1st Quarter
14:52  There is no way a rookie quarterback lights us up like Matty Ryan did Detroit the opening game of the season.

13:36 Perhaps Brian Billick was meant to do in game analysis! Beats the hell out of what Madden has given us in the last five years anyway.

11:22 Ryan is 3 for 3 all for first downs.  He is playing like a 5 year veteran.  They are already in the red zone.

11:12 Thanks for the silly play call of a reverse when you are driving down the field like a hot knife through butter.  The Atlanta coaching staff just saved us 4 points. Thanks I got a feeling you may regret that drive stalling play call. We appreciate it!

8:2O Kyle’s look just never inspires confidence.  He doesn’t have the look of a marquee quarterback. 

6:50 Another poor 3rd down throw off the blitz.

6:29 Hopefully the defense is able to something this time out. 

6:20 That’s what I’m talking about! A turnover deep in the Falcon’s part of the field, but it looks like Turner’s knee was down.  Let’s see if the replay booth sees it as “inconclusive.”

6:27 First break goes to Atlanta. They keep the ball! But we are owed some referee love later in the game.

5:32 WTF!!! A perfectly thrown ball on 3rd and long with horrendous coverage.

4:26 Ryan is 7of 7 and lighting us up like a Christmas tree. Didn’t catch a lot of BC ball last year, but this guy looks like the truth.

2:38 This is ridiculous. He’s making the Bears defense look like the Little Sisters of the Poor. 

1:39 We’re so in need of a sack. Who am I kidding? The Bears haven’t seen consistent quarterback pressure all year. The first incomplete ball is a batted ball. Wow. Given that we really can’t look any worse. 6-0 is a moral victory. Am I already referencing “moral victories” in the 1st quarter?  Is the arrival of Matt Ryan the balancing of cosmic karma of Atlanta? After the Michael Vick experience haven’t the people of Atlanta suffered enough to deserve a modern day Joe Montana to play quarterback? Throw in last year’s punk ass coach bolting before the season’s conclusion, Atlanta football fans should have some good karma coming their way.

2nd Quarter
15:00 Glad that’s over.  Perhaps this is like an early Mike Tyson fight.  If the Bears can survive the opening barrage! OK that is a bad analogy!

14:53 Wow a first down!  Rashid is catching balls!

13:56 I really wish everyone would get off of Orton’s nuts.  He hasn’t done all that much yet, but they are singing his praises. I fear he’s is starting to hear all the praises and his game is starting to revert back to old form.  He is being badly outplayed by a Rook right now.

13:15 Come on Kyle, get rid of the damn ball already. 

12:57 A 23 yard pickup by Turner, the human bowling ball. He doesn’t look like he should be as fast as he apparently is.

11:38 Does Ryan ever throw a bad ball? This guy is in Techmo Bowl mode. He can’t miss!

9:48 Can we get a little pressure on this guy.  That was a touchdown dropped. Thank you.
 
9:16 A free first down!!!  A fumble, change of possession, then another fumble; What the hell is Tommie Harris doing?  I really forgot Tommie was still playing.  He’s playing like he just got awarded a huge contract and has no intention of playing hard again.  Why are you even trying to get up? Where are you going? Now Lovie is compacting the situation by giving away a timeout with this absolutely futile effort at a challenge.  No one was within 5 yards of Harris when he fumbled when he tried to get up.  Yeah, it has been a rough couple weeks for Tommie. Born again, my ass. The Bears need a three and out.

8:30 Wow, the Bears finally catch a break. How’s does that smack in the mouth feel Roddy? 

6:53 Glad to see the Bears loosen up? Just play the damn game.

5:16 Kyle finally throws a ball away when there is nothing to be had.

4:03 Points. Any points. Finally! But can we stop Atlanta?

3:05 Ryan is officially a stud quarterback.  He continually makes great 3rd and long throws on a rope and I haven’t seen him make a bad decision yet. If he ever gets a hold of an elite receiving core this team might be scary.

1:53 We’ll take an offensive pass interference.  But we can’t afford to have Peanut out.  2 back up corners would not be a good.

1:21 New corner already got burnt! Not like Ryan needs any help today.

:44 The first punt of the game by the Falcons.  If we are in Chicago you would get some sarcastic applause right about now.  9-3 at half! We’ll take it because we are really getting pummeled on both sides of the ball.

3rd Quarter

14:08 3 and out, two batted balls by Jamal Anderson. The Bears aren’t doing themselves any favors. Can we sustain anything on offense?

12:18 They are back at it again.  The Falcons are ripping off huge chunks at will. Our defense has got to be tired.

10:41 Another field goal and based on what the Bears offense has shown so far, field goals will do them just fine.

10:30 Devin looks tentative and hasn’t ripped off a long game changer in quite some while. When did he start tip toeing everywhere on run backs.  He used to find a seam and hit it hard. Now he looks like he’s looking for a nice soft place to lay down.

8:45 Finally, a third down conversion. (Insert sarcastic applause here)

7:42 3rd and long again. Time to pass the ball. What you got?

6:34 4th and one. Good call. Great run.

