Summary

Alex Brown, Jim Miller and Dave Wannstedt are encouraged by the fight the Bears displayed against the Titans after falling to 2-9 on the season, but the drops and missed opportunities show the team is still a major work in progress. Plus, could the Bears give Matt Barkley and Dowell Loggains the reigns to the offense for the rest of the season and beyond?

It's our postgame edition, Chris Bowden, joined by the former Bears,

0:28.0

Alex Brown, and Jim Miller. The end result, another loss, 2721 to Tennessee. But Alex,

0:32.3

as we look at this thing, big picture, there's lots to be encouraged by with the way they finished this game because down 24-7 at one point in the third quarter, the sad part is,

0:37.2

unfortunately, at this point

0:38.5

of the season, this is what we're grasping for and using as positives, though. Yeah, but you have to

0:46.8

something to build a team on because we're not just looking at this year. We're looking at

0:51.0

next year and a year after that because it's a process. It's a

0:54.4

building process. And this is the foundation you're laying right here for that new team that you're

1:18.9

and you got an opportunity to play football again. I like the guys that go out and they take

1:24.6

advantage with the opportunity. Now some of those opportunities will miss. You got some of these receivers in here, they're dropping the football all over the place.

1:32.0

And they think, and Josh Bellamy said it in his press conference, I'll get you next time.

1:39.7

What? Are you kidding me? Is there a next time? Well, at least one of the next times has been checked off after Sunday afternoon.

1:46.8

Right.
