still no runs by the Birds by any player other than Hurts.
Bears score a TD with 6:47 left in the half.
After they missed the PAT, it's 6-3, Bears.
@ILLINOISLION -- I have no sympathy for bad kicking by Da Bears.

coaching issues - clearly
Today’s colder but the first day we’ve seen the sun in a week. And we’ve had rain and snow all week.
Amazing the field never looks this good in December…..it usually looks like a frozen swamp.

Yeah. I think it was Brisker that blitzed, which left the center of the field wide open.
The Eagles are trying their hardest to replicate the Washington loss. Will Siriani fix the offensive play calls? It’s 10 degrees out there. They can’t throw the ball all game.
I think Parsons and possibly MRob got in the head of Sirianni this week. He is trying to prove Hurts is the reason for their success. The Eagles have the best OL in NFL, 2 great WRs, Sanders at RB and that defense. Is it Hurts or is it the entire team? It was not smart for Micah to make those comments but MRob even questioned Hurts legit MVP status after the Bills game last night. He stated Bills would not be the same team without Allen. He was questioning if the Eagles would be that much different without Hurts.
Perhaps it's RPO reads that are causing it, but I'm not crazy about Hurts running this much when it's this late in the season, and when it's really cold in Chicago. There are RBs on the Eagles' roster, and in the backfield. If the Birds are not passing on a play, I'd prefer to see the RBs carrying the ball in the 2nd half
Thanks for the updates. Stuck in Northern Carolina with no TV or Radio coverage. 
If my wife was not vehemently opposed, I’d move back to Philly tomorrow.

The Eagles should just run and run and run and run Da’ Bears got rid of their two best defenders and are very vulnerable to the run!
TD, Hurts, on a keeper from the 1.
With the PAT, it's 17-6, Birds, with 12:19 left in the 3rd qtr.

Why should she mind if you moved back to Philly?

Well, I don't want to get into an argument with your wife, but the Philadelphia region is a great place to live.
Anyway, you can listen to the Eagles radio PBP at:
Sanders with a fumble and the Bears recover at the Birds 27.
It's close as to whether it was an incomplete pass or a fumble, but the ruling on the field (fumble) stands.
I spend this thread grumbling about them not using Sanders enough (to run; this was a screen pass), and then he does this crap.
In his defense, it was his 1st fumble of the season.

Bears score on a pass and run after the fumble.
After the PAT, it's 17-13, Birds, with 8:45 left in the 3rd qtr.
3 turnovers by the Birds today. smh

3rd & 2 and the Birds go for a long pass to Watkins that is incomplete. Get the 1st down, keep the chains moving, and keep the D on the sidelines. I didn't like the play call at this point in the game.
I don’t know what the Eagles struggle most with the Midwest teams who have horrible records.
Birds go for it on 4th & 6, Hurts with a pass attempt to A.J. Brown who was tightly covered, and it's incomplete. smh. I don't disagree with going for it (they were in Bears' territory), but I was not impressed with the execution or decision making. Brown was a yard or so short of the 1st down, so even if it was a completion it's questionable if the Birds would have gotten the 1st.
Hurts is playing poorly today. The sack on 2nd down was atrocious. And they’re going to punt from their own 3 in a moment. Sigh.
