I have higher hopes for this team than any other team I’ve been on in the (15 years) I’ve been here. -- Mack Strong

Short kick and a return to the 50 yard line. EEKS.

Bears 7 - Seahawks 0

Bears kick off to the Hawks. Nice runback.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks Shotgun. Nice pass to Morris after a checkdown and he gets 19 yards and well past mid-field!
1st and 10 – Pass to Engram for a short gain.
2nd and 8 – NICE run by Mo! First down and more! 13 yards! Does Shaun have makeup on?!?! It looks like he’s wearing eyeliner! And he’s in a much better white hoodie today!
1st and 10 - Hass to pass, goes long to a Bear! Luckily it goes incomplete.
2nd and 10 – Hass in touble, throws out of bounds but Heller catches it and makes a nice play. VERY nice job to Heller! I like it.
3rd and 3 – What is that funny hand signal Matt is making?! It’s like he’s making faces with his hands! Whistles. Time-out Chicago. I like Lovey Smith, for the record.
3rd and 3 – Pass to Branch and he bobbles it out of bounds. That pass was a bullet. The announcers are saying it’s timing between QB and WR.
4th and 3 – Field goal is no good from 44 yards.

1st and 10 for the Bears – Grossman to pass and it’s complete. Flags. Roughing the passer on Seattle – Terrill. 15 yards plus the catch. They’re on the 35.
1st and 10 – Benson to run free for 20 yards.
1st and 10 - Benson to run and this time Tatupu gets him.

3rd and 8 – Incomplete pass. Whew. We held them on that possession.

3rd and 2 – Has keeps it, passes to Pollard. First down and plenty more. 13 yards on the play.
1st and 10 – Pass to Engram – Did he get a really lousy spot on that one?
2nd and 3 – Sack. Hass saw the blitz coming and audibled but they still came fast and got him. No prob. At least he hung onto the ball.
3rd and 9 – Pass to Hackett for a first down. NICE pass. Hass seems to be throwing better today. 18 yard gain. We haven’t had many passes but the ones we’ve had have been on target.
1st and 10 – Hass has time, coverage is good, pressure comes and he throws it away.
2nd and 10 – Pass to Branch for a short gain. Glad to see Branch getting a catch after the games he’s missed due to injury.

Chicago 10 – Seahawks 7

Kick off to the Bears. Hester has another nice return.
1st and 10 – Pass to midfield. The Bears are moving downfield all too quickly. Sheesh.
1st and 10 – Running play; Mebane made the tackle. We finally made a tackle!
2nd and 9 – NICE pressure on the QB, nice tackle causing the receiver to drop the ball. Rocky Bernard tried to get up and tumbled back down. I don’t know if he’s woozy or what. He’s getting up and walking off the field.
3rd and 9 – NICE tackle on the receiver and they don’t get the first down. Grant on the coverage.
4th and 9 – Bears will punt. Engram back to receive instead of Burleson. Grrrr. I don’t like that. Anyway, it goes into the end zone for a touchback.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks – Hass to pass. Has time. Goes to Hackett near the first down marker.
2nd and 2 – Messy handoff to Mo Morris but he gets the first down and more. 9 yards.
1st and 10 – Hass to pass. Has time, passes to Hackett.

*** END OF QUARTER ***

2nd and 7 – SACK. Ouch. That was a painful one.
3rd and 16 - High snap, pass to Branch. We are lucky that one wasn’t disastrous. Hass is running off the field funny. I think he hurts.
4th and 16 – Punt, bobbled somehow and there’s a dogpile. Bears recover. Phooey.

1st and 10 for the Bears – Running play and it’s going nowhere.
2nd and 10 – Low pass but it’s caught and the receiver runs out of bounds. It sounded like a very low boo from the crowd. What was that? Weird.
3rd and 2 – NICE pass defense by Trufant! He tipped the ball away. Nice play.
4th and 2 – Bears to punt. Burleson is back to receive. Fair catch at the 27.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks – Pass to Engram for a 12 yard gain. Nice.

2nd and 5 – Mo to run for the first down on a delay. I like that call.
1st and 10 – Hass to Hackett at the sidelines.
2nd and 5 – Pass is too high. Hackett wants a flag but there is none.
3rd and 5 – Whistles blow before the play. No foul for delay of game. Time out Seattle. They say that Seattle is the least penalized team in the league.
3rd and 5 – Shotgun. Hass has time and throws into the ground. That was dumb.
4th and 5 – Punt rolls out of bounds at the 5 yard line. Nice.

