Tebow Didn't Beat the Bears; the Bears Beat the Bears

Still overly disgusted with that Bronco-Bear game Sunday. And even more disgusted with any idea that Tim Tebow beat the Bears. He had help from the other sideline and on the field. The Bears beat the Bears.

Until the 4th quarter, the Bears defense completely had the Denver qb under control. Then, it all fell apart.

All the Bears were doing was trying to prevent any big plays. That Denver TD drive was nothing but 6-8 yard passes to WIDE OPEN RECEIVERS. Each time, there was no Chicago player anywhere around. Great call there, Tice.

Then, there was Martz calling the offense. Everyone in the stadium, everyone watching at home and in bars, and worse, everyone on the Denver sideline knew exactly what the plays would be, hand-off to Barber and a resulting two straight three and outs.

Now, Mr. Martz, I am not a super knowledgeable football coach, but everyone knows that you absolutely do not want the other team to know what plays you're going to run. That never works. A pass every so often was definitely called for.

Then, there was bonehead play by Barber who should know not to run out of bounds. And to top it off, he allowed himself to have the ball stripped out of his hands when the Bears had a great opportunity for a field goal and win in overtime.

As punishment, time to cut your hair.

So, a 10-0 lead with three minutes left became a 10-10 tie and a loss in overtime 13-10.

Sad, Sad, Sad. --RoadDog
