1 - Defense?
2 - Howard fumble
3 - Cohen fumble
4 - Reversed TD due to bogus flag for interference on Burton (next play was the int)

There are probably about 10 of these. If any one of them aren't on this list and the bears win. Unfortunately, they're all there.

Bears couldn’t play any worse and they still almost won on the road in 90 degree heat.

It’s a nonconference loss. Bears are still in 1st.

Hopefully The Turtle and Fangio meet this week and talk about how to not lose a game.

Everything that could go wrong, did. Frustrating game.

Probably why most people can't wrap their head around this lose without going berserk. Start at the top of the list and by the time you get to the bottom you forget the first thing... it's a downward spiral.

It is really odd, no one knows how to react.

It was a team loss. If any one of those things didn't happen the team would have won.

If one of those two turnovers (Howard or Trubisky) had not occurred we would have had at least a field goal and would have won the game.

If the Defense maybe had done some hot yoga or something maybe they wouldn't have been on fumes in the finial minutes.

It is hard to say. This loss stings but we now have a big motivator with New England coming in. And the Packers have to play (away) the Rams and the Pats for the next two games after they are done beating up on the 49ers.

We got Bowell Logjammed. We got Gased (personally, I do think this was a huge underrated factor - he spent a year going against Vic's defense, knew Vic and the D's tendencies, and knew how to limit the pass rush). We got Osweiller Hat-tricked.

It was a good game down to the end. No reason to be upset
