Detroit Shock City
December 6, 2020
Sunday, Bloody Sundays
The Chicago Bears dropped their sixth straight game on Sunday, falling to the Detroit Lions 34-30 at empty, cold, sad, COVID-frightened Soldier Field, lowering their record to 5-7 and dooming any chance of reaching the playoffs or getting anything for Christmas other than a vicious punch in the nuts.
The Bears led all afternoon, including a 30-20 advantage late in the game but then they got all Bearish and coughed it up and we won’t give you all the details except for these two: they failed on a 4th and 1 and, just before that, turned the ball over at their own seven yard line setting up the dooming score.
Losing to the Detroit Lions on your home field is like getting pissed on by a kitten at your mother-in-law’s house. It’s icky, awful, embarrassing, and probably well-deserved.
It gets worse; the Bears have four games and probably won’t win any of them. They don’t have a vaunted defense anymore, they have never had a respectable offense, they don’t have fans in the stands, and they don’t have cheerleaders.
The only thing they do have is yesterday. Many yesterdays. And, like Little Orphan Annie and Scarlett O’Hara, they also always have tomorrow. But that, Bears fans, is what we said yesterday. –TK
