Man oh man oh man. I walk away to chcek on my makeup water and bam the Buc's almost tie it up. Then tied.

Personally I think the Bears should have used the timeouts they had to try moving the ball into field goal range in the fourth rather then punking out and going into overtime.

The above said I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.

Not only that Grossman actually put up some pretty decent numbers.

i almost had a heart attack. I was as mad as i was happy half the time. Both teams were playing fairly well... made for an exciting game. That fumble that ended up in a touch down against us was the turning point of the whole game !!

Is it just me or with 3rd down and 2 yards to go on the 50 we decide not to run the ball....

Exactly my point. With TWO timeouts left and 1:17 to go? COME ON!!!!!! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!

how did they not challenge that play at end of game?


.................F-I-X
Please specify which play. Only the booth can challenge during overtime. There was a lot of official communication and one review.

My brother and I were at the game this afternoon and the Bears made most of the 2nd half much more difficult to watch than it should have been. I haven't heard many quotes or analysis, but leaving behind 3 timeouts at the end of the 4th quarter and walking off the field really bothered me. Why not let Rex try to take the team down the field? That would have been a great time to see what he could do in that situation. Oh well, a win's a win, we had a great time at the game, and the Bears have home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs!!!
 
Rob,

I'm totally with you. I was just wondering if anyone else was screaming at the TV (or directly in your case) like I was.

I was screaming at the TV-but there was a voice in the back of my head telling me bad Rex is still inside that head and could pop out for an off the back foot floater from his own 28 to ronde barber for a bucs D-TD. ;)

You could tell the Bears thought the W was in the bag in the 3rd qtr-lucky win! But I'm sure glad they pulled it out.
 
And Much like your avatar PK1 I heard Ditka yelling about squandering that time. At the same time I understand what you mean about Grossman's schizophrenia. If he'd have dumped it off to Barber I would have heard Ditka screaming like he was yelling at Harbaugh after an audible.

Man, I'm glad someone else posted this thread because I don't think I'd have had the subject line read so PC!

That was a bush league second half. Sometimes I think Lovie is a genius but lately I think his true colors are showing through. Having them walk off at the end of the game just showed everyone that he doesn't trust the offense, bad move.
The defense just opening up like swiss cheese?! What's going on with that?
