16. Bears Win In Draft By Losing Finale

Mon, Jan 4, 2016

Finally, we did something right.  We lost our season finale at home against a division rival with whom we were tied for last place.  This renders us 1-7 at home – and you can only get one loss worse than that.  Most seasons, that would be horrific.  But the Bears did what they knew was best – they took one on the chin in an exhibition game to ensure we draft ahead of Detroit (sucks!), a team that has taken 6 straight from us.  And in doing so, we’ve secured the 11th spot in the draft versus what could’ve been as high as the 17th if we had won, and Detroit falls back to 16th.  It’s finally over, AND we get a good draft spot.  I guess it really is a Happy New Year!
