Mornhinweg may just be the worst coach in the NFL. His decision in OT was stupid. But the one that surprised me was at the end of the 4th quarter. The Bears ran their 3rd down play and with around 30 seconds left sent the FG team out. They then let it run down all the way and then kicked it. Now Im not sure exactly how many timeouts the Lions had, but they didn't use any. I know they had atleast 1, and I wanna say they had 2 left. So they could have stopped the clock at around 30 seconds, and atleast made the Bears kickoff after the FG. Then who knows what happens on the kickoff. Granted the Bears probably would have squib kicked it and made one of the Lions up men grab it. But atleast they could have seen where they got the ball, and then if they didn't have good field position to try and get near FG position or get into Hail Mary range, they could have just taken the knee and gone to OT. Just another stupid move that Im surprised hasn't really been mentioned.

he also screwed up by taking that penalty at the end...the bears were loking at 4th and 10 and 52 yard fg into a strong wind...even the old senial dunken bastard pat summerall commented that he would have declined the penalty and forced the bears to kick it...as it turned out we gain 15 yards on the next play and make it an easier fg...with the lions secodary so beat up they only had 5 d-backs and couldnt play a true dime defense..it made no sense to give the bears another shot
