8. Bears Lose 4th Straight, And It’s Even Worse Than That Sounds

Mon, Nov 4, 2019

Don’t look now, but the Bears have become good at something:  losing close games.  We’ve lost our last 4 by a total of 23 points, an average of just under 2 FGs.  To some, that’s a reason for optimism.  But Trubisky took another step back, starting with 5 straight 3-and-outs.  This put our D on the field twice as long as our O, which enabled Philly to gain over 200 yards in the 1st half, as our defense committed 6 penalties.  The Eagles scored on their first 3 drives, ran out to a 19-0 lead, and saddled us with our 5th loss.  The Bears are now like Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria – we’ve gone 11 months without power.  And our only hope is if we can get Trump to toss us some paper towels soon.

They beat us when WE had Howard, and then they beat us
when THEY had Howard.  And we had Mack BOTH times!
