Bear Down Baffa

Plain and simple, the Bears got they ass whooped.  Again.  Only this time, they scored fewer points and actually lost.  And it was an ass whoopin’ both figuratively and literally.  They were beaten in every aspect of the game, and battered like Guantanamo Bay prisoners.  And it’s about time!  Realistically, we haven’t beaten anybody yet.  And on Sunday night, it was like the dealer who’d been giving us free crack for three weeks came to collect – and we didn’t have any cash.  

The offense was completely inept.  We couldn’t run, we couldn’t pass, and we couldn’t block.  We netted just over 100 yards, averaged just over 2 yards per play and only 7 yards per drive.  We went 0-13 on third down, and didn’t have a drive that lasted more than 5 plays until we went for it on 4th down on our 15th drive (our first drive of 6 plays).  We fumbled 3 times, threw 2 picks and only scored 3 points – and those 3 points came only after we recovered a fumble on the Giant 29.  Oh, and we lost two QB’s to injury because our O-Line played like they thought the Giants defense had leprosy.

And the defense even sucked.  We allowed almost 200 yards rushing, almost 6 yards per play and more than 3 times the yardage we gained.  And we somehow forgot how to tackle.  It looked like the Bears weren’t allowed to tackle someone until he was touched by at least three other players first.  If it wasn’t for 3 Giant fumbles, this game would have been a complete blow out.

The Cutler Calamity
The Butler was horrific.  If the Giant defense was a heat-seeking missile, Cutler was a caldron of hot molten lava – on the sun.  After sacking him 9 times, they knocked him out of the game with a concussion at the end of the first half.  But he has no one to blame but himself, after holding onto the ball in the pocket like it was glued to his hands – except for the 3 times he fumbled.

Game Ball
This week’s game ball goes to the NY Giants, who put on a defensive clinic and treated our QB’s like tackling dummies.

Summary
This shellacking could serve as a huge wake-up call for the Bears, and could be just what they needed, as good teams respond to this type of embarrassment.  If the Bears are who we thought they were, they will come out super-charged next week and knock the snot out of Carolina.  If not, then this is the beginning of the end.  Either way, the Bear’s roller-coaster ride ended Sunday night.

Super Bears, Super Suck!
