I need time to digest this before writing. When Chris Harris dropped that tipped Brady pass in the endzone you could've made the argument that the game was over at that moment. Great teams make great plays when they matter most. They don't let opportunities literally slip through their fingers. The Patriots scored a touchdown on their next play and the rest is forgettable history. The Bears had chances at two other would-be interceptions and missed them both. When you're an underdog those miscues and missed opportunities are amplified. Coupled with New England's incredible lack of mistakes, it made for one of the more depressing, disappointing games in a long time.
Great teams and great players make great plays at key opportunities, a la Charles Woodson who had a knack for rising to the occasion.
Very disappointing. The Bears are probably somewhere between the team we saw yesterday in the snow and the team we say lay the samck down against Philly. Borderline playoff team. Meh
