8. Bears Lose ‘Battle of Wounded Knee’ in New Orleans

Mon, Oct 30, 2017

The Bears went down to NOLA on Sunday to make a statement to the NFC.  Unfortunately, that statement was an unequivocal and synchronous: “We’re not ready yet.”  And it was an argument they came prepared to defend.  Along with Zach “If You Read This Blog, You Saw This Coming” Miller’s freak knee injury (which literally took points off the board), we bone-headed the crap out of this game by figuratively taking points off the board as well.  Trubisky threw a bunch, but his most notable toss – his last – was caught by the Saints.  Even our defense came up lame.  Sure, the Saints are good.  But after lining up next to them, the Bears clearly don’t have a leg (or knee) to stand on in the NFC debate.

Miller’s last play.  And his last drop.
