This Before & After Video From The Bears Crushing Collapse Today Would Be Hilarious If It Wasn't So Damn Sad

It looked like things were FINALLY clicking for the Chicago Bears today at home against the equally atrocious Denver Broncos.

It was a career day for the beleaguered Justin Fields. He set a franchise record by completing 16 consecutive passes in the first half. He finished the day 28-for-35 for a career-high 335 yards and a career-high four touchdown passes.

The Chicago guys said he was "back"!

Back from where to where exactly we're not really sure. But he was back nonetheless.

Eddie was riding high at halftime and in good spirits for the first time since pre-kickoff in Week 1.

And despite jumping out to a 3-touchdown lead, the Bears inconceivably found a way to blow this game. The Bears held a 28-7 lead with 4:11 remaining in the third quarter, and Fields had only one incompletion on his first 24 attempts.

But then came the meltdown. The evaporation of a massive lead with the Bears losing a game they led by 21 points or more for the first time since 2002 when a Dick Jauron-led team let a 27-6 lead over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots slip away in Champaign, Ill. That sentence is sad for so many reasons.

But the defense choked, the coaches choked, and sadly, Fields once again choked.

I can't stand watching these terrorist hostage style videos from Eddie every week. We still have 4 more months left of this shit. I don't know if Ed and the boys can survive this.

But back to the video from up top. If you watched that and laugh, shame on you. Have you no soul?

Watching Ryan Poles and the brass finally have something to be happy about was a good sight to see. It was positivity in what's been an ocean of negativity this past month.

This fan sitting in front of the box turning around to applaud him was a nice touch.

Fast forward an hour and a half later and seeing that same fan with that unmistakable look of disgust and disappointment was anything but funny.

That look on the face and body language by who I think is player personnel guy Jeff King, being mind blown at how bad this team is tugged at the heartstrings.
