Because they don't manage the game to be ahead by multiple scores. They manage the game to be close into the 4tb, against good and bad teams. Definitely. They knew they don't have a ton of talent so basically hoping to play a bunch of coin flip games and hope that Lady Luck is on their side and they win 60-70% of those coin flips. Instead they are 4-5. What's frustrating though is that it's not like we were down 10 then scored a late TD to lose by 3. Many of these games the Bears were a mistake away from winning. Detroit: up 4 with the ball and 3 mins left, 3 conservative runs and then Detroit scores a TD Minnesota: up 10 with 4 mins left, lose in regulation San Francisco: a lot of mistakes but missing a relatively chip shot FG for the win Washington: worse example but interesting play calling let and another missed FG for a kicker who use to be extremely clutch
