Not to anyone’s surprise, Philly phoned in the Bear’s season Sunday night. But at least this one was close. Somehow, we managed to score 20 points. The defense forced 3 turnovers and got 3 sacks. And despite trailing most of the game, we actually had the lead with less than 6 minutes to play. Yes, the Bears finally showed some signs of life, playing their best game in a month, and giving us reason to tune in next Sunday. But it wasn’t enough. And unlike last year, when we beat Philly and they went on to win the final Wild Card spot, there will be no reversal of fortune.
Having now lost 3 in a row, and 5 of our last 6, Bears fans will no longer be watching with post season aspirations. No, we’ll be resigned to watching with scant hopes for an occasional, and most likely surprising, victory. And that, dear friends, is our 2009 season. (more…)
