Is this the most disappointing loss ?

Gonna say yes.

Yes, the belief that they were moving onto a new plateau has been shattered. We saw the defense implode on big plays again. We saw a bad loss against a beatable team. At home. After a week that stressed getting better at the most glaring weakness, and which showed no improvement. And injuries.

I dunno, but to me, this one, was
one of the worst regular season losses,
of the decade.

It’s not even one of the worst losses of the decade. I’m not even sure it cracks top 10. (Or, bottom 10. You know what I mean.) I think your psychological system just did you a favor by erasing games like Keith Null throwing 5 INTs against the Titans in a 2009 game they lost 47-7. (Should I go on? There’s more.)

I would say it is the most disappointing game of the Fisher era.

Did you see it wv? The Bears were celebrating, before the end of the game they were celebrating.

I am left asking–once again–what IS this team?

Are they good? Are they turning the corner? Are they almost there? Are they really frauds? Have they just been lucky in some games? Are they just the .500 club they’ve been for awhile?

What ARE they?

They certainly don’t appear to be moving forward. They aren’t really moving back.

They just seem stuck in…this–whatever THIS is.

They can be great. They can be awful.

They can beat a great team. They can lose to bums.

What they are is inconsistent and that’s the only thing consistent about them. But even that won’t last because the defense can’t hold together forever–waiting for the companion offense to be ready. They will age–they will want more money…they will get hurt. It will change.

In the meantime the offense is how far away? And when they get there where will the defense be? Are we spinning plates?

I don’t know.

But I’d love for Super Hans from the great British T.V. show “Peep Show” to give them the following valuable pre-game advice(Tip: it also works for shrooms).

No. All losses to division opponents are in the running for first as most disappointing for me. This was a brutal loss, no doubt, but John Fox has a history of getting a lot out of his teams. Cutler has had his struggles during his career, but he’s also had some pretty respectable seasons and in recent weeks he’s been stringing together some solid moments. In the Fisher era last year’s Monday nighter vs the Niners is probably my most disappointing loss. This year the loss to Washington is my most disappointing.