4:02 Finally, the offense looks like they pulled into the drive way.  Good to see guys!

2:24 Forte stomps into the end zone. Bears are back in the game by getting the first touchdown of the game.  It’s almost like they needed to back into a corner before they were prepared to fight.  Does Lovie need to play Jedi mind games at the beginning of every game to convince the O that they are two scores down at the beginning of the game to get them coming out of the gates this way?  Let’s see if the D can go get a turnover!  I’ll settle for Atlanta not scoring.

:52 Daddy, there’s that bad man again! 3rd and long and he hits another strike and a sure touchdown if Roddy doesn’t loose his footing

:06 Roddy White and Matt Ryan are just “gin suing” the Bears secondary.  No pressure on the quarterback and 2nd string corners: recipe for an ugly ass loss.  Can we keep them out of the end zone again?

4th Quarter
15:00 Our bend and not break philosophy is going to give Chicago a collective coronary.

14:15 Another 3rd and long and we get burnt up again. Wow we look horrible. I can’t remember looking this bad but having not given up a TD.

13:25 I spoke too soon. Roddy & Ryan are having us their way. 19 – 10.

11:35 Whoa, we  effectively get a do-over on the off sides on a corner and Devin is suddenly looking like a #1 receiver on a quick slant. Maybe that is the problem.  As Hester slowly takes the form of a receiver, he is looking less and less like a great return man. Perhaps it is too much to ask him to do both. Truthfully, I’m not sure which the Bears need more: Devin the kick returning beast or Hester the legitimate #1 receiver.

10:25 And Kyle is looking like a decent NFL quarterback all of the sudden. Great outside throw to Olsen. We need a TD!

9:39 Why do we wait for desperate times to start looking like an NFL offense. And why are we throwing a jump ball to a tight end? Even at 6’5” Olsen doesn’t look like a leaper to me. 

8:18 4th and goal. What we got???

7:56 That was absolutely pathetic.  No line surge, no launch pad for Forte. We looked like we were operating in a hurry. 4th and goal in the 4th quarter, down two scores, and we make an average defense look legendary.

6:28 Our first 3 and out all day. What can we do with the ball? Are we going to regret not taking those 3 points?

4:13 Back in the red zone. What can we do this time? 

4:05 I bet we take a field goal this time?  19-13 with 4 minutes left. On side or do we trust the D to get another 3 and out? We still have 3 time outs. I vote for kick it deep and hope the D can do its job. 

3:48 80 yard return. Game over. This is the first game of the season that I think we simply got outplayed and deserved to lose.  3-3 with Minnesota on deck. We still have the inside track on the NFC North.

2:46 Elam shanks the kick and Bears have new life!!! What did we do to deserve this opportunity?

2:00 We were just notified that Kyle has exactly one 4th quarter game winner plume in his hat. Can he live up to all the pre-game hype? These are the times that legends are made.  The Bears have absolutely no business trying to lay claim to this game, but yet they are one play from “making miracles happen.” Jerry McGuire was so “one liner” rich.

1:10 Across the fifty. Dinking and dunking our way to the red zone. This could really happen?

:24 Devin Hester is catching must have balls all of the sudden. Sportsmart must have had good hands on sale this week. Good throw and good catch and now the Bears can be like thieves in the night.  Wall Street’s Robber Barons have got nothing on the Bears today if they can get in the end zone.

:18 An under thrown ball would have done it. Why is Booker limping and why isn’t he headed back to the huddle. Where are you going? We need you on the field.

:11 Rashid. Rashid, Rashid!!! Kyle, Kyle, Kyle! Holy Sh*t!!!! The Bears have no business winning this game.  This is comparable to the AZ game a couple years back. Wow! Lady luck is with the Bears. This isn’t quite as improbably as the Indy’s game against Houston last week, but pretty close. Especially since Peyton Manning doesn’t wear Bears #18.  Rex’s agent can officially start looking for free agent deals.  This is officially Kyle’s job!!!

:01 What the hell just happened??? Why would Mike Brown sit back in a prevent knowing Atlanta needs a deep out to get in field goal range. There was only 6 seconds left. Cover the wideouts tight with deep halves to stay clear of the deep ball. There’s been no pass rush all game. Why attempt one now? I don’t want to blame Lovie, but that is a monumental brain fart. Elam gets to win this game with a 47 yard field goal!! I don’t think he has enough leg anymore.

:00 I’m wrong and Bears lose.  I’m exhausted! That was a sick end. The Bears really had no business winning, and they had it stolen back in the last 11 seconds. Matt Ryan is a pickpocket that Oliver Twist’s Fagan would be proud of.  I don’t know if John Elway had a better 4th quarter comeback. (Even if the game was just “stolen” from Atlanta moments before) Who knew Tommie Harris’ aborted fumble recovery would prove to be foreshadowing for the game’s crazy conclusion? If only the Bears could learn to play the whole game with that same sense of desperation.   A valuable lesson learned.  Let’s see how the Bears respond. Thank goodness the NFC North is winnable at 9-7. You ever have that feeling of déjà vu?
