Bears Bites: Raise the white flag

That sure looked like a white-flag game, didn't it?

Speaking the truth:

Brandon Marshall was right.

This isn't a 3-4 team.

Nope, it's a 3-5 team that's in complete free fall.

You make the call:

Sunday's debacle or the Brett Favre massacre on that rainy, windy Halloween night?

Speaking the truth, Part 2:

"They don't exist."

- Doug Buffone on the Bears' defense

Absolutely fitting:

Lamarr Houston injuring himself celebrating a useless sack in the final meaningless minutes of a blowout game.

So, so perfect.

It could be worse:

This could be the Jets.

Just guessing:

Thinking there was a lot of unexpected leaf raking around town after, oh, about 1 p.m.

Silver linings:

Matt Forte was once again stellar, Sam Rosen and John Lynch had a solid broadcast, hometown boy Jimmy Garoppolo got some playing time, and the possibility of the Bears being flexed into prime time is now pretty much nil.

Fun fact:

Five of the Bears' last seven games are at home.

That could mean an awful lot of empty seats at Soldier Field.

Bonanza!

Not only do the Bears get shellacked by the Pats, now they have the bye week to soak it all in … and then get to travel to Green Bay the following week.

Good times.
