While I still have a wee bit of faith left, I think the time has come to admit what some Bear fans may be thinking: The team seemingly quit when Cutler got injured.
If you look at how the Broncos came back from a near impossible win (starting with the near impossible tie), it shows what magic can happen when the team BELIEVES in the man under center and when they don't.
The Bronco players believe in Tim Tebow, even if John Fox and John Elway aren't. And that can possibly be the success of the Denver Broncos and the legend of Tim Tebow.
Ah. The Legend of Tim Tebow. We'll be telling these tales to our grandchildrens' grandchildren. And each tale will grow taller and taller as we get older. Do you know in that game against the Bears in December of 2011, Tebow threw for over 600 yards and scored five touchdowns? And he did all this while his hands were tied behind his back. He WILLED the Broncos to win. Thus, thrusting Tim Tebow into the "Legends Hall of Fame".
As well as the Fall of Caleb Hanie. Bear fans had trust in him and then lost it after one loss. I had faith in him until today. While the loss is not on his shoulders (I think it falls squarely on the foolish decision of Marion Barber to go out of bounds instead of putting a knee down to perspectively end the game) the fans have lost complete faith in Hanie's ability to lead the team and to win.
There are videos begging for Jay Cutler to learn to throw LEFT HANDED so that the Bears can possibly do something.
Until his injury, the Bears were looking at the playoffs. Now? To quote Jim Mora:
Playoffs? Don’t talk about — playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game! Another game.
I think that we have pretty much kissed our playoff chances good bye after today's game.
While I don't think ALL is lost, I'm confident MOST is lost. I don't know if we're ever going to recover from this until Cutler comes back. The good news was he was throwing; the bad news is that, even if he WERE to come back, it'll be too late.
