***************************************

Lovey didn’t tell ME…but my guess would be that he expected a 7-year professional to play like one.

Then why didn’t “Lovey”, whatever kind of a fu@ked up name that is, have his QB take a knee and not risk a fumble or other mistake?

“beelined for the sidelines” is a weak
straw man argument.

The problem is that all he needed to do
was go down in the field of play to secure
the victory. Pretty damned easy.

He wasn’t trying to lose…but he also
failed to do something easy to win
…and that cost his team a game.

Makes a bonehead a series of bonehead plays and is unwilling to stand up and be accountable. However, he always more than willing to play locker room politics. His former running mates TO and Tank Johnson will attest to how vocal he can be behind the scenes. Don’t look for any positive leadership and accountability from this clown. Sorry Chi-town but you now know what Cowboy fans have known for years.

Fumbles happen. Can’t get too mad about that. But the out of bounds thing. Have you ever seen a player not stay in bounds in that situation? I mean ever. Cause I don’t think I’ve ever in 20 years of watching football seen a guy go out of bounds like that. Man. Just fall down dude. Just fall down. That saves us all an entire week of agony seeing Tim Tebow everywhere we look.

That’s honest to god the worst I’ve ever taken a Bears loss. The super bowl loss wasn’t as bad as that game. The last 3 Packer games haven’t even been that bad. 5 days later I’m still filled with rage just thinking back to it.

Really? Barber needs to learn to not fumble and not go out of bounds?

The way you talk about it, it sounds like barber beelined for the sidelines confused about how football works rather than being pushed out by denver’s defense as he tried to stay in.

And it was a strip fumble again by a great defensive play. Barber didn’t take the hand off and set it on the ground.

And I hate it when people say that 2 plays decided the game. Chicago’s defense had all the chances in the world to stop the Broncos offensive and Chicago’s offense had plenty of chances to score.

Barber’s fumble wouldn’t have happened and the out of bounds wouldn’t have mattered if they were up by 20 points.

This year games a won on a regular basis in the final minute. The quality of the defensive players has diminished over the past few seasons, coupled with the rule changes making things easier for the offense. Clock management is an important part of the game and his job is to know the situation. Just moving on from his mistakes will do a diservice to the defense of the Bears who placed the team in a position to win, not give the game away.

Well put man. It seems as if more and more this site is football ignorant. I feel like 95% of those of us who comment know more about the game then most of these guys.

What the media overlooked is that the team ‘playing not to lose’ by running 10 straight running plays or whatever and a using a prevent defense with everyone 30 yards downfield is a sure way to let the other team score at will. Bear fans will never forget lapses in football IQ by the coaching staff at the end of the game
