It's over.

There is no excuse for losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. None. But this afternoon, the Bears pulled it off.

Signing McNabb would be nice; clearly Caleb Hanie is not the answer, and  I doubt that Josh McCown would be much better. But now Matt Forte is down with a sprained knee- it isn't clear yet for how long- and without some kind of a passing threat, opponents can simply key on whoever is playing back there.

Besides, the math is against them. The Ursines' chances of winning a wild card berth have to be considered remote at this point, having lost two games in as many weeks that they should have won easily.

Time to turn my full attention to the Blackhawks.

I agree with you, except for one point...getting McNabb would be a disaster. He's past his prime, injury prone and has showed time & time again over the last several years that it's time to "stick a fork in him." Any money spent on McNabb at this point is wasted. He was good in his time, but that time has passed. I'd rather spend the rest of the year trying to give a younger QB some experience, though I think you are right: a wild card birth would be remote at this point.
