The 2015 Bears are officially in hospice. The Broncos, coming off 2 straight losses, brought their top ranked defense to town, but left the legendary Peyton Manning at home. And it turned out to be a wise choice. In case anyone didn’t hear it the 147 times it was mentioned during the game, Denver’s backup QB (Brock Osweiler) is 6’8”, his parents drove 14 hours to see him, he made his first career start, and it was his 25th birthday. What you may not know, however, is that he came in having thrown just 54 career passes – over 4,000 fewer than Cutler. And not only did Osweiler out-play Cutler, but he’s the only AFC QB to beat the Bears this year, knocking us down to 1-4 at home. And, for all intents and purposes, ruining our chances of making the playoffs. Happy fricken Thanksgiving.

Denver seemed delighted to play w/o the noodle-armed Manning
