Funny you mention that because the announcers were stunned by the same thing. No one expected Bears to win and when they were still in the game in the 3rd, everyone was surprised.
I expected Bears D was gonna give up points. Stafford can light up even good defenses and our secondary blows. To have a chance, the Bears O needed to score 24 pts minimum. Obviously the D forcing a turnover or two would have helped as well. If we had scored a TD on that opening drive like they should have and maybe added one more FG, there was a chance. A slight chance but a chance.
You're not gonna win many games in the NFL scoring only 14 points. You're also not gonna win many games giving up layup TD passes either and losing the turnover battle.

And when going up against a much superior team, the margin of error is close to zero. You just can't make the stupid errors that the Bears did. So much of what they did was 100% preventable. They just shot themselves in the foot. LOL, in fact they just blew that sucker off their leg :-)
Well, we can point the deflated football finger a lot of places, but for me, it still come back to this secondary. This is going to be a horror show all season, and they will eventually demotivate, discourage, and tire the front-7. I have been a Bears fan for about 60 years, and I have a hard time remembering a group of Bears defensive backs as bad as this group. Can you?

No I can't remember, but LOL at my age there's a lot I don't remember :-)
