Bears fans are reliving the same nightmare from last season of Cutler going down and the entire offense suddenly looking lost. The 49ers' D obviously played a big part in that but man.
I enjoy the NFL's recent scheduling wrinkle of saving most divisional games for the last six weeks of the season since it really leaves things up in the air. The Bucs and Falcons still have to play each other twice, and each have one more game against the Saints. The Vikings still have FOUR games against the Bears and Packers remaining. Houston plays Indy twice in the last three weeks. The 49ers still have to go to Seattle. Beginning last Sunday night, Pittsburgh plays five divisional foes over the last seven weeks.
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
