That will be the title of the 2011 Chicago Bears autobiography. The Bears played a brutal schedule through the first 10 weeks of the season and came out of it with a 7-3 record. After the San Diego game, we found out that Jay Cutler had injured his thumb. We then found out that he'd be out approximately six weeks. "He'll be back in time for the playoffs", we said. "No problem." Four weeks later: problem. We won't be in the playoffs. It still hurts to say it, but it is getting easier with every Caleb Hanie INT. Sure we still could mathematically get in if:
1) We win out AND
2) Either Detroit or Atlanta loses out AND
3) Seattle loses at least one of their last two games AND
4) Arizona loses at least one of their last two games AND
5) Dallas loses to Philly in week 16 or the Giants lose one of their last two games.
That's all. Last week I said that unlikely as it was, the Bears could still defy the odds and make a run. No more. I'm done. It's like they say; fool me once, shame on you, fool me four weeks in a row....
