(54,770 posts)They are worthless, as last two games clearly indicate. I usually take a nap when they play, but try to watch the last quarter.
Over that 55+ years, it's been easier to watch them hoping they'll lose.
I try to watch the ending too just to see them lose.

(31,848 posts)I grew up a fan, and nothing (aside from a Biden blow-out victory and senate flip) would make me happier than a SB appearance for Cleveland. I'm just not confident they have the defense or ball control offense to go all the way. I hope they can prove me wrong.

(13,538 posts)In the first 3 quarters the Falcons defense was pretty darn effective and/or Trubisky's Bears were pretty bad. Matt Ryan and the defense were both bad in the 4th quarter.
Putting in Foles turned the game around for the Bears. He threw 5 touchdown passes (2 called back after review). The one ruled an interception was more or less up for grabs, but the other was a flat-out drop by Anthony Miller.
Change a few crazy plays, and the records of these two teams could easily be revered.
By the way, I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and a Bears fan since I got interested in watching sports during the 1970's.

Punt (5 plays)
Missed FG (7 plays)
Punt (3 plays)
Punt (3 plays)
Punt (3 plays)
Interception (4 plays)
The offense did nothing to help.
