Bear Down Baffa

The Bears won a real yawner on Sunday in a roller rink up in Minnesota.  It was a slow, bland, conservative game.  Kind of like the early-bird special at an old folks’ home.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that we won.  But It was almost like we weren’t even trying.  With nothing on the line, and the Bears heading to the playoffs, it was like a pre-season game.  Let’s call it a pre-post-season game.  And since we haven’t been to the playoffs in 8 years, it feels weird to win a throw-away game on the road with little effort, and be unmoved as a fan.  But that’s what we’ve all been waiting for, right?  To win so much that we get tired of it?  Well, it’s finally here.  And we have one person to thank for it.  #TrumpMadeAmericaGreatAgain!

See, most of the Bears are bored, and we just scored!

It was so nice to NOT be playing SF for a higher spot in next year’s draft.  After splitting with the 49ers while doing that the last 2 years (and losing all those picks in the trade for Trubisky because of the win in 2016), this year we already forced ourselves into the bottom 12 picks by winning our division.  So the only thing on the line for us was a chance at a higher playoff seed.  And with SF already at 10 losses, and throwing a backup QB at us, the table was set.  But we played some backups of our own, so it wasn’t exactly a walk.  But we got the W, proving once again that the Bears are on Santa’s Nice list this year.  We’re now just 4 games away from Supa Bow, Supa Bears!

It took almost 8 years, but the Bears finally avenged our loss to A-A-Ron and GB in the NFC Championship game in January, 2011.  And we did it in epic fashion.  Yes, the Bears beat the Packers on Sunday for just the 3rd time in 16 tries since.  And not only did we knock GB out of playoff contention, but we clinched the division for the 1st time since that fateful 2010 season.  And as sweet revenge for GB’s largest 4th quarter comeback of all time in week 1 (when Kyle “My List Of Regrets Had Never Been” Fuller dropped a sure pick that would’ve sealed the game for us), we broke Rodgers’ record streak of consecutive passes without an INT at 402.  And we did it at the most critical moment in Rodgers’ season.  Where’s your fake “title belt” now, Rodgey!?

Is it me, or does he look like Fire Marshall Bill on this play?

It’s not often that you get to play the #1 team in the NFL.  It’s even less common for you to look forward to that kind of action.  But it’s the most rare of occasions when you also happen to be on the up-and-come, and not only do you get the upset, but you dominate those mofo’s like the goalposts did Squi a few weeks ago, letting almost nothing through.  I’d be lying if I said the cold weather wasn’t a factor, but I’d also be lying if I said I cared.  They say that in order to BE the best, you have to BEAT the best.  Well, the Bears just did that.  It’s now our conch to lose.  And all I have to say about that is that we didn’t come here looking for trouble, but it looks like we’re down to Supa Bow Shuffle!

If you decided to stop sniffing glue this week, you picked the wrong week.  The Bears had fans on edge for a solid 3½ hours Sunday, as they were given a dozen second chances, but turned most of them down.  Both offenses had non-QBs throw TD passes, but both also 3-and-outed 4 times, and were otherwise an embarrassment to their respective cities.  The difference was that we started over-priced practice-squad QB Daniel “I Have Two First Names, And They’re Backwards” Chase, whose earnings per fumble is falling faster than Giraffe Neck Glennon’s did last year.  Despite his QBR besting Eli Manning’s (75.6 – 65.2), he threw 2 picks, and dropped the ball as many times as the FBI attempting to indict Hillary Clinton.  It took overtime for NY to seal it, which was a victory in and of itself with a backup QB, but I think we lose this one 100 times out of 100 with Mr. Chase.

Saquon Barkley made Adrian “Famous” Amos famous!
