No surprise as Bears fall to Vikings. Cade McNown says the Bears didn't capitalize on opportunities. Vikings coach Dennis Green discusses the play of his offensive stars in Sunday's 28-16 win. Nice try but Bears overmatched. Bears made no progress.
Mistakes outweigh gains.
In a nationally televised Sunday night game with their peers presumably watching, it seemed that was all the Bears were capable of doing. Avoid colossal embarrassment. Perhaps regain some lost respectability. It was too tall an order for a team that did not know how to define itself after a three-point loss to Minnesota in the season opener Sept. 3 but by now must accept its lot. We outhit, outhustled and moved the ball on them.
