You are a retard
If you think the Bears got their ass kicked this weekend. You are also a retard if you think the Bears got their ass kicked in the Super Bowl by the Colts. In fact, you give me many reasons daily to think you are a retard. I give myself many reasons to think I am retarded also, so this isn't exclusive to just you. But you've forced me to get off-topic.
Listen, the Bears lost to the Chargers. But for anyone to say that Rex Grossman blows or that the Chargers absolutely manhandled the Bears this weekend is totally biased. Now, as a Bears fan, allow me to be unbiased as I break down the game.
Rex Grossman did not lose the game. Rex Grossman didn't even play a shitty game. He had some solid passes, and he had one mistake on a miscommunication play that lead to an interception. He was shaky early, but that definitely did not cost the Bears the game. What cost the Bears the game? Two things: turnovers and shitty play-calling. Again.
I'm not going to flip out about the Bears running backs not having a good game. The Chargers have a stout run defense. In fact, in the past, their pass defense has put up more average numbers than the run defense because they negate the run (and are winning a lot) forcing the other team to pass. And I'm not going to flip out about the fumbles because neither back is particularly fumble-prone. It's not like we have 4 Rashaan Salaam's on the depth chart. (Or three for that matter.)
But the play-calling was weak. Just like the Super Bowl. We couldn't run the ball, but we kept with it. Then when we would string together a couple plays, the momentum would be broken with a stop on a run play. Or, consider late in the game when Grossman completed passes (gasp! It happened!) and the Bears had 2nd and 2. Run, no gain. Run, no gain. 4th and 2. Run, 1 yard gain. You like to think your back could get those yards, but at the same time, asking him to get it again 7 guys in the box when blocking has been fairly weak all game is stupid. Play-calling was unoriginal and bland.
I would also like to point out how many 2 TE sets the Bears ran. I don't know if this was a product of the Bears practicing assuming Greg Olsen would play or not, but this to me seems like a product of playing to the Chargers defense rather than forcing them to adjust to your offense. The Bears have solid WR's. Mark Bradley is supposed to have a breakout year. And yet we barely run any 3WR sets, let alone 4. Run a quick slant with a spread offense. Force the Chargers to adjust their game plan. It's nice to beat them at their own game, but why not get creative?
Supposedly the punt that sucked hit the cable that carries the camera across the field. It blows, but both teams had to deal with it, so those are just the breaks. You know what else is the breaks? Missed calls. So fucking deal with it retard. Besides, there were a ton of missed holding calls (including when Lorenzo Neal clotheslined Mike Brown, which, coincidentally, was the play he was injured on) so it evens out. Even Troy Aikman pointed out that it should have been a penalty. Quit bitching.
So the Chargers get the ball and go 28 yards or whatever on 4 plays. But they score on a trick play. How does that show dominance? The fact that they had similar numbers in the first half? Yes, absolutely dominant. The only portion of the game that the Chargers dominated was time of possession in the 2nd half (due to always getting the ball on turnovers) and getting into the end zone.
So if it was the Colts or Patriots playing the Chargers and losing the game like this, does that mean that they're by far much worse teams than the Chargers? Why because it's an NFC team does it mean that the Bears, and the NFC, blow? The home team fucking won. It's not a foreign concept.
I'm not trying to say that the Chargers didn't beat the Bears, or that the Bears got screwed over. The Bears didn't execute, the Chargers did. But don't act like Grossman blew the game when he did all he was given with the weak playcalling. The Sex Cannon wasn't slinging laserwads to the Chargers all game. He saved them for all of the choice San Diego poon. And it's not the Bears fault that the refs missed the fucking neutral zone infraction, so cut the shit of calling them cheaters.
*Also, I was entirely sober for this game, so my memories are unclouded by alcohol.
