Was the Chicago Bears Losing in the NFC Championship Game to the Green Bay Packers A Bad Season?
Several Green Bay Packers fans have suggested to me that the Chicago Bears losing in the championship game was a disappointing season. It’s their way of taking their boring lives of milking cows and eating brats and trying to ruin the lives of us that live in a cool city and can actually read. Besides the Packers, do they really have anything else to do besides stare at livestock?
But, was it a disappointing season? In a single elimination tournament anything can happen. If Lovie Smith didn’t totally screw things up and played Caleb Hanie the whole second half instead of Todd Collins for a few series, maybe things would have gone differently. The Chicago Bears weren’t dominated but they were outplayed. And certainly outcoached.
The New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and New Orleans Saints were all teams projected to do better than the Chicago Bears. And yet, they didn’t.
I’m not upset. I’ll take a shot at the Super Bowl every year. Hopefully, Smith doesn’t screw up again.
