Bears Finish Disappointing Season

The only interesting footnote to the 2011 season is their 8-8 record is the first time they have finished with that mark since the NFL went to a 16-game season in 1978. Other than that, all we can say is what a disappointment. I wrote on Friday that I admit I had the Bears finishing 8-8 or 7-9 prior to the season-my glass was not half full. What I did not predict is that they would fine themselves rolling toward the postseason after ten weeks, as they did. To see the bottom drop out was clearly disappointing. But losing five of the final six games was clearly due to injury. Fault Jerry Angelo for draft after disappointing draft, and I do, but no other team in the NFL would continue to roll toward the playoffs after losing their top two offensive players. So like it or not, Lovie and Jerry must be given some slack. (Maybe the Packers could after watching their backups play today, but they are admittedly off the charts offensively.) Hope to have the final stamp on the 2011 Chica...
