Did anyone else enjoy watching Osweiler outplay Cutler today?

Don't let the last 2 weeks fool you, this team is still a giant, mostly talent-free, dumpster fire.

Whenever there is losing or misfortune, CFiHP will be there, irritatingly telling you he told you so despite never actually having done so.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

One quarterback played the #1 ranked defense in the league. The other quarterback played the 27th ranked defense in the league. I know you accounted for that, though.

I don't have any idea if the Bears are good or terrible or somewhere in between, but I do know if feels great to not give a shit about the Bears or the NFL. Turns out Sundays are just kind of like Saturdays now. It's super cool.

Blaming Cutler for yesterday's loss is like blaming Czechoslovakia for failing to stop Hitler. Your second sentence is fairly accurate. I don't recall anybody in this community getting fooled or excited about what the Bears are though.

I found the quote rather telling as it was indicative to me that CFIHP did get fooled by the previous two weeks, as only someone who had would be asshurt about yesterday's result.

I mean that Broncos defense held CFIHP's beloved Aaron Rodgers to 77 yards passing, expecting Cutler to dominate them without anyone who could reasonably called an NFL wide receiver seemed a bit much.

Whatever makes you feel better, I suppose.

No traffic.  Had a nice brunch.  Ran some errands.  Enjoyed some snow melting.  Life is good.

I think I've watched about 8 quarters of Bears football this year. Watched most of the first half yesterday, and the last 2 minutes. Watched the end of Chargers game.

It's been nice.

I've watched most of the past 4 games. I don't get very emotional. Sunday afternoons are about relaxing on the couch and if the Bears win, great. If they don't, fine. I know I said I was done but I just can't quit completely as long as Cutler is there and playing decent. I've got enough invested in that to see it through - with zero expectations.

Yeah I mean I can't say I don't completely care. The few times I have found myself watching it's not like I didn't want them to do well, their failures just have no effect on me whatsoever.

Yesterday's was the first Bears game of which I watched all 4 Quarters.  Until then I think I had  probably watched a total of 4 Quarters all year.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I shake my head when the 2015 Bears win a game.  Did they trade away their position in the draft?  Did they catch a team having a bad day?

That's typically the story. But they're playing everybody close right now. They don't have difference makers on either side of the ball. Nobody who can just physically destroy an opponent and change a game on just a couple of plays. A big play receiver, a burner at running back, a defensive lineman who can eat a quarterback raw, big hitting safety, Peanut Fucking Tillman... none of these things exists. If that's the case, you can hang in against other teams and if the other team is bad, hell, you can win. If the other team has Clay Matthews or some of those bitches on that Denver defense, well, a loser is you. This seems oversimplified and it is.

These are the Wannstedt-era Bears. But we've been told that this Ryan Pace fella knows where to find difference-makers and that John Fox can take his'n and compete with your'n.

This is not a trainwreck. It's a traffic jam on the interstate on a Wednesday and you need to call your boss and tell him you'll be late and you're super sorry. And he's like meh, see you when you get here.
