Candlestick Beatdown

It has been a long week. Not only was I not thrilled about the Bears playing last Thursday night, but I had to go to bar just to watch them lose. I watched every second of this game waiting for something to go our way, but it looks like the players' hearts aren't in it anymore. If I still haven't given up on this team why did they? When I texted my brother towards the end of the first half asking if its time to give up on this team, he answered, "it was four weeks ago". When Cutler threw his first interception in the red zone the camera showed Greg Olsen on the sidelines and I thought forsure it was going to be a running play. I have to question Ron Turner on that one. I saw a lot of good in this game and I think thats why I just can't let go. We saw that Matt Forte wasn't just a rookie sensation. He still is that good with the ball in his hands in open space. The defense isn't that bad. Its just when we're getting blown out and they're on their heels the whole time, its that much harder to defend. Oh yeah, don't forget that Robbie Gould connected on a field goal of 50 yards.

So we have some things working, its just a matter of making them all work at the same time and when it matters. If we have any chance at all, it starts Sunday night against the Eagles. We've had nothing but failures on prime time, and this is the time to send that message and make a statement. Unless the players have already given up on this year, and we'll know for certain come Sunday.

But even if they have, this organization has nothing to gain. We've already gotten rid of our first two draft picks in this upcoming draft, and I'm not sure who we would be able to trade for a first round pick. Maybe Lance Briggs, but if the Bears did that, I'm throwing in the towel on this team for good. Maybe.
