Last week I compared the Bears to Humpty Dumpty. Thinking the only way to put a scrambled egg back together was to cook it, I made a non-Denver omelette. It was working too. The defense was awesome, the offense was playing a good old fashion running game, and Gould was - well - Gould.
It looked like Denver would be shut out for the first time in the franchise's history. It was all going so well and then, in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter, we shared a nightmare. With da Bears winning 10-7 and less time on the clock than it takes to soft boil an egg, Barber went out of bounds rather than allowing the clock to run down. This gave the Broncos the time they needed to tie with a field goal. It's important to note that Marion Barber had been playing a good game until then with over 100 yards. But with one momentary lapse of reason, everything changed.
The Bears won the coin toss and took the field. Barber made a diving catch to give the Bears a first down but on the next play he fumbled turning the ball over to Denver. Another field goal and the nightmare is complete. Perhaps I should have made another omelette.
