Check out these cringe-worthy stats from the Chicago Bears' blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday afternoon. They're so bad it's almost laughable.
Almost.
Almost.
• In the second half of Sunday's game, the Bears ran just 12 plays for TWO yards and ZERO first downs.
• The Bears ran just seven more PLAYS (38) on Sunday, than the Vikings had FIRST DOWNS (31).
• The Bears had just eight first downs on the day.
• Minnesota's 31 first downs fall just short of the NFL record (39).
• Vikings QB Brett Favre finished with 392 yards passing--just ten short of his career hgh (402) also recorded against Chicago.
• The Vikings' time of possession (40:55) more than doubled that of the Bears (19:05).
• The Vikings' total yardage (537) was the most allowed by a Bears team since 1982 (a game in which they allowed the Rams 583 yards and yet somehow still won).
and the kicker...
• For the first time EVER in the long, storied history of the Chicago Bears, the team didn't have ONE rushing first down on the day.

There's still five games left. If they win out a wild card spot is possible. And if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you at a great price.

Want more salt in the wounds? Mike Brown is still healthy in KC.

As long as the McCaskeys own the Bears they will continue to be mediocre--and based on their record, don't expect another super bowl team 'til 2031.
As Dennis Green aptly put it, "They're the Bears."
