Thanks to everyone in the community. The forum definitely made this ride more enjoyable.
It was a bittersweet ride and I wish it turned out a little better with one last win, but I guess an NFC Championship is better than a first round playoff loss.
Beat Green Bay - Check
Win Division - Check
Win NFC - Check
Win SuperBowl - Maybe next year.......
Next up for the Bears - Pro Bowl and the draft.
I like TJ and I hope they keep both him and Benson. They both bring something different. The fumble by Benson and the subsequent injury was horrible though.
I think that happens when you have the biggest loss possible. On the biggest stage with the weather and field conditions in your favor. You are spotted 7 points (Hester TD) and an INT and you lose. That is really hard to do.
If the Bears win, I think he would hang around, but with the loss, he has more reason to bolt for more cash. This was probably the best chance at winning a SB most of these guys will have and they blew it.
Moose 0-2 in Superbowls. That has to hurt even though he did all he could.
Yeah yeah, but the way we played it was a hollow victory. The Bears lost..
Congrats to Lovie Smith for being the first black coach to lose a Super Bowl, and for losing one after having a 14-6 lead.
I really believe he is hesitant because of all his injuries. He needs to go. Nothing against him personally, the Bears have always had problems at QB.
Yeah, Addai or Rhodes should have gotten it. This makes me even sicker.
I honestly think his inability to move around in the pocket is a huge downside. He has a great arm, but thats it. He cannot read defenses and he folds under pressure. Leftwich and Garcia are both available.
Ok, it is not completely Rex's fault, he is not out there missing tackles, but he is the leader of the Offense, and he did nothing to help the defense. How long was the defense on the field? Eventually you are going to tire and miss tackles.
Rex did not get us here. Come on, the defense and Hester carried this team all year. Grossman got easy yards and easy TDs. Benson would have helped, but he would not have been the difference.
Yes we are young, but does Briggs bolt for more money? Who is the QB next year? There are a lot of questions for 07/08. This is the worst way to end a season.
There is no way. Jones had a 100 yd game and the receivers did everything possible. Hell even the Special Teams came thru. All he had to do was not make mistakes.
