I do need to thank the Chicago Bears for one thing.
There is only sadness.
Maybe you feel the same about your team.
So let’s lean into it.
Here are your sad stats for Week 14.
Even for a major data pipe.
Here are the Bears drives on that game.
Say what you will.
In fact, neither did the Bears on Sunday.
As a matter of fact - these drive result sequences look awfully similar to the eye at first blush.
Let’s take a look at the Bears drives on Sunday in Santa Clara to compare.
Yeah Pam - I know.
That’s the same picture.
The same exact story just told by two different NFL script writers.
Every Bears fan felt Deja Vu watching yesterday’s catastrophe.
We’ve lived it before.
We remember this exact punch in of pain.
Like it was… yesterday.
I hated seeing this stat.
Who’d have thought?
Not a great look Thomas Brown.
I haven’t seen someone fail upward like this in Silicon Valley in years.
That’s how close this was.
Saints were toast if that chip shot went in.
You think Haener was doing anything in overtime?
And only two quarterbacks in the play-by-play era have done worse than 0-8 for zero yards.
Yep - and not the Washington.0 version of Donovan McNabb or his even worse Minnesota.Vista final year.
Week 8, 2005 he went 0-10 in the opening quarter vs the Jake Plummer eventual 13-3 Broncos.
Remember when George Pickens said the only reason the Browns beat them was because of the snow?
Yeah - sounds about right.
Let’s look at a couple division rivalries thathavehappened since the last time the Browns swept the Steelers.
I’m a dad these days, so that’s my given right.
I guess it’s not that unprecedented, right?
(stop rolling your eyes, I’m almost there).
Here’s the catch!
…pauses for effect…
Neither of these division matchups have been division matchups since the 2002 realignment!!!
That’s been the story with this guy.
He has a better chance of breaking one from 60-75 yards out than one or two.
Yes - that leads the league too.
That’s enough for Week 14.
Better days are ahead.
Just not for us.
