The Bears won today and had 7 total passing attempts?
What's the story there? I had the game on in the background today and it didn't seem like there was a hurricane in the area or other weather stuff. Was it strategy, an anomaly, or something more sinister?
(I just added that sinister part for dramatic effect.) I guess they got a couple of defensive touchdowns early, so maybe they were trying to protect a lead, but it seems like you'd have to pass more than that even if you're crawling into some sort of Galapagos turtle shell. |

They had a couple of defensive touchdowns and they were protecting the lead. Howard was getting the yardage so passing wasn't all that necessary. It looked like Howard was running against the Chiefs' defense out there.

If it looked like the Chiefs' run defense, I guess that's all the explanation I need.

The Bears' defense was pretty stingy too, so that made punting a more acceptable option, I guess.

I don't think you watched this game at all. Howard was contained. Panthers held the ball forever and managed to **** it up each time.

Reminds me of that Caleb Hanie / Tyler Palko faceoff game in 2011. I believe the Chiefs got a kick return TD, and it was all they needed to beat the Bears 7-0.
And that's how even Tyler ****ing Palko was able to get a win as Chiefs QB, beating out former franchise hero Brodie Croyle. |

The touchdown came from a Tyler Palko hailmary to Dexter McCluster at the end of the first half. I only know this because I remember streaming it in a hotel in Zurich while on business. |

Tyler Palko threw up a Hail Mary at the end of the 1st half and McCluster**** caught it off a rebound. That's all we needed. I only remember it because it was the first game I saw after deploying to the Middle East. I stayed up the entire night watching football before work. After that game, I reconsidered. |

If that wasn't the most poorly played game in NFL history I can't imagine what was. But I'm glad I didn't pay to see it live. |

Now that I look at the box score, it doesn't really look like Howard ran that well, but it seemed like he was getting good yardage. I guess I wasn't watching closely enough.
