    We all know if the Bears went for it on 4th down they weren’t going to get it. This is the Bears. Forget even that Getsy probably calls a run up the middle to get stuffed. This is the Bears. The Bears have never had an offense that would make you feel confident they could make a 4th down to put a game away.

    So I didn’t hate the FG. The next possession was WAYYY more problematic. The FG set them up to have a chance for kicking a FG to still win. Had like 29 seconds left to do so. We’ve seen a team with 17 seconds left and I think no timeouts get to FG range and beat the Bears.

    So that wasn’t the problem. Wish we’d focus on the real problems and not about that possession.

      You cant just say they wouldnt hit that because “bears”. They were 2/2 on 4th down conversions yesterday.

      That 4th and 1 decision was huge, and was a problem. Given the talent gap with the Lions you need to turn it into a 3 possession game before getting comfortable against one of the top teams in the conference.

      The coaching is the problem. Vikings were 1-4 going into week 5, same as the Broncos, same as the bears. The Vikings lost JJ and Cousins… The Vikings are 6-5, the Broncos are 5-5 and the bears are 3-8. The coaching is the problem…
