again!) that pisses me off. I am so beyond sick of this. Sick of being the free-win team. Sick of being the one team in the NFC North that isn’t competitive. Sick of being the only team in the NFC North that loses in any given week. Sick of seeing the names change but the results staying the same. Whenever the Bears lose to the Packers it puts me in a bad mood for the rest of the week.

Guys, I feel like we aren’t using the proper measurement for success. Wins and losses? Hard pass. How many other teams have had as many good weeks of practice as the Bears this past decade? Not many.
November 19, 2024 at 6:07 pm
Teddy is very much correct. The Bears are the best team in the league when it comes to practicing.
Let’s also not forget them “looking at the tape” to see what went wrong after every loss.

Teddy, I have just one thing I want to say to you:
WELCOME ABOARD!!!!!
That was perfect, good sir. You have just described, quite accurately, every goddamned Bears season since that asshole Michael McCaskey shitcanned Mike Ditka in January of 1993. Well done!
