I had a meeting from 6 to 8:30 last night. I DVR’ed the Bears game and decided I wouldn’t have time to also watch the Cubs game. So I sat through that crap and missed Kyle Schwarber’s grand slam.
I think I’m already on record being a lot more skeptical about this year’s Bear team than most. They piled up a lot of wins against really bad opponents last year and are going from the weakest schedule in the NFL last year to one of the toughest this year. Nothing about last night changed my mind. 9-7 or 8-8, here we come!
And by the way, what does it say about the protracted kicker tryout process that Nagy declined to kick a 51-yarder down 7-3 in the third quarter, opting to go for it on 4th and 10?
Maybe if they didn’t need a TD to tie it, Mitch wouldn’t have forced that 3rd and 10 throw into the end zone and instead played it safer to give the team a chance to kick a short FG to take the lead.
But that presumes they have a kicker that can make a 51-yarder, I guess.
