That game last night was sick. How we ever managed to win being down 20 points and with Rex having 6 giveaways, I'll never know. Possibly the greatest comeback in Monday Night Football (at least in my opinion).

Go Bears!

Da Bears are Da Truth. Won the game without any offensive touchdowns... incredible game. I'm glad I stayed until the end, even though it looked a little bleak.

Insane.

Definitely not the greatest comeback in MNF history. First, it was GIVEN to them, and they only really won when Rackers missed. (This is a guy who, before the season in a promo for NFL Network, had three balls on the tee and said he would kick one off the right upright, the next off the left, then the third off the crossbar - and did.)

I'm sure some Jets and Dolphin fans can tell you about a MNF comeback...

Arizona Cardinals - "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory longer than any team in professional sports."

The Bears are a very good team, no doubt about that. But they aren't 16-0 yet. And they haven't won the Super Bowl yet.

They have a pretty weak schedule, so I can see them easily at 15-1. Maybe even 16-0. But this game showed they have weaknesses.

Even the '85 Bears found a game to lose along the way. And last year's Colts, and the '98 Broncos, etc.

It's a long season. The Bears should be proud of what they've accomplished, but they haven't got the rings yet.

Too bad a computer can't help him in the last two weeks...

Yeah I know that, but I still ask the question "Why?". Even though I know the answer is money, I still hate it.

Yep, money is all that counts.

Same reason why Budweiser was the official beer sponsor at the FIFA Soccer Worldcup in Germany.

Jets versus Miami. About 4 or 5 years ago.

I posted that above; however, it's still hilarious. What a moron Green is.

dbranham · Oct 18, 2006, 08:27 PM

I wish I'd seen the comeback. Stopped watching near the end of the 3rd quarter b/c Leinart seemed to have it sewn up. Doh!

King Bob On The Cob · 08:57 PM

No, when you're a 14 point favorite, you should NEVER have to have a comeback game against a team as bad as the Cardinals. I may eat my words later, but the Bears this season aren't for real. You have to be able to do some scoring on the offense against the Cardinals if you want to make it anywhere in the playoffs. You still have to get through the other two NFC West teams (Both of who play the game very similarly to the Cardinals, except better in almost every aspect

which includes the NFL leading in turnover difference Rams [Who are also 3-0 when they're the underdogs])

rickey939 · Oct 29, 2006, 01:54 PM

Ummm, 41-0 at the half.

D'oh! I took SF with the 16 points! I think that pick is toast.

I'm lucky my weekly pool is for bragging rights, and not money....

Ghoser777 · Oct 29, 2006, 03:29 PM

I'm so disappointed - they gave up another touchdown. (yes, I know they gave up three 2 weeks ago).

Yeah, it's the beginning of the end.

bstone · Oct 29, 2006, 05:24 PM

I haven't watched Da Bears sicne the 85-86 season (I was 5 yrs old). I think I'll start again.

gofridge · Oct 30, 2006, 06:58 AM

gofridge wishes a Bears vs. Eagles Super Bowl were possible.

gofridge is not sure for whom gofridge would root, though.
