Bears Bites: Glimmers of hope
The Lions tried to Lionize this one, but in the end even that wasn't enough for this Bears bunch.
Not all bad, though:
The defense played well, the special teams were solid, Jimmy Clausen was surprisingly efficient, and the Bears were competitive until the very end.
Can't ask for much more than that.
Change O pace:
Love him or hate him, can we all agree it was refreshing to see someone other than Jay Cutler running the show?
Long overdue moment:
That shot of big Kyle Long excitedly shaking Marc Trestman after the Bears blocked a Lions field-goal attempt?
A pretty awesome moment in a season with very few of them.
Ridiculous moment:
Two words: Dominic Raiola.
Two more words: Absolutely classless.
Hey, Kyle Fuller:
Don't feel bad, a lot of guys have gotten "Tronned" this season.
Just to recap:
Playing OK and hanging in there late before ultimately losing and improving your draft position in the process?
Priceless.
The countdown:
One more game.
And then:
The real fun begins.
