Superbowl Thoughts...
So, it would have been great to have won the Superbowl. The Bears lost and got beat pretty bad. I pin the loss on coaching, they were just plain outcoached. And by outcoached, I mean Ron Turner got outcoached, just like last season in the playoff game against Carolina, the Bears went away from the run and got burned.
Just to overstate it... RUN THE BALL!!!
Some good notes:
Mark Anderson, Devin Hester and Daniel Manning were good.
Tommie Harris and Mike Brown are coming back next year.
GO BEARS, do it again next year!!!
