What is the probability that a well-coached team will make that many mistakes? What is the probability that a good coach will keep making the wrong calls at critical times? Zero, and that's the value of the 2008 Chicago Bears I would like to turn around the discussion about probabilities and say: what is the probability that a good team will lose all those games in such a stupid way?

Part of me wishes the Bears get steamrolled these last 4 games, and then Lovie and Company are sent rightfully packing. This team is a lot worse than a 6-6 record suggests. Half their wins come against the 2 worst teams in the league. Others came against teams with key players either out (Eagles -- remember that goalline stand? Think a healthy Westbrook might have made a difference?) or at far less than 100% (Colts -- Manning was outright sickly). This Bears team has no business thinking "playoffs."
