…just cost us the game.

Tampa would have ben punting from the 10 and we would have had the ball at or around midfield. The dude punched our guy and Tillman tried to pull him off. What a bullshit call. I hope some fan punches the ref in the face as he leaves Soldier Field.

1) Turner should have run with Forte instead of that QB roll-run.

2) Davis NEEDS to make that catch. That puts us right around field goal range.

3) That penalty was one of the worst calls I have EVER seen. That’s the reason we lost.

No, Tillman shouldn’t have come in after the play was over, but it’s still absurd that they fouled him instead of the people who started the fight. How is it possible that there’s not an automatic booth review of every call in overtime, like there is in the last two minutes? We had opportunities, but it’s hard to capitalize on them when you’ve just been robbed sometimes.

Did he leave the booth in that third quarter? The Bears actually passed to their fricken recievers. Do that the entire game and we score near 40.

if there wasnt a personal foul

That’s two straight demoralizing losses – not quite Chargers’ territory, but that’s two games they should have won. Forte looked good, but I can’t say that anyone else really looked good. I know I’ll get crucified for this, but Rex Grossman doesn’t lose that game.

They are one of the shittiest teams in the league

Orton did a decent job managing the game, the two picks didn’t help at all but at least he had two td’s to go along w/ it. Lloyd looked like a #1 receiver, the one we so desperately need and the D played great up until the 4th quarter. I say if Hester was in the game we win. Unfortunately, he wasn’t. Something must be done ab. Hillenmeyer. I respect him for all he’s done for Chicago but his pass coverage is awful. Grossman would not have won that game, sorry fellows. Yes Lovie die, ur death will mean much greater things for an offense that the OC calls horrible play calls for. Forte once again shined. Two close losses? I can live w/ that. Had Tillman not gotten flagged for an apparent personal foul against TB, Gould kicks the game winning field goal, not the other way around.

I didn’t think he would be all that good

When Grossman was in everyone wanted Orton, now Orton is in and a couple of dudes here what Grossman… negative negative negative… think positive… and we should get rid of Turner first

Is that if you can get away with punching and elbowing a defenseless player then do it. How can the refs not call a personal foul early in the game, but call one when Tillman is trying to protect his teammate in the deciding minutes? Obsolutely rediculous! The Bears would’ve won for sure with at the very least getting the ball at the 50.

No, I’m not hating on Orton because he played a good game. If Forte comes up with that TD, and Davis makes that catch the game isn’t even close.

That intentional grounding call was the right one. Do you understand how that works? If the QB is not outside the hash marks and throws it to no one then it’s a penalty.

in the first half was the fake-punt. We had so many chances to pull away early and settled for field goals.

I’m just glad we have had some enjoyable to watch games so far… think of how bad the blowouts are going to be

Just trying to put a positive spin on it!

why the hell were they winded, offense was on the field for around 40 minutes!

I feel like this game was lost in the 1st quarter. When your defense GIVES you the ball inside the 20 (or 25 I can’t remember exactly where the first INT was), you HAVE GOT to score a TD.

Defense did melt down, but the offense NEEDS to be able to go for the juglar and put games away. We keep letting teams hang around. And that lies on Offense.

And everyone says IF_____ … then, we would’ve won the game.

There were so many things the Bears could’ve done better to win this game. But, I’ll focus on the piss poor QB play in the first half. We had to settle for field goals after our D/ST continually set us up with fantastic field position. Orton was absolutely horrible in the first half… and also threw a TD pass to the wrong team. Our play calling was pretty questionable as well. I mean, I remember being in the shotgun on 3rd and 1 for crying out loud.

If we had better play from our QB, we would’ve had a lot more points on the board. And, if we had a better O-line, our awesome rookie RB would’ve had a lot more yards. Every yard he gets is practically self-made.

Honestly, I know they were in run formation but that was not an ideal match up and when the Bucs checked out of the run formation you think that Hunter would realize that the slat was a good possibility.

Is that everyone knows the faults of this team, and aside from the Bears playing near perfect football on offense/defense/special teams the entire game, we will see them lose heart breakers like this for months.

Again, the Bears offense continues to get good field position, and throws it away most of the time. The defense continues to allow itself to get dinked and dunked to death in crunch time. Bend but don’t break is a fine strategy, but when the opposing team is practically a mirror image of the Bears on offense (especially since their best deep threat was out for the game)? Don’t you think it’s advantageous to mix up the formations a little?

That’s my take. We need more Rexy.
