did you watch the game?
if barber stays inbound on the 2nd down play, you run 40 seconds off the clock and denver gets teh ball back with less than 20 seconds....vs. the minute that they had.
then if you don't fumble it in OT, you have a shot at kicking a very makable FG.

right. the play calls were correct. you don't want to put the ball in hanie's hands with the game on the line. he's way more likely to toss an incompletion and accomplish the same thing barber did running out of bounds (stopping the clock).

ya ... i watched it ... if the bears get like 1 first down in their last 3 possessions - it would have been a shutout ... prater would have been good inside 70 ... all they needed to do was get to midfield ... in 2 plays ... the way you guys played prevent there ... not a problem ... it should have never gotten to that point ...

totally disagree ... it's one thing to throw an INT when you are behind and need to force it ... it's another to throw one when you are up and TO's is an issue ...
by going 3 and out - all they did was tire their defense ... allowing tebow to hit wide open guys ...

if the dummy rb didn't run out of bounds the broncos would have had the ball deep in their side of the field with less than 20 seconds left. that is what you want if you're a bears fan.

if anything, you can blame martz for calling a run to the short side of the field, vs going up the gut, or to the wide side.
and that strategy isn't playing not to lose. it's the field position battle at that point.
if chicago gets ONE first down in their last 3 possessions ... the game would have been over ... i'm not saying barber wasn't an idiot ... but the coaching was awful ... playing prevent with so many people covering deep to a guy with a weak arm!? ... and again ... prater's range at mile high is like 70 yds ... they didn't need a lot of distance to get them to that point ...

if he didn't run out of bounds it would not have mattered that they didn't get a first down. denver would have been pinned deep near their own end zone with time for one or two plays. bears would have put their saftey's at the 40 to prevent any deep passes.

i liked their strategy. it just didn't work.
i'm sorry ... if you are playing in the nfl and as coaches you can't drum up some plays to get 1 first down in the final part of the 4th quarter ... you deserve to lose ...

oh well. we're talking about a team that lost to the chiefs 10-3 last week.

Yeah all he to do was go down...game would have essentially been over...then he fumbles in OT to make matters worse...with the exception of 2 maybe 3 teams the nfc sucks.

fuckin lost the game twice....how the fuck do you lose the game twice.
fuck
that has to be one of the worst loss's in the history of the bears.
Just got back from Denver...
What a fucking mess. Marion Barber has to be one of the dumbest football players in the NFL. Run out of bounds and fumble in key situations when that is the one thing he couldn't do. Fuck. Walking out of that stadium w/ everyone chanting 'Tebow, Tebow' was so painful. I wanted to die.
Other than that awful ending to the game, it was a good time. Denver is a pretty cool city.
i keep hearing that people were shocked at the bears loss...that it was the worst ever.
by the play calling in combo with player ineptness plus the tebow factor, i fully expected them to blow that 10 pt lead and ultimately lose the game.
stick a fork in hanie and da bears and bring on rip hamilton and da bulls already
If you don't think that was one of the worst Bears losses ever, you are kidding yourself.

the game was over, the win was in hand....if Barber falls down inbounds on 2nd down, you basically run out the clock. game over.
you go to OT, you are down to the 25 or wherever the ball was...and fumble....well in Gould's range...knowing that Gould is one of the most accurate kickers of all time....game over.
game was over twice.
i don't think it was the worst ever, being it was a reg season game, but to lose a game twice....that hurts.

it's a regular season loss without starting qb and possible allpro rb. a sicker loss was at atl a few yrs ago with that fucked up pooch kick and they marched to a last second fg. the denver game came at no surprise to me at all. i knew it. why? tebow.

it wasnt painful bc i expected it. i prepared myself for that loss. plus, i was the only one here who predicted a loss vs the broncos.
stop with the nut job/crazy talk. youre the idiot who thought hanie s/b the qb.

The 2008 Atlanta game? As I recall, they were losing that game in the final minutes and Orton drove them down the field for what looked like a comeback victory only to have them cough up the game at the last second.
This game was well in hand and they pissed it away. Much worse.

Exactly. I don't care about all the Tebow bullshit or who was playing for the Bears or whatever. They had the game won twice and fucking blew it. Unreal.

im not happy that hanie sucks but i think sid luckmans corpse is a better qb than caleb hanie

The bowl and loss to green bay last year were more heartbreaking under the circumstanes of the games..god bless.
Bidding ends in a half hour. Current high bid is a whopping $170. Face price for the pair is $180.
