A win would’ve been nice, but it was still the greatest night of my football life. It’s the moment that I will always remember when the real reason for football clicked in. Football isn’t just a game played with a ball on a field. It’s not just 3-D chess with men colliding. It’s human connection. It’s family genetics. It’s an allegiance passed from generation to generation. I witnessed my son standing in the same place that I stand, screaming at a black square with color pixels for an orange and blue team as if somehow his cries could affect the outcome of the game. Last night was the night that I knew I had done my real job as a Bears fan. I pass the game to the next generation. I shared a forever loyalty. He is fully on his way on a life time journey or highs and lows, love and loss, passion and grit, strategy and might, joy and disappointment. And when the day comes where my son and I are at an impasse. We can always talk about the Bears.
One of the best post-game speeches I’ve ever heard was given by QB Caleb Williams last night. He gets emotional about his coach and teammates. Amazing video! #DaBears
Given the full context of this throw (playoff game, they 100% lose if this isn’t converted, they ended up winning, etc.), this has to be one of the very best plays in recent NFL history.
@DarrylConrad@TheodoreMa54766 I don’t disagree with you there. But the difference, for me anyway, is that this is the first time in my Bear’s Fandom, that I’ve felt comfortable with the leadership making these decisions. I trust it’ll be done right.
@DarrylConrad@TheodoreMa54766 I don’t think it’ll be all draft. Look at our OL: Trade, FA, Draft - all fixed in one season. Poles and Johnson will have the defense fixed to continue contention next season.
@670TheScore@StaceyDales You can hear it in the pressers too. Caleb is a sponge to Ben and he echoes a lot of the same phrases that Ben does. It’s a good time to be a Bears fan! Once we get this defense addressed in the offseason, watch out!
