Duh Bears

Bears FG hits upright, then crossbar before bouncing No Good

It's been a long, cold 24 hours for Chicago Bears fans after watching their team lose in one of the most painful of ways. Maybe the 'freeze the kicker' timeout stint needs to be scratched from the NFL allowable rules book. Oh well, as the saying goes, "this too shall pass." But for fans of that loveable sports city that's home to the Cubs and Bears, the passing might as well be that of a kidney stone. Expect the pain to linger a few days; stay hydrated. 

• Players suffered through a sleepless night and a surreal first day of the offseason after an upset loss to the Eagles. But they also have plenty to look forward to in 2019.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears! (lyrics)

Bear down, Chicago Bears
Make every play clear the way to victory!
Bear down, Chicago Bears
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation
With your 'T' formation
Bear down, Chicago Bears
And let 'em know why you're wearing the crown
You're the pride and joy of Illinois
Chicago Bears, bear down!

Some poor Bears fan acknowledged the holiday season was most definitely over after Sunday's loss
