Finally, people in my hometown can come back to Earth. The meathead contingent of the Chicago Bears fanbase has been way-over-top lately. I seriously thought the most unreasonable cadre of Chicago Bears Nation was ready to record Super Bowl Shuffle Remix ’13. Not anymore after today.
Now that the Detroit Lions have put the whopping stick on them, here’s a sampling of people reacting to the Chicago Bears train wreck in Detroit. I saved my own commentary for the end.
The Detroit Lions showed today that the NFC North is a wide open race. It’s anybody’s division now. Well, anyone except the Vikings.
i still like the bears chances for a wildcard

Thom Brennaman is an idiot. Johnson was wide open. The play call wasn’t the issue on that Wright pick. Stafford’s stupid throw was.

Shea McClellin might be the worst run defender in the history of ever. Lions keep running right at him and they’re torching the Bears.

Can’t believe I’m even thinking this, but Jay Cutler really isn’t that bad looking of a guy. Great eyes. Better hair!

Hey, at least you’re not a Jaguars fan, right? — Alex Quigley (@alexquigley) September 29, 2013
@RaferWeigel better where? I’m not sold! The offense as a whole has not shown to be much better. D and special teams have been amazing! — Rashied Davis (@RashiedDavis) September 29, 2013
Bad pocket awareness, bad ball control. He’s no rookie, and there’s no debate who has let the Bears down most today.

Today we’ve secretly switched Jay Cutler with Rex Grossman. Let’s watch and see if anyone notices #CHIvsDET

“had his bell rung” is just a euphemism for “inflicted bodily harm that could likely lead to CTE development later in life”