1st and 10 for the Bears – I didn’t see the ball but there was a loss on the play.
2nd and 10 – Maybe not, they’re still calling it
2nd and 10 . Benson to run and he gets a handful of yards.
3rd and 3 – Flag. Grossmen went long and nearly completed the pass. What’s the flag about? We’re waiting … waiting. Illegal formation on the offense. 6 men on the line. Declined.
4th and 3 – We should have good field position. Burleson waves it off and then runs with it. He gets hit late out of bounds and we’ll have an extra 15.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks – Hass to run with it. Picks up 5.
2nd and 5 – Just got that one off before the clock expired, then pressure came and Hass had to throw it away. They’re sure putting a lot of pressure on Hass.
3rd and 5 – Pass to Weaver for a first down! NICE play. It looked like Hass might be able to run with it but he dumped it off anyway. Nice decision.
1st and 10 – BIG hole for Morris and there’s a TOUCHDOWN! SWEEEET! I like the way the players are celebrating with him! Everyone seems happy for him! By the way, lots of players on the sidelines are wearing white jackets. Not just Shaun. PAT is good.

Seahawks 14 - Chicago 10

Hester takes the kick off and runs to the 40. He’s good.

1st and 10 for the Bears – Grossman to McKie who was wide open. Nice open field tackle by Trufant.

1st and 10 – Bears to run.
2nd and 6 – Pass for the Bears and a 9 yard pick up.
1st and 10 – Dump off pass – that play spelled disaster but they got a pass off.
2nd and 4 - Running play and we figured that one out from the start.
3rd and 4 – Hass is on the sidelines getting taped up. Pass for the first down and if he gets it it’s only because of a good spot.
1st and 10 – Sorry, I missed the play talking about Hass!
2nd and 7 – The Bears are knocking on the door.
3rd and 1 – Touchdown Bears. This is a high scoring game. We just let them through on that one. Hmpf.
PAT is good.

Chicago 17 - Seahawks 14

Bears kick to the Hawks and it goes out of bounds. We’ll start at the 40.

1st and 10 - Hass to pass. Goes long to Bobby Engram! NICE!!! Hass had to hold the ball a LONG time to find someone open, and when he did it was Mr Reliable.
1st and 10 – Weaver runs for a first down, after Hass checked out of the shotgun.
1st and 10 - :46 left. He goes wide to Weaver. Weaver is TOUGH!
2nd and something – We spike the ball. :25 left.
3rd and 8 – Touchdown pass to Hackett IN THE END ZONE and he dropped it. Ohhh, that hurts!!! Oohh, it was in his hands. Oh, that one is so sad.
4th and 8 – Field goal attempt. It’s good.

Chicago 17 - Seahawks 17

:17 left in the half.

Seahawks kicked off to the Bears, and then the Bears downed it on the next play. We’ll go into half time tied.

*** END OF FIRST HALF ***

Bears kick off to the Hawks and Burleson runs it out to mid field. Sweet!

1st and 10 for the Seahawks – Pass to Hackett for 9 yards.
2nd and 1 – Mo to run and he doesn’t get the first down. He probably lost a yard.
3rd and 1 – Mo to run again and I don’t think he got it again. Looks like they’ll measure. We’re short by a foot.
4th and 1 – Whoa … the cameras are having trouble getting a focus! Pass to Pollard and he gets the first down and a lot more! We’re at the 20 yard line.
1st and 10 – Hass to pass. Has the touch. NICE pass to Hackett for a first down.
1st and goal – High snap. Bad pass. Not even sure who that was for. Incomplete.
2nd and goal – Mo to run hard for a nice gain.
3rd and goal from the 5 – TOUCHDOWN Burleson!!! Oh my, that was crazy. It looked like a play that was not going to work and somehow it did!! Crazy pass by Hass and an awesome catch by Burleson. PAT good.

Seahawks kick off to the Bears. Josh Brown made the tackle! FUNNY!

1st and 10 for the Bears - SACK! Hill got Grossman! Nice!
2nd and 20 – Bears to run for a short gain. Thought for a moment that there were big holes but I guess not.
3rd and 14 – Grossman to pass. Not on target.
4th and 14 – Has there been a momentum swing? Burleson fields the punt but there’s nowhere to go with it.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks - Hass is pressured, runs, tackled from behind and loses the ball. Chicago recovers but there are flags. That was UGLY. Holding on us. Chicago just got the ball.

