THE 2013 CHICAGO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!

polaris_x

game was lost when the coaches decided to run the ball 3 and out the entire 4th quarter ... if you don't even try for a first down - all you are doing is tiring your defense ... and that's what happened ... by the end of the game - defense had no gas ...

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 ...

you can't play to not lose ...

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.

agreed.

and that strategy isn't playing not to lose. it's the field position battle at that point.

oh well...at least david is happy....now he can run around and say haine is 0-3 and they should start mcgowen

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 ...

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.
