    $20 per month...per team. Obvious the goal is to drive the Chicago sports fan to the $300 per year thing or at the very least $30 per month (if you aren't a Sox fan, watching the Bulls and Blackhawks would be $240 a year with the $30 bundle from Oct - April). The problem is the teams involved are all terrible. Maybe if they can't get a deal done with XFinity they will be motivated to put better teams out there to drive up subscriptions to the app.

    5 times in 41 games = a full 12% of all games coached by Flus have resulted in the Bears blowing a game with 90+% win probability in the 4th quarter.

    He’s the defensive play caller, not the DC. And sure he gets credit for the defense vs Tennessee which gave him the 7 points needed to win the game but the defensive performance overall doesn’t look particularly special because the Titans offense is atrocious. The Titans scored 17 points which was their 2nd highest point total of the year (believe it or not), they gave up 243 yards which is their 3rd highest yardage allowed this year. The Bears defense were probably a bit gassed with all the short offensive possessions but the Titans plays run is not particularly notable. In no way am I saying the Bears played poorly on defense in that game but the performance doesn’t really stand out compared to their other 7 games (outside of the TD scored)

    I mean I agree in theory but I’m not particularly upset about that not being called because I don’t expect it to be called since it never is.

    what in the world?

    That's gotta be like what the 5th game Eberflus has lost with a win probability in the 4th quarter of over 95%? 2022 Lions (blew 24-10 4th quarter lead) 2023 Broncos (blew 28-7 3rd quarter lead) 2023 Lions (blew 26-14 4th quarter lead with 3 mins left) 2023 Browns (blew 17-7 4th quarter lead with 12:30 left) 2024 Commanders (blew 15-12 lead on a hail mary) And that doesnt even include games where the Bears didn't blow a lead but were 1-2 plays from winning like 2022 Commanders (1st and goal from the 3 in final seconds and can't score to win). They've pulled a couple wins from losses too I suppose like the Texans game with Roquan Smith's INT to set up FG or the MNF Vikings game last year with the last second FG after Justin fumbled it away 2 possessions in a row, but damn that's a bad track record.

    I can think of 3 Bears seasons since 2008 that ultimately were altered by one very bad painful improbable loss: 2008 (Matt Ryan leads 11 second FG drive), 2012 (Russell Wilson last second TD drive then gets the ball 1st in OT and scores a TD), 2013 (Trestman tries a 49 yard FG in OT on 2nd down). All 3 of those seasons the Bears missed the playoffs by 1 game. This is how I cope, I’m sure there’s plenty you can rebuttal about those seasons or this game not being a big deal. I get it. Still sucks

    Who cares what game of the season it is? We’ve had 1 good season in the past 13 years, and that ended in an incredibly painful fashion as well. We’ve been waiting for years to feel something. We get that something, that one amazing come from behind win we surely don’t deserve but we get it right as we are starting to feel positive emotions about the team again. And it’s taken away in the cruelest way possible. obviously everything is still on the table, we’ll survive and play the next game and it will be fine but that still doesn’t take away from the dagger to the heart that was. Our pain as bears fans is usually a dull ache. This was pure pain. yes I’m being dramatic but that’s how I cope with sports heartbreak. That horsefeathers hurt.
  10. UMFan83
    That was one of the 5 worst sports losses I’ve ever experienced. Obviously bigger more important games have been lost but that was a dagger in my heart for so many reasons

    Unbelievsble
  12. UMFan83
    Did the clock not move? Wtf
  13. UMFan83
    No squib kicks please
  14. UMFan83
    Still 23 seconds left lol. Can’t say horsefeathers Daniels yet
  15. UMFan83
    Wow. We have the lead. Please no Atlanta 2008 situation here please. If you lived through that you know what I mean
  16. UMFan83
    Wow what a break. Veteran call there
  17. UMFan83
    What the horsefeathers are they doing??
  18. UMFan83
    Oh man I can’t believe Caleb got tripped up there. Sad
  19. UMFan83
    2 years ago the Bears lost to the Commanders 12-7 after the Bears got 1 yard away from scoring a TD late to take the lead/win
  20. UMFan83
    you can’t make this horsefeathers up. 1 good offensive drive all game and you fumble it away at the 1 yard line because you handed off to an offensive lineman.
  21. UMFan83
    Not gonna lie, that was absolutely hilarious even though it’s disastrous. what the hell is that play call??
  22. UMFan83
    Would be so weird if we won this after just destroying the team all game. I take back none of it. This has been an atrocious game, but we can still make it a positive
  23. UMFan83
    What did Moore injure? Seemed like a pretty innocent hit
  24. UMFan83
    Sweet another lineman down
  25. UMFan83
    Swift is our offense