1st and 10 for the Bears – Grossman goes long and throws incomplete but there’s a flag. Pass interference on Trufant? Illegal contact on Trufant.
1st and 10 – Bears to run hard – took a few tacklers to bring him down.
2nd and 4 – Hit in the backfield by Tapp. NICE!
3rd and 7 – Pass near the first down marker. Where will they spot it? Ohhh, he got a good spot. But wait!!! Holmgren threw a challenge flag for the spot. AND WON!! They reversed the call!
4th and 1 – The Bears ran for it and didn’t make it! WA HOOO!!!

1st and 10 for the Seahawks. Hass is in trouble. Throws to a player out of bounds.

2nd and 8 – Hester to run. Goes out of bounds for a loss. Announcers said they thought he was going to throw the ball. I’m not sure but regardless it didn’t work.

*** END OF 3rd QUARTER ***

Bleah, bleah, bleah, bleah, field goal.

4th and 5 – Seahawks punt. Goes into the end zone.

1st and 10 for the Bears from the 20 with 8 minutes left in the game. Seahawks are calling for the 12th man. Flags. False start. I guess the call to the 12th man worked!
1st and 15 – Pass play and Hill nails him on that one. We don’t get to know how much though because they’re showing us the Redskins game. Grrr.
2nd and 17 – Oh my gosh, what a great pass by the Bears. I can’t believe it. What a great catch.
1st and 10 – That was a beautiful one handed catch while Grossman took a huge hit. That was magic.
1st and 10 – Grossman under pressure, ball is stripped, SEAHAWKS RECOVER!!!!!! Kerney stripped the ball and Tapp recovered it! NICE! We needed that. Boy, oh boy, we needed that!!!

1st and 10 for the Seahawks – Big run for Mo! He looked like he’d be stopped and then he squirted loose! BIG GAIN! 14 yards!

2nd and 12 – Hass to Heller for a nice pickup.
3rd and 5 – Hass in trouble, runs wide, throws to Hackett and he’s … out of bounds. Rats.

Holmgren has thrown the challenge flag. I don’t think he’ll win. The camera angle isn’t conclusive. I think he was probably out anyway. Yep, they rule him out.

4th and 5 – 46 yard field goal attempt by Josh. It’s good!

Seahawks 30 - Chicago 20

3:30 left in the game.

Seahawks kick off to the Bears.

1st and 10 – Pass for a short gain.
2nd and 5 – Grossman to pass. GOOD defensive coverage by Grant. Incomplete pass but only due to good defense.
3rd and 5 – Grossman runs for it and gets the first down.
1st and 10 – 3:00 left in the game. Grossman to pass. Sack. Kerney got him again. That’s an ugly mouthpiece he wears! ?
2nd and 11 – 2:28 left. Grossman avoids a sure sack. He was going down and managed to throw it away!
3rd and 11 – Pressure, pass, complete but not near the first down.
4th and 6 – Grossman to pass, batted away! NICE DEFENSE!!! Sweeeeet! He stretched out and risked his body for that play. I’d give Jennings the game ball for that one.

1st and 10 for the Seahawks from the 40 – We tried to run it with Mo and that was a loss.

*** TWO MINUTE WARNING ***

2nd and 12 – Mo to run. Little if any gain.
3rd and 10 – Hass to hand off to Mo. That was dumb. We were more concerned with taking time off the clock than trying to get a first down? I don’t like that play calling.
4th and 10 – We punted out of bounds to keep the ball out of the hands of Hester.

1st and 10 for the Bears – Gross man has time. Runs into a wall. Kerney gets him for the 3rd time today!
2nd and 15 – Grossman to pass. Has time. Scrambles. Throws long, it’s caught, it’s fumbled, and the Bears recover.
3rd and 7 - :48 left. They have really mismanaged the clock on this drive, although honestly it’s probably futile at this point anyway. Grossman to throw. The receiver is wide open. 35 yard gain. Eeks.
1st and 10 – Grossman spiked the ball to stop the clock.
2nd and 10 - :28 left in the game. Bears are on the 35. Grossman scrambles, throws, the receiver makes a bee line for the sidelines.
3rd and 7 - :22 left in the game. Grossman to throw. Out of bounds. I thought it may have been tipped but the announcers aren’t saying so, so maybe not.
4th and 7 - :18 left in the game. 48 yard attempt and it’s good.

Seahawks 30 – Bears 23

The Bears will kick off to the Seahawks with :13 left and no timeouts. I would assume there will be an on-side kick.

The Bears tried an on-side kick. The ball went out of bounds so the Seahawks will get it. We’ll just have to take a knee and the game will be over.

The Bears have never won a game in Seattle. Odd.

Seahawks 30 – Bears 23
