Eighteen times over the last two seasons, the Bears offense has taken over possession in the final 6 minutes of regulation or overtime with a chance to produce a game-tying or go-ahead score. Only four times have the Bears capitalized with scores. And on one of those — in Week 11 of 2015 — they failed to add a two-point conversion to tie the Denver Broncos.

I thought Cutler was the master of 4th quarter comebacks though?

This is what you get with an HC from defense close games.

No, not clock management. Play calling, tho

Is this after one of the NFC Championship defeats? Looks like old Candlestick and the photo source is the Niners' website.


Biggest take away from the OP is how small the gap is between the good and the bad in the NFL.

Let's go through last year:

Packers bears down by 8 -no score Cutler INT 0-1

Raiders Bears down 2, we drive and win with a field goal 1-1

Bears Cheifs we drive and win with a touchdown 2-1

Vikings Bears - Langford drop on 3rd down we lose by 3 2-2

Bears Lions - we have ball with 21 seconds and drive all the way to Lions 4 lol and score a fg 3-2

Bears Chargers - we score game winning td with over 3 minutes left 4-2

Broncos Bears - we score game tying td with seconds left but can convert 2 PT conversion 4-3

49ers Bears- kick return sets up chip shot but Robbie Gould misses 4-4

Redskins Bears - we drive to 32 yard line and attempt 50 yard fg and Robbie Gould misses 4-5

Lions Bears- down 4 no score cutler INT 4-6

4-6 with a missed 2 point conversion and two robbie oils misses, could easily be 7-3 with a good kicker last year and a two point conversion

This year :
hoyer (0-2 colts jaguars)
Cutler (0-1 Giants)
Barkley (0-1 Titans)

I wouldn't say this is shocking, last year was a good year under 6 minutes this year not so much

What I find stunning with how bad they've been the last two years is that 18 teams almost lost to a terrible Bears team.

This really shows how much parody there is in the NFL. If we can put together two solid off seasons and stay healthy we can be right back in the mix for several seasons.

Lost to the Lions 2x last year, how is this possible?
