I'm dwelling on the fact that the INT should never happened had the officiating been more sound and not called a phantom PI call on Burton. It stripped away 7 points from what would have been a 28-13 game. Even Nagy said in the presser when asked about the penalty - "Trey did everything I asked him to do on that play."
Going back and watching that play a couple of times. Burton slightly lowered his shoulder, and hit the Dolphins' player. Had he just gotten in his way, it would have never been called. It still shouldn't have been called, but I think when the players/coaches go back and watch the tape, that what they will tell him. "Don't lower your shoulder, just act like you're running your own route."
The way it looked to me at the time was that he braced himself for the impact. So what it boils down to is...

There was honestly no point during the game or in overtime where I felt like the Bears would lose. UNTIL...they ran it on third down to set up the 53 yard FG. Then I knew they weren't winning.

There were so many f-ups that maybe happen once in a season that all happened in the same game to the Bears. Both of those screens where the entire defense looked like they were wearing 20 lb shoes, that OPI, the goal line fumble, it was crazy.

Yeah I was on the other end of the spectrum. At one point during the early 4th quarter I said in the chatroom that I had a feeling Parkey was going to have a shot to win the game for us and miss. Then the Dolphins drove down the field to win and fumbled at the one yard line. I couldn't fucking believe it, it felt like 2006 where things were just going our way. Then we get a couple big runs from Howard and I'm like holy shit we are going to get outta dodge with a W. Then Parkey happened. The rest followed my initial feeling.
This game took a ton out of me, complete and utter simultaneous kick to the gut and nuts.

I'm with WAB on this one. After we scored 21 in the 3rd Q, I thought we were going to win. Even in OT. Especially when we recovered the fumble at the goal line. Then Nagy didn't try and get the 1st down on 3rd & 4 and I was like, "oh shit". I knew we were cooked at that point.
Took me some time to calm down after this game, (not as long as week 1, granted), however, my takeaways from this week.
Despite the fumbles and interception, any of which would have probably settled this result had they not happened, I solely blame this defeat on the defense. Two defeats this season and they both feel rotten to the core due to a 20-3 lead and 21-7 lead being thrown away deep into the 3rd and 4th quarters.
I do not want to hear that we have an 'elite defense' once more until we stop giving up 70 yard touchdowns from throws which travel less than 10 yards in the air.
P.S. I hate screen plays, why does it feel like all our screen plays go for 4-6 yards but everyone else’s go for 40-70 yards?

It just felt off to me. Our defense was getting gashed in the run game, Howard fumbled at the 1 yard line, Trubisky threw a TD which was overturned by a bullshit penalty, next play he picked off in the endzone, we score a TD and then Miami goes off for a fluky 70 yard TD. It was just infuriating and I hate that we came out on the wrong side of it.
yeah well, things like this will have that effect :
Miami's Brock Osweiler threw for a career-high 380 yards and three touchdowns subbing for Ryan Tannehill, who sat out because of an injured throwing shoulder.
I mean honestly. With EVERYTHING that went wrong in that game. The heat, the officiating, the defense falling flat, Nagy booting some play calls, turning it over twice in the red zone, etc. The fact that we were in OT til the very end tells me that this is a good team, that had a bad day.
I expect that we will lose to the Pats, and then go 7-3 from there on out.
This game took a lot out of me. If it was a boxing match I’ve just taken the most brutal body shot ever. Normally I can watch the later NFL games highlights etc win or lose however this week I don’t want football anywhere near me I am that peed off and gashed.
When Hicks did what hicks does I thought this was our day. Then Howard got rolling and it looked like Baltimore all over..then just when Jordie is getting going like a dumpster truck running down hill on a tired dolphins defence we yank him and Matt Nagy morphs into John fox right before our very eyes.
Un effing believable ...you watch this team destroy the patriots

I hate to burst your bubble but losing this game may cost us a shot at the playoffs. Lot of ball left but fuck.... Gotta win games like yesterday's.
Yep, now we have to win games we aren't supposed to win like this week against the Pats to make up for it. Not saying it's impossible - but it can be done. The Pats haven't been the same team on the road as they have been at home. Both losses are on the road. They can be beaten - but the Bears can't afford to make silly mistakes like they did against the Fins and expect to win.
Re-watched the game one more time, what’s being lost in all the mistakes is the bears have a VERY solid O-line. They played fabulous. They’re protecting Trubisky and this will go along way in him being more comfortable in the pocket.

I hope Nagy was watching the niners/pukers game, that’s how you set up a game winning 27 yard chip shot field goal, take note.

I'm looking at this the other way, that's how many things have to go wrong for us to lose. I really don't see us finishing lower than 10-6 and after we do a number on the Patriots next week I'm bumping that back up to 12-4.

You can blame other factors but he missed and we lost end of story.
He has one damn job and that is to make FG's. He missed we lost, Why can't we blame him for losing? At 4.5 million a year he should make kicks that are makeable. Just out of curiosity how many games have we lost over the last three years cuz our kickers missed kicks? Perfect snap, perfect hold and he missed.

Watch that again homie. It was a terrible snap and Megapunt just got the ball upright as Parkey kicked it.
I'm not making excuses for the dude, but there were bigger mistakes than the missed FG.

I did say there were other mistakes. But the bottom line is we were given a chance to win at the end of the game. In fact, the announcers were in shock that Nagy took the throttle off once we got into FG range so we could kick the FG.
You name a great coach and they will tell you just give us a chance to win the game at the end is all we want. We had a chance to win and he missed. End of story move on. To say he isn't to blame makes me think there are alot of ex-kickers in here. Trust me I bet he makes that kick 99% of the time. He missed and we lost.
I personally blame Floyd for his dumb ass play in the first half, which if it didn't happen we never would have went to OT. Great Game we lost.
I believe we are gonna light NE up. THe question is can we stop The Tom?

That was on the officials. Amendola kept on running and the ref never blew the whistle even though forward progress had stopped completely. Floyd maybe shouldn't have suplexed him but what was he supposed to do? Let him go?
