OK, it’s bad enough that I had $25 bucks on the Bears on this game, and it should’ve been an easy cover. Forget that. This was a winnable game for a team in a division that may be up for grabs but will only send one team to the playoffs.
The post-58-minute-mark collapse by the Bears defense was inexcusable! Yes, you could have faulted Kyle Orton for not getting into the end zone in the first half on short drives, or for throwing a completely bone-headed interception that went for six the other way. The fact is, in the second half he put the Bears in position to win this game.
That’s all that can be expected of Kyle Orton this year. He had the Bears up by 10 with 5 minutes to go and by 7 with 2 minutes to go. This team is going nowhere if the defense gives up 80-yard drives in the last two minutes, commits stupid penalties and allows last-second touchdowns.
