Well, at least the Bears played one of their worst games of the year.
At least they didn't have a chance to get up by 3 scores early in the game without making stupid miscues.
At least Manning didn't try to spot us 14.
At least we weren't still in the game with 11:00 to play, down 5 points with the ball, having only gained 120 yards of offense on 30+ plays.
At least we didn't almost go into the lead at halftime somehow.
2 dropped snaps. 2 deep throws slipping out of our quarterback's hand. I know from experience, if you have a smaller hand, the ball is ridiculously slippery when wet. My hands were so small the ball would slip out on the backswing everytime I tried to throw back in the day if it was wet/muddy. It's probably one of the most overlooked parts of football that can totally change the fate of a team. Teams should really have a plan for when their QB can't grip the ball. Ours clearly couldn't.

Point well taken about smallish hands and wettish ball.
I told my daughter (age 12 and still a True Believer) at the first interception during that catastrophic second half, "Well, we just lost the game."
She jeered at me. I told her if I was wrong, I would do all her chores on Monday.
Today she's doing all of mine.
Waaaahhh!
As most Chicagoans say most of the time, "There's always next year."

Hey, the way I see it...
Bears = 1 Super Bowl Win.
Colts = 1 Super Bowl Win.
They can come bragging when we're not tied anymore. :-)

That's a fine, fair way to look at it. Me? I want my day in the Bears Fan Doldrums. I've earned it. Nobody's gonna take it away from me.
Tomorrow I'll think about spring training. Not today.
