Bears Are Down 7....4th Down....10 Seconds Left...and Have 1 Time Out.......bears Do Not Use It? Why?

Why Not Make The Vikings Punt? You Could Block The Punt And Return It For A Touchdown......how Lovee Smith Is A Nfl Coach Is Beyond Me........the Guy Is A Fuuccckkkin Moron...

Wow, The Nfl Is Really Turning Into The Wwf........

That was about the dumbest fucking thing I've seen in sports, even though it will never be brought up again. You've got Hester, plus the chance to block it, and you decline the opportunity to do both, and take the loss. WTF was that?

It was a sign of respect after the Vikes went to a knee.

I agree though, your season is on the line, why not call it.

There would have been nothing classless about calling their last timeout. It's really a sin to not do everything you can to win a ballgame. And let's face it, the Vikings would have had a tense moment while lining up to punt. The game was not over, and the Bears conceded the game like a bunch of pu$$ies.

I think the Bears conceded this game when Smith started Orton over Griese...

4 yards per pass attempt...same old Orton...that is not going to get it done...

Also another Ron Turner hack job of play-calling:

38 passes vs 17 rushes. Horrible balance...they had the lead and Turner butchered the play calls...

Ron Turner is finished as OC for the Bears...I think he will be fired.

I was shocked and i mean shocked that there was no Timeout called

Plus the fact that you have arguably the greatest return man in history, and this is total bullshit

cant see how its class to not do everything you can to win, its called brainless

its as dumb as Larussa not putting in Pujols to pinch hit in the Allstar game with bases juiced and down one in ninth

I think the Bears should of called their last timeout to give them at least a chance to tie it up. Probably would of thrown a deep ball incomplete, but by not calling a timeout there was 0% chance to score. Think Bears would of won if they started Griese instead of Orton.

A deep pass for Orton is a 10-yard out. Muhammad would drop it though.

Fully expect GB to win by 14+ Sunday.

Q: Where do you go in Chicago in case of a tornado?
A: Soldier Field - they never have a touchdown there.

Q: What's the difference between the Chicago Bears & a dollar bill?
A: You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.

Q: What do the Chicago Bears and possums have in common?
A: Both play dead at home and get killed on the road!

And my personal favorite:
Q: What do the Chicago Bears and Billy Graham have in common?
A: They both can make 70,000 people stand up and yell "Jesus Christ".
