Misery Index · Despair
Bears fans declaring the season over in Week 2 and circling Ryan Poles with torches after a 52-21 dismantling.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The R.Odunze 28-yard touchdown from C.Williams was the high point, and it happened in the first quarter. Everything after was J.Goff carving up the secondary — A.St. Brown alone torched T.Stevenson for chunks of 34 and 32, the latter setting up shop at the CHI 1. Giving up 500-plus yards and 52 points in Week 2 isn't a bad afternoon, it's a referendum, and the roster questions aren't going to quiet down from here.
